This Makes Me Cry
The Decemberists, who have quickly become one of my favorite bands, had their trailer, with all of their gear, stolen . As luck would have it, this theft came right at the start of their new tour. They recovered the trailer, but unfortunately, the theives took all of their equipment. Take a look at this gear list (PDF) and you'll understand why this whole event makes me cry.
I can't even imagine how crushed they must be. I saw Colin's two Martin acoustics at his solo show in January, and they were gorgeous. One was a 12-string that just shimmered beautifully when he strummed it.
If you'd like to donate a buck or two to the band and their sound engineer, a PayPal account has been set up.
