Don't think the band was able to believe it when he tuned his guitar out like that - gives it a sense of unease. You can't see it there but the guy is a brilliant guitarist too (source: seeing him live).

I'll read this later.

That's a frikkin' masterpiece. If the author does not get picked up by Nate Silver/Vox.com/Guardian Data Blog then they don't know diddly - he's begging them to take it and it is superior to much of their output.

OK so I don't know what that is really - the dudes need to refine their pitch (that comes off as a pun) but it looks and sounds awesome. Great, eh, sandbox toy (that's not actually a pun, although, it is kinda).

War on Drugs' Red Eyes is the best 80s softrock song The Cars never wrote.
