Phonebooths

Who among us hasn’t experienced a night of drunken revelry that ends with three or four people paying five dollars to cram themselves into a booth and pose for the world’s most unflattering photo op? Great Lake Swimmers frontman Tony Dekker took this ridiculous practice a step further recently, while in Belfast, and played an entire song inside one. It’s definitely a new take on the whole “man alone with his guitar” concept. GLS’ Lost Channels was just named one of the best records of 2009 over at iTunes, so the band is obviously in an appropriately lighthearted mood these days.
