During the last leg, in February, the band made its way from coast to coast for a tour that included several nights at The Town Hall in New York. While there, Stephin Merritt invited the folks at Other Music backstage to discuss the new record and tape a few solo performances—just him and his bouzouki—of “The Nun’s Litany,” from the new album, and “This Little Ukulele,” from his soundtrack for the 2000 film Eban & Charley. You can watch both performances in the inaugural episode of Other Music's new online series, Backstage with Other Music, at digital.othermusic.com.
