This weekend was great, but semi-exhausting and filled with The Walkmen’s new album You & Me. Saturday night it was played while at a friend’s house party out in the middle of the woods in the pool, under the stars (and rain). And once again sunday night, dockside in the bay, after a hysterically-botched attempt of boating out to camp and prepare for my first attempt at crabbing. There doesn’t seem to be a situation that this album doesn’t sound great; although the later in the night the better.

If you look at our handy baltimore/dc calendar you will notice you can catch them this saturday at the 9:30 club in DC. I won’t be able to make it as i will be back in ohio for a wedding and the Browns season opener, but if you go please add a comment letting us know how it was.

Pitchfork recently caught up with them to play a couple songs and do an interview. Here is them performing an amazing version of “In The New Year”, my favorite song on the album. I also highly suggest the interview, where lead singer Hamilton Leithauser reacts to being informed about “green touring” with “that sounds like a load of shit to me”. Ha.
