I recently got two new (to me) Decemberists albums: Her Majesty and The Hazards of Love. I've been listening to the latter quite a bit the past few days, and it's quite lovely. They have such a wonderful, beautiful sound. Shara Worden, who makes an appearance on some of the songs, has this beautiful, rich, luxurious voice. At first I thought, somehow, that Fiona Apple was singing on some of the tracks, as she has sort of a similar, smoky sound. Gorgeous. I'm currently getting into Her Majesty at the moment - I've only heard a few tracks. It's clearly an album by a less experienced band; simpler and lighter. So far so good, though.
Today Jason and I went to a Magic prerelease out at the Knights of Columbus hall in Charlestown. We didn't actually register for any flights - we just got there wicked early and perused the cheap rares that one of the vendors was hocking. That's all we really go to these things for, it seems: cards for casual. Neither of us are tournament players - we just don't care. I ended up picking up approximately 100 cards on the cheap. Rockin'.
After that, we went back to his place, bummed around, watched a few movies, played cards, and had calzones delivered from Thyago's pizza in Belmont. This, I think, is a suitably relaxing Saturday. Now I just need to plan something for us to do at our Ars game tomorrow. I seem to be in charge of providing something for that the next few weeks. I think Loki will make an appearance.
