Seriously!

The Decemberists' latest, the countrified The King Is Dead, is the number one album in the U.S. this very moment. According to a press release, 93,567 copies were sold last week. Pretty cool that an indie-folk-leaning outfit named after a Russian uprising can hold the top spot on the Billboard 200 these days. And pretty amazing considering that their last album, 2009's The Hazards of Love, sold 19,000 in its first and biggest week, according to Billboard.

Pretty cool indeed, and I'm one of the 93,567 and it's sounding pretty good to my ears.
