When he turned up at the NPR Music offices to perform three songs from 'The King Is Dead,' Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy wasn't expecting to be staring into dozens, if not hundreds, of rapt faces.

Set List:
"Down By The Water"
"Rox In The Box"
"June Hymn"

    let me translate: Chris brown is cannabis. A$AP Rocky, Tiger, and generic hip hop band are vomit. The decemberists speak so much truth, they are physically the truth. After long and extensive research experts have discovered Good music is good music. Secretly We Are Gay my fellow black person who is probably of African or Caribbean decent.

    LOL...no that's John Moen... though the beard does make him look like Colin Meloy who is on the left. And I agree with sfgiants921, Sara is hot.
