From the great news-n-MP3 aggregator An Aquarium Drunkard, comes a couple of free downloads. First, I’m a big fan of the Decemberists, that is, until I realize that I haven’t owned any of their records since 2003’s brilliant Castaways And Cutouts, which is so good I’ve worn out my tape copy twice and the original CD has been forever lost to an ex, but whatev. Not bitter. Anywhoo, Decemberists main man Colin Meloy is fond of putting out little tour-only covers EPs on his occasional solo acoustic jaunts, and in 2005 his merch table was selling Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey. “Pregnant For The Last Time” doesn’t quite work without the full rockabilly backing, but his version of “Jack The Ripper” is a gorgeous re-working of what is many fan’s favorite Moz song and confirms my long time suspicions that Mr. Meloy would probably be a virtual one-man Smiths/Morrissey karoake machine if you got him drunk enough at a party.
