The Twilight Sad Do Shows With Beirut; Music Writer Continues Having Nightmares About Twilight Sad’s Album Cover

Oh my scratched chicken turds; did you read that headline? No, not the Beirut and Twilight Sad thing; I’m talking about the incessant nightmares I’ve been having! That spooky masked child has been haunting me in my sleep. I keep waking up in cold sweats, dreaming that the pillowfaced child is about to pounce on me like a super villainous, scheming wretch with sinister intentions!

What do you mean you don’t care about my dreams? What kind of insensitive reader are you? Don’t make me cut myself!

Okay, sure, so there’s this tour with this Scottish band called The Twilight Sad, and they’re touring with this guy/band called Beirut for a few dates. Perhaps one of the more unique combinations of groups I’ve heard of this year. It’s sort of like an indie U2 with an indie Arcade Fire. What? Arcade Fire is indie? Wait; what’s an indie again? Man, everything’s just been ass-backwards since OiNK got shut down and Radiohead started giving away low-quality MP3s of their new album.

Why don’t I just shut up and just give you the tourdates. Would that be more beneficial?
