Adored Mailing List Recipients,
About a month ago, we all at Decemberists HQ got hit with some pretty hard news. Jenny Conlee, our since-the-very-beginning accordion and keyboard player and all-around rad person was diagnosed with breast cancer. If you or anyone in your world has been handed a similar diagnosis, you know what a bolt-out-of-the-blue this news can be.
The good news is that Jenny caught it early. And while the prognosis is very, very good for a full recovery, tackling the disease will mean some intensive treatment for our Jenny as well as a lot of important recovery time.
So I’m writing this to say that, weighing our options, and with Jenny’s fervent blessings, we’ve decided to go forward with our scheduled tour dates this spring and summer.
What we know now: Jenny will very likely miss all nine of our concerts in May and June. We're all hoping that her recovery will be such that she'll be able to get back on board as soon as possible.
And now, a note from Jenny:
Hello to Everyone,
I am very sorry to say that I will be missing a few shows coming up as I go through treatment for breast cancer. It has been great to be on tour these past few weeks. The band and crew are like family to me and have been incredibly supportive and understanding. To be making music with everyone and seeing the fans has helped me to feel more positive and keep my mind off of my diagnosis. But, alas, as the tour winds down, it is time for me to get back to reality. I will try to get into surgery as soon as I can after we return from this leg of the tour so I can begin my recovery. There are still a few unknowns out there concerning my cancer, but I am thinking positive and hope to be back on the road soon. Thanks for all of your support! See you soon!
Lots of love,
Jenny
Thanks for everyone’s understanding during this crazy time.
Yours,
Colin Meloy
The Decemberists

i don't know if this is legit or not but i'm currently downloading something labeled as a new Man Man record circa 2011
i'm quivering with anticipation :mrgreen:
Scandanavian War Machine:
holy shit guys it's legit
all my dreams are coming true
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
Profound Lore really seem to know what is what when it comes to death metal. I read in an interview they're releasing the debut album of a Canadian band called Antediluvian. The band's been releasing demos from 2006 to present day and have only gotten better over time, so I've got high hopes for the LP. Easy description of their sound would be the atmosphere of Portal plus the ferocity of Blasphemy, which I doubt is any of y'all's thing but if it is let me know and I will put some of their stuff on *wink, cough*
Going back to Profound Lore, this July they are releasing an album by a new band called Disma, who I was not very interested in until I read it's made up of members of Funebrarum and former members of Incantation. That right there is a recipe for goodness
Also, um, holy shit I guess the new Autopsy album is floating around out there
JD:
