The Walkmen, “All Hands & the Cook”

If you don’t like it, won’t you tell meeeeeeeeeeee?

The Walkmen, “Heartbreaker”

This was almost tonight’s Walkmen pick, but not quite. What is it actually going to be, then? Show up and find out.

The Walkmen, “Line By Line”

Forever.

The Walkmen, “The Blue Route”

What happened to you?

The Walkmen, “There Goes My Baby” (Drifters cover)

This was on a video game soundtrack seven years ago. Did you know that? I didn’t know that, until about an hour ago.

Finding obscure Walkmen songs/covers is like finding twenty bucks in a coat pocket. You may not have any idea about why it took you this long to find it, but you’re so excited past the point of caring.

The Walkmen, “In the New Year”

This was maybe more apropos last year, but whatever. This is my favorite song from my favorite band at the moment and you can fucking bet I’ll be belting it out, half-drunk, hurting my throat, as I prepare to go out to wherever it is I’m going tonight.

It’s dedicated to too many people, places, and things to list, so I’ll leave it at “I’ll see you in the New Year.”

Every. God damn. Year.

One more dance before the world ends. Let’s make it a good one.
