20 for 2005 (#17): The Decemberists - Picaresque

The DecemberistsWhat excited me most about Picaresque was that as the reviews started coming in, you saw fewer comparisons to Neutral Milk Hotel than with Colin Meloy's previous records. I thought it was a lazy reference that never really did The Decemberists justice. Picaresque features a stunning number of strong songs about love, the plague, the ocean, circuses and death. Really he's just reping the mean streets of Montana. Oh and there is a really powerful anti-war song (16 Military Wives) which could either be about the War of 1812 or that Iraq thing. I never knew pirates could be so literary.

  4. The "Secaucus Seven" sold the team in 1998 to a group of local real estate developers led by Raymond Chambers and Lewis Katz, who called themselves the "Community Youth Organization" and had an intent of moving the team to Newark, New Jersey. The next year the group signed an agreement with New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner to form YankeeNets, a holding company that would own the two teams along and increase leverage in future broadcast contracts by negotiating together.
