With the recent release followup album “After the Disco,” I find myself ready to revisit the once-contested connection between Broken Bells and the bygone genre of disco.
The Winter Olympics are in full swing, bringing with them intense hockey games, crazy ski jumping and enticing rounds of speed skating. I’d argue the most eye-catching event, though, is figure skating.
