"Books, Muggles, and Rock 'n Roll"?

Check this out. These two guys are actually doing a tour and actually wrote an album full of songs about Harry Potter books. Uhh...I'm not really sure what to say to that. This is very weird. These guys are very nerdy.

The Walkmen

Brooke, this one's for you.

(Remember that time when you told me I should turn this uber-boring blog into something better...something about music...? This is the first attempt at that.)

I recently got a hold of an issue of "Time Out Chicago" and while flipping through its pages I stopped at the music section when a blurb on The Walkmen caught my eye. This reminded me that I have their album Bows + Arrows and that I like their album Bows + Arrows. Check out "Hang On Siobhan" on insomniac nights and "The Rat" & "New Years Eve" any time. Their newest album, A Hundred Miles Off is out now, I have yet to hear it, but go here to see part of a video for the song "Louisiana." I thought it was funny, but I don't know why you can only watch the first 30 seconds.

More to come...possibly.
