All signs point to yes.
That's The Hold Steady, on Conan O'Brien back in August, with the title song from their brilliant Stay Positive (which I can reveal will be, barring an act of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, my number one album pic in the upcoming Village Voice critic's poll).
Incidentally, they live in Brooklyn, in a certain shady dame's neighborhood, but of course that hasn't influenced my judgement about them or the record in any way.
Heard this bunch on the local indy station.
ReplyDeletePretty nice.
Whoa, this works! Thanks.

They live in Brooklyn now but they tell quite a bit about the Twin Cities where for some stunningly creative time they were stuck between two stations.
ReplyDeleteYou just like 'em because one of the guys in the band is wearing a beret.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteBut man, Conan looks like the Jolly Red Giant at the end there.

ReplyDeleteOther new music I've heard on the indy station:
ReplyDeleteRyan Bingham, Delta Spirit, Grace Potter, Rafael Shadique
Remember back when David Lee Roth said that rock critics liked Elvis Costello more than Van Halen because they all looked like EC?
ReplyDeleteI keed, I keed...
Nice stuff, but I'd like the guys to concentrate a little bit more on melody next time.
