The Decemberists made an appearance on NPR's Sound Opinions over the weekend and, in addition to performing three songs from last year's The Crane Wife, did a cover of Brian Eno's "I'll Come Running." You'll find that MP3 posted above, along with other MP3's of the band's live renditions of Crane Wife highlights "Oh, Valencia," "The Perfect Crime" and "Summersong."
