    Especially live. Also, I've been listening to a live version of Lucky You a lot lately. You can find it at the following:

    I'm really having trouble getting into these guys. I've had Boxer for a few months now and just bought Alligator and The Virginia EP a few weeks ago. It's good music, but I never have an overwhelming urge to listen to it.


    Fake Empire is absolutely gorgeous though.

    There's a few gems on there and the live version of Fake Empire is great. Other than that I prefer the albums.
