Nebraska pop kids Tilly & the Wall seem like fun-loving, carefree people. They’ve got glockenspiels. They’ve got a designated tap dancer for their shows. They’re all great friends. But they write songs that, under the guise of sweet lovesick ditties, are actually a goldmine of practical help for everyday life. So, if this tour doesn’t pan out, they might have alluring futures in the home improvement or customer support industries:

 Problem #1: The ecstasy’s wearing off and you’re fucking BEAT.
Solution from “Nights of the Living Dead”: Pass out on your neighbor’s lawn.

 Problem #2: They didn’t have the first season of The Wire in at Blockbuster.
Solution from “Brave Day”: Predict and plan your funeral.

 Problem #3: Best friend drowning in the ocean.
Solution from “Reckless”: Get drunk and don’t worry about it.
