I’ve got the new Neon Trees song, “Songs I Can’t Listen To” running through my head on repeat. I was introduced to the song this week when I had the opportunity to see Neon Trees at the YouTube space in LA for a taping for What’s Trending. It was particularly cool because the set was basically CBGBs uprooted and transplanted into the YouTube studios.

Here’s the performance:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm0EfjK3rz0
