A rarity: Stephen Colbert featured a musical act as guests on his Comedy Central show last night. And he picked one of the best: Portland's The Decemberists, who specialize in a traditional folk sound served up fresh, with original songs. Their lyrics and melodies, as fans know, are brilliant and enchanting.

They performed "The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid", from their new album, The Hazards of Love.
