Colin Meloy Playing Pianos on Friday

Can't believe I hadn't heard this: Colin Meloy of the Decemberists is playing a "secret" solo show at Pianos on Friday at noon. Thanks to Stereogum for the head's up. The full band is also playing a sold-out show that night at Hammerstein Ballroom. I sold my ticket to the latter so I could hit the Merge Records showcase, and because I hate Hammerstein.

I guess this is just another reason for me to try to skip out of work on Friday. Seriously, this job bullshit is really a pain in the ass.
