The Hold Steady

I've listened to it a lot this week.  Even the bonus tracks are great.

If she asks just tell her that we opened for the Stones!

Some things seem much harder
Other things stay soft

Out January 13.  



I'm very excited for this, I've got a copy of the demos and they're excellent.  A nice little departure from tickling the ivory in THS.

Seeing them on their re-arranged date on Wednesday 19 December in London.  I promise to have a drink (or two) on your behalf, K.

I'm sure you're already on it, but Franz has a website with his solo stuff thereon:

Franz's album sounds, well, interesting to say the least!

Damn....damn..

Hey DB, will you be in the UK that early? Couldn't remember the exact dates? That would be a show for you. Maybe run into Mark in the loo again?

Haha, not in the UK until the 23rd unfortunately.

Nice.  Seeing them next week - should be good.

[The DARK]

I now really wish I had caught these guys when they were down here...but I don't have a fake ID...

Great pics, moemoe!  It's an interesting pairing, to be sure.  I caught the Halloween show at the Ryman - good times!

My brother was at that show.  He confirms good times.

Aw, cool.  Closing with Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love" is never a bad idea!   ;)

Wow.  You have now fully confirmed that I am loser for not telling my wife to keep quiet while I drove 12 hours north to attend this show with my bro.

I listened to them for the first time last week.  For one reason or another, I hadn't paid attention to all the talk on here, but I read a review that I really liked so I downloaded Stay Positive.  That was the only thing I listened to the entire day.  I bet I listened to it a dozen times.  I feel like I've been missing out.

You should listen to Boys and Girls in America next...it's one of my favorite albums ever. You won't be disappointed.
