If you’re listening to Neon Trees’ The Picture Show this summer, you’re probably being forced to drive your little sister and her friends to soccer practice in a minivan, and she’s just reached over your shoulder to ask, “Can you play track three again?” and you grind your teeth as you cue the radio single, while in the back they incant “Louder! Louder!” like a demon choir or a yapping Cerberus, and, as the suburban landscape passes you by, you repeatedly ask yourself why you didn’t take that internship in Bosnia and leave the U.S. for a good while.
