The Decemberists - Eli, the Barrow Boy 2005

The Decemberists are an American indie rockband from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2000. As of 2024, the band has released nine studio albums with their lyrics often focusing on historical incidents and folklore. Audience participation is a part of their live performances, typically during encores. The band stages whimsical reenactments of sea battles and other centuries-old events, typically of regional interest, or acts out songs with members of the crowd.

Picaresque is their third studio album, released in 2005. The word "picaresque" refers to a form of satirical prose originating in Spain, depicting realistically and often humorously the adventures of a low-born, roguish hero living by their wits in a corrupt society. To facilitate the creative process and avoid creative block, band members filled a used bike helmet with slips of paper listing strategies and ideas to try out. Non-traditional rock instruments used in the album's recording included an accordion and a hurdy-gurdy. The album was produced by Chris Walla, also the guitarist for the band Death Cab for Cutie.

I kept seeing people say they only voted for the tv because he fit the stereotype… man that stereotype was made in 2010s tumblr when we were all teenagers. Let your palate expand to new flavors. Let your palate mature. Let the palate of tumblr embrace Senshi of Izganda.
