Thank you, dammit

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

HBINC has published the new Listen Dammit CD, and with Marnie out of town for a few days, I got a jump start on leaning what will become my new favorite songs. You can only hear a song for the first time once, of course. So it's fun to make initial impressions on songs I know I'm going to end up loving.

Anyway, my favorite song so far is "Eli, the barrow boy" by The Decemberists.

In case you're wondering, the dictionary defines barrow as either "a handbarrow/wheelbarrow" or "a pig that has been castrated before reaching sexual maturity."

I'm guessing the Decemberists were using the first definition ... Interestingly, that's not the song to which I thought you might first gravitate.

That's true -- the song would be even more depressing if you add a castrated pig to the mix.
