RETRO REVIEWS
Retro Review: The Decemberists – The Crane Wife
The Crane Wife. In my opinion, this is The Decemberists at the peak of their songwriting and record-making prowess. The Island (track 2 on The Crane Wife) might be my favorite 12 minutes of music released in the last 25 years. So dynamic and cinematic. The music isn't just a passive vessel to carry the lyrics. It's a fully built out set on which the story unfolds.

Before / After – New Kids on the Block
The last few times I photographed the New Kids Mixtape tour, they didn't really have individual sets for each of the artists on the lineup. Instead, they would come out and collaborate in different configurations throughout the show. Because of that, they allowed us to photograph the entire show to be sure we were able to cover each artist. This year's tour is called the Magic Summer Tour and returns to a more traditional format of two supporting acts in DJ Jazzy Jeff and Paula Abdul, followed by a headlining set from New Kids on the Block. Unfortunately, that means that we weren't given the whole show, but restricted to the first three songs from the soundboard for each set.
