We ended up with over a hundred tracks with all the percussion, brass, three pianos, celeste, glockenspiels, vibraphone, eight acoustic guitars, two drum kits, bass synths, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, electric guitars, bass and all the voices. Enjoy, and be bold."

R.E.M

2011-02-14T15:31:00.000-08:00

Musically, they rely on safe folk-rock formulas that evoke everyone from R.E.M. to Gordon Lightfoot.

Lyrically, they visit other eras, suggesting the times of minstrels and troubadours and employing antiquated language, such as “piquaresque” and “infanta” and font such as the Barrow Boy and the Chimbley Sweep.

Monday night, the Decemberists visited the chic Theater and bestowed upon a crowd of almost 2,000 fans an amusing evening of music, history and literary inferences leavened by moments of whimsy, satire and good-hearted snarkiness. And the crowd, which was wound up from the start, loved every minute of it, even the cheesy, recorded foreword by the mayor of Portland, Ore., the band’s hometown.

Colin Meloy is the Decemberists’ lead vocalist, songwriter, master of ceremonies and head of its ship, which integrated special visitor Sara Watkins. For a band that delves into material that could collapse under the weight of all its intellect and ornateness, he and his mates manage to keep things light and lively.

Marilyn Release your inner

2009-08-08T23:33:00.000-07:00

There’s a Hollywood movie star in all of us, says Caroline Cox. And you don't have to have Marilyn or Marlene's classic beauty to look a million dollars. So what’s the secret? Glamour with a capital G - and knowing how to work it ..

According to playwright Arthur Miller (who should know because he was married to Marilyn Monroe), ‘A beautiful woman can turn heads, but real glamour has a deeper pull. Glamour has the power to rearrange people’s emotions.’ But to be truly adorable, you’ll also have to be warm, kind and charming. That’s the difference between being admired like Madonna or loved like Kylie. A glamour Womanhas a magnetic few men can resist. ‘its what creat a man ask for your telephone number and a woman ask for the name of your dressmarket,’said Lilly Dache, milliner to movie stars including Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich. The good news is that the secret to glamour lies within reach of every woman – and doesn’t involve the vulgar trappings of superstardom. Truly glamorous women are adored because of their exquisite poise, graceful body language and dramatic physical presence. When Katharine Hepburn arrived in Hollywood, the director George Cukor was appalled by her pulled-back locks. He shook her hair loose, had it shortened to chin length, and instantly showed off her greatest asset – the most photogenic bone structure in cinema history.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

The REM Fans who want to see them have to wait for tickets to go on-sale before buying them from a broker though. You can save a lot of money that way. See the REM site for more information but they don't have any "on-sale" dates listed yet. http://remhq.com/index.phpThere are lots of trustworthy ticket sites out there if you miss out on the original on-sale date and you cannot get tickets for that show at face value. As season ticket holders get their tickets and start selling them to brokers, you'll start to see more sites listing REM tickets. I'll recommend a few in case you need them later.Always buy from a trusted ticket broker if you do have to buy tickets on the secondary market. Ebay won't help you if you buy fake tickets from a crappy seller and deciever at the show aren't the most friendly people. Buying from a trusted broker with an online guarantee is the best route to go.Any of the sources listed below are people I feel safe working with and stand by them with my utmost confidence. The only difference will be price and customer experience, so pick the one with the friendliest service and best price.
