Article source for : Why doesn't Obama have The Decemberists on his iPod?
First, Colin Meloy's IQ is surely a multiple of Ludicris's. And, second, The Decemberists actually have something substantial to say about the state of world politics - not that I agree with them, but at least their work is built on complete sentences.
I guess the racist, misogynistic and morally bankrupt hip hop crowd is more desirable to Obama than the Portland coffee house crowd. Too bad. To me, it really makes McCain's Britney/Paris commercial ring true.
I may be somewhat biased. The Decemberists have already cemented their place as my signature band of this decade as the Pixies did in the 90s and XTC in the 80s.
