Rolling Stone had named Sam's Town the Most Underrated Album of the Decade. I had previously named it my Most Favorite Album of Ever, so the props are ok by me.

It used to be that I would drive home to Wilmington from York and the other day I did the opposite. I drove by my old house in Holly Oak and it looked a lot better than when I left it. I didn't like seeing other people's cars in the driveway though.


The post-Mojo hours made me remember my love for Sam's Town. And my drive home made me remember my love for the Mama's and the Papa's. Coming to/from New York, York, or Delaware to each other is always a weird little mental adjustment, but it was really nice to see the Oceanic 6 and company.

i can't stay

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark

To me, the Killers are to music what Lost is to television. And the thing I love about them is that their cds always come out with themes/songs/specific lyrics that are always so specifically applicable to my life. Hot Fuss was the summer of 2004, when I was about to move to Massachusetts & was coming out of my cage and I was doing just fine. Then Sam's Town came out as I was leaving New Hampshire to move back to Wilmington, which pretty much must be the city that inspired the song. And sometimes, I closed my eyes and saw the place where I used to live when I was young. Continue to Sawdust, a very Romeo & Juliet era of my life. And finally, we have the Killers' newest, Light & Day. I don't like the cd title because it sounds too Polyphonic Spree song, but I definitely have needed consolation in my darkest hour with all this impending doom going around.
