i heart hamilton / THE WALKMEN

so i caught a WALKMEN show here in cincinnati last evening / its been several years since i have seen them play live / and not sure what made everything click this time around... maybe the sense of maturity and perfectly crafted sound, just shear strength of playing tunes from this incredible new lisbon record, or maybe just hamilton's sharp haircut, well fitted suit and suede chukkas these days / but they completely blew me away / ive always had a lot of respect for this band, and no one can croon like hamilton leithauser, but this latest album still has me believing all over again // i cannot wait to catch another show from THE WALKMEN under the tents at BONNAROO this june
