For Tokyo Police Club, it was nearly long enough for seven songs - the seven succinct songs that made up their career-launching A Lesson in Crime, an EP from 2006 that took the young Toronto indie rockers touring around the world and plopped them on the pages of Rolling Stone magazine, on the stages of Coachella and Glastonbury, and in front of the cameras of Late Show With David Letterman. No band had done as much in such a small space of time, ticking within the fame constraints as set out by Andy Warhol. From Print Edition, 13/05/08
