As the great Woody Guthrie<\/strong> once told musicologist Alan Lomax<\/strong>: “Music is some kind of electricity that makes a radio out of a man<\/strong><\/em>.” We have heard that played out well in song over time (U2, The Clash, Radiohead, The National<\/strong>, Elvis Costello<\/strong> (most appropriately), etc.). More recently we’ve heard it in the likes of Mondo Cozmo, Car Seat Headrest<\/strong>\u00a0and Australia’s\u00a0The Smith Street Band<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
