The Raconteurs
The cover of The Raconteurs' new album, 'Consolers of the Lonely', which was released everywhere today (March 25). The album's title has drawn some speculation, but it appears the name has been inspired by the US postal service. The phrase "consoler of the lonely" appears on a inscription on the south west corner of Washington DC's main post office, and was composed by American writer and educator Charles William Eliot.
