Decoration Day

The Drive-By Truckers are all about the election. To inspire you to go out and cast your vote (cough, cough OBAMA), they are giving away a free song on their website called "Uncle Phil & Aunt Phyllis In The Month After The Election". According to Stereogum, frontman Patterson Hood wrote the song right after the '04 debacle while in a state of "semi-shock and near-depression as [his] daughter's birth was impending and [he] was depressed to think of her born into the world during a Bush Presidency."

Hopefully no deja vu this time around. Go out and vote, please.

On another note, the Drive-By Truckers play a pair of dates with The Hold Steady at Terminal 5 this week. This should not be missed.
