It looks like The Decemberists have left 1825 with their latest release, The King is Dead, released today on Capitol Records. While I can't say upon first listening to the new album that I like this new direction .....

Did you catch the seventh episode of season 24 of the Simpsons? It's basically Portlandia (Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein) meets the Simpsons.
What's also pretty cool about the episode is that the Decemberists briefly appeared as themselves! It's exciting because the Decemberists took a "multi-year hiatus" after their The King is Dead tour (which ended last August). They haven't released new music since their EP, Long Live the King, which came out November 2011.
Colin Meloy and company were probably asked by the Portlandia people to guest star because the band is also based out of Portland, Oregon.
Anyway, I don't normally watch the Simpsons, but my sister said I should watch it this week for the Decemberists and so I did. Can't believe Matt Groening is still producing the Simpsons after twenty-four years! I remember seeing them when they first appeared on the Tracey Ullman show!

Since I'm assuming we all know who Sir Paul Mccartney is, I'll skip the usual introduction and just proceed to Memory Almost Full. .....

PAUL MCCARTNEY

So, did we all survived 12/12/12?
Members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl, Krist Noveselic and Pat Smear, reunited for the first time in 18 years after Kurt Cobain's death with Sir Paul McCartney on the benefit show for the Superstorm Sandy victims. They collaborated on a brand new song called "Cut Me Some Slack," which can be seen on YouTube.
According to Wikipedia, over 2 billion people saw this "12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief" special!
The song, "Cut Me Some Slack," will also appear on Dave Grohl's upcoming film "Sound City Movie."
McCartney's latest album is called Kisses on the Bottom, it was released earlier this year. The big controversy about his fifteenth studio album was that you couldn't find it on Spotify or any streaming services. His label, Hear Music (Starbucks) might have changed their tune, but McCartney, as far as I'm concern, is old-skool and it doesn't surprise me that he won't go streaming.
