The Decemberists are doing a few shows with a full blown orchestra as a backing band. They performed the other night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and a really good live recording of the entire show is available over here. I’m not one to collect live recordings of my favorite bands, but this one is really really good.

Reading about this battle is boring, except when Fake Steve Jobs talks about it:
So you’ve no doubt seen this story or one like it explaining that Universal Music Group won’t renew its iTunes deal. And you’ve seen people saying that the majors are trying to “recalibrate” their relationships with us. Actually what’s happening is they’re crapping in their pants. They woke up one day and realized that we’ve got 80% share of digital downloads. Suddenly all the power in the value chain resides in one player. Oops.
