What the hell does that mean? Aw, who cares ... while I'm one of three people that actually liked Sam's Town I'm very excited to see The Killers've gone back to their Duran Duran new wave roots.
In other news, Rachael Yamagata's new album came out today. It's good. It's supposed to be a "double album" but is in fact a moody album with an EP's worth of upbeat tracks tacked onto the end. The front-end of the album will bum you out, but it does it so blissfully you'll love wallowing in the misery. The ending tracks are like a bracing dip into a crisp, clear pool that pulls you out of the deep darkness that precedes them.Tonight's rilly big shoe? MSTRKRFT at Double Door. I'm so happy they moved this from Metro since it means a) no little kids and b) MSTRKRFT in a room as small as Double Door! Wahoo! It's bound to be absolutely insane. If you like either dance music or rock music, you do not want to miss this.
And finally, the news crossed my desk last night that Pontiac is closing. Rumor has it the Violent Hour folks bought the lease from Buddy. I hope so since that means there's some chance the space will at least be taken over by a cool bar, but even in a best case scenario we've lost one of the few cool rock and/or roll bars in the city.
