Finally, a reason for me to break in that Wavves weed grinder: The Decemberists covering The Grateful Dead's "Row Jimmy." It's got a little more shape and warbling, nasally vocals than the original, but it's equally chill worthy. I feel it's more appropriate to sing "roll, Jimmy, roll," as you pull out some papers and slowly do a stoner version of the chicken dance.
The Decemberists released this track as a b-side on the 7" for "January Hymn," which serves as a precursor to their upcoming album The King is Dead. Their first single, "Down by the Water" can be heard on this previous post, and the updated date for the album's release is January 18. But don't go to that link yet, because "Row Jimmy" is right here for you to check out via soundcloud first:
