This isn't breaking news or anything, because Pitchfork had the exclusive a couple weeks ago. But I love this track, so I thought I'd spread the love.
(I was reminded of its brilliance the other day, when Pitchfork posted a story about the Hold Steady's new social networking site. Dibs on the handle LittleHoodratFriend1979, LOL!)
Go Minnesota-bred rock 'n' roll! Woo!
You can pre-order the Hold Steady's new record Boys & Girls In America from Amazon.
It's out October 3.
uhh... really?
Posted by: pull_the_plug at September 5, 2006 12:07 PMI'm ridiculously excited for this album. Oct. 3 can't come fast enough.
Posted by: Matt at September 5, 2006 5:54 PMuh, they kind of are terrible. reminds me of FUEL era frank black, sans talent...keep this one away, its not good.
Posted by: that's not acceptable at September 7, 2006 1:07 PMI really don't understand why people don't like this song. It's so rockin'! And man, frank black hasn't done that much worth listening to since his first self-titled album.
Posted by: Jeff at September 7, 2006 2:29 PMwhy does this band get so much love? sounds like frat bar room rock. so terrible and the lyrics are NOT THAT GOOD
it's really cheesy
Posted by: why at September 11, 2006 9:09 AMFrank Black hasn't done anything good since his first solo album? SERIOUSLY? OK... At least we can agree on THS!
I'm actually avoiding listening to anything from the new album till I pick it up in the store. I'm anal like that.
Posted by: Andy at September 12, 2006 10:19 PMMaybe that was a bit extreme, his last couple discs weren't bad. But yes, the Hold Steady is far more interesting than a lot of what's out there at the moment.
