Oh, Valencia!

I just watch the Decemberists' Conan appearance. They sounded great, or at least greater than bands normally sound playing live on TV. I found it particularly off-putting though to see:
1. their new drummer who is both a)male b)competent (I know I know, it isn't true, but I always secretly kinda felt like I could play drums about as well as Rachel Blumberg)
2. someone attractive (aside from Colin Meloy, naturally). Apparently there's some confusion over whether Lisa Molinaro is a new band member or just around for the tour but really--the whole pretty girl in a mildly modern outfit just seemed so contrary to their aesthetic, or at least my perception of it.
