Jonathan Richman, as usual, already said it perfectly 20 years ago: "I've been all around the world, but I love New England best. I may be prejudiced, but it's true, I love new England best." Hailing from Portland, Ore., not Maine, the Decemberists aren't quite as partial. On "Valerie Plame" B-side "O New England", from the band's singles series, Colin Meloy is likely to offend Red Sox Nation sensibilities by bringing up New York or referring to New England as an "empire" (salt in mourning Sox fans' wounds, guys). But the Decemberists aren't like to offend too many eardrums with this gently strolling midtempo guitar-pop tune, which oddly enough recalls Richman devotees the Lucksmiths-- particularly Naturaliste's "Sandringham Line", from its melody and 1960s pop-style backing vocals to its train line motifs and image of a city fading into the distance. Hope the Decemberists remembered to drive past the Stop 'n' Shop with their radio on. (via Stereogum)[from Always the Bridesmaid: A Singles Series, Vol. 1; out now on Capitol/Y.A.B.B.
