Colin Meloy: Your Tongue Upsets Me

Look man, I think your music is awesome. For a long time I was itching for some shanties, tales about some forgotten souls who lived and loved just like you and me. You scratched that itch and I am thankful. I don’t want to sound ungrateful and I know a big part of your music’s charm is the fact that you sing like one imagines a Dickens character to sing but bro, do something about your tongue. It’s unseemly watching you spread it out like a cobra poised to strike.
