Pitchfork

Not everybody's vinyl-only bonus track gets its own headline story over here at Pitchfork news, but yet again, not everybody we cover wrote The Crane Wife.

Hearts went pitter-pat last week when we reported that Decemberists frontman/coffee shop heartthrob/toy monkey enthusiast Colin Meloy's forthcoming live solo acoustic disc, Colin Meloy Sings Live!, would arrive in April from Kill Rock Stars. But there's more!

It turns out that the vinyl incarnation of Colin's album won't be dropping via Kill Rock Stars at all, but rather from their buds at Jealous Butcher, which was responsible for the vinyl release of all of the previous KRS Decemberists LPs. It will come on two discs of 180 gram audiophile quality virgin vinyl, and sport as a bonus track a cover of the oft-covered "Blues Run the Game" by 60s folkie Jackson C. Frank. The vinyl, like the CD, emerges April 8. More Meloy, you say? Pile it on.

Colin and those Decemberists will close out January with four dates, the first of which is tonight in Portland.

Decemberists dates:

01-22 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
01-23 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
01-30 Seattle, WA - Moore Theatre
01-31 Seattle, WA - Moore Theatre
