The month of March is over, and it’s time for the world to bloom a bit. This month was especially difficult to keep the total tracks to 40.

Off their most recent album, the Decemberists release ‘This is Why We Fight,’ and I guess what they are trying to say is they fight for the post-apocalyptic high school children.  Great song, interesting video.
