My favorite lyric so far….from “The Suburbs” (and if you know me, then you’ll know why): ‘I want a daughter while I’m still young. I want to hold her hand and show her some beauty before the damage is done…”
I saw them at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 4th and WOW!!! All worth the wait. Of course, it was my ninth time to see them, but they lose nothing upon repeat viewings.

A new collaboration from James Mercer of The Shins and Danger Mouse (of most recently Gnarls Barkley). I always like to see these sort of partnerships…..you get a bit of the old sound, but with a new take on it.
