Their bloodfeud over use of greenscreen long forgotten, our precious Stephen Colbert allowed the Decemberists back on the Report last night, and he even let them have two segments, one with a mini-interview and one with a song performance (a la TV on the Radio). Above is the interview, in which Stephen tells them they should name an album You're Beautiful, Honey, makes a crack about biking in Portland, and mocks Colin Meloy's ample 19th-century sideburns.

YET ANOTHER ENGLISH SONGSTRESS: If you like your soul blue-eyed and British, London's Adele hits up Neumo's tonight with her breathy, honeyed voice for an all-ages show. Tickets are sold out, but it looks as if Craigslist has a few, though you have several other fans (and high ticket costs) to contend with. Similarly-minded singer-songwriter James Morrison opens.

Seattlest just received this email from Blind Pilot's publicist: "I just got word from the band... due to flooding on I-5, there is no way for Blind Pilot to get to Seattle, so the show is canceled." So, yeah, we told you to get out tonight and go see these guys play at the Triple Door, but we're taking it back. Stay inside and shield yourself from the effects of rainmageddon. We find that pizza, vodka, and bad '80s movies take the edge off the End of Days.

Portland-based Blind Pilot were not only chosen as Starbucks' "Pick of the Week" for the week of January 3rd, they're also loved by NPR and KEXP, and now, by us.
