BONNAROO! AND DECEMBERISTS!

Bonnaroo's lineup has been announced (Complete with Bruce Springsteen & Phish!) Check the bottom of this post for the complete listing...

But before we get there, here's a snippet for you:

A week before the Decemberists release their new album, Hazards of Love, they will play the album in its entirety live @ SXSW. The appropriate guests on the album (My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden and Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark) will all be in attendance for the singing.

In an interesting marketing move, the Decemberists' performance will be broadcast and webcast on NPR. Other bands playing the NPR showcase have yet to be announced.

Oh, and have another Decemberists song while you're at it: The Rake (MP3)
