Colin Meloy, frontman for the Portland, Ore.-based folk-pop group, says “ ’The Hazards of Love’ was intended to live in the woods, this dangerous place where strange and wonderful things occur.” And by strange and wonderful, we think he meant creepy. Though the musical was never staged, the band did collaborate with a Los Angeles-based film collective to produce an animated accompaniment to the album, which they’ll screen — and play live to — for the first time at Royce Hall on Monday, Oct. 19.

Dear Andy
“My wedding to Monica is now less than a year away. We’re getting married on October 10th, 2010. Yes, that’s right. 10/10/10. Granted we’ll have been engaged for over 2 years by then, but that’s besides the point.
We’ve talked about getting a sponsor for the wedding in jest but as the big day approaches we’ve talked more seriously about it. I’ve mentioned it at work a couple times to various colleagues and associates but nothing further has come of it aside from people joking with me. I’m going to try to set the record straight a little bit. I’m totally serious here. I (and my fiancee Monica) want to get a company to sponsor our wedding.” (via What James Knows » What Can My Wedding Do For You?)
