I speak truth. Colin Meloy Sings Live will be released on April 8th from Kill Rock Stars.

17 songs-

2 We Both Go Down Together
3 Evoking a Campfire Singalong
4 The Gymnast, High Above the Ground
5 Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect / Dreams
6 Dracula's Daughter

To tide you over in the meantime, you can snag NPR's recording of the Birchmere gig from the 2006 tour here. For Colin/Decemberists fans, I strongly suggest downloading it. At least download this version of California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade.
You owe it to yourself.

Colin Meloy's Official Myspace has some cool demos and stuff too.
