Sharing Is Caring

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day. Today's 20% chance of showers has turned into a 100% chance of me waiting out a thunderstorm instead of biking to class, nearly convincing myself that the storm has had its fun before another cloud bursts and puts me 5 more minutes away from leaving (not unlike the thunderclaps/distant trucks that we'd listen for as lifeguards, accumulating the 20-minute delays until we could summarily close the pool for the day). I've taken this time to track down a song from the Decemberists' recently completed tour, The Advance of the Picaroons. The track is a cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and features a solo vocal performance by Petra Haden, otherwise known as the Decemberists' violinist. Ross and I and others saw the song performed on May 26th at the Warsaw in Brooklyn; this recording was taken from an NPR webcast on May 6th.
