I’m a huge fan of the last Hold Steady album, Separation Sunday, and I’ve spent about six months (not consecutively) earwormed with “Your Little Hoodrat Friend,” so I’d be really remiss if I failed to note that there’s a new Hold Steady album coming out Tuesday. There’s also a nice article about the band in today’s New York Times.
I have to say, from the photos with the Times article, they could hardly look less like rock stars. Great band, though, and I’m really looking forward to the new album.
New Killers album, too.
Yeah, I’m planning to hit iTunes for both of those. Despite Rolling Stone‘s vicious panning of the Killers record.
google…google…ouch.
I dig “When you were young” a lot more than the reviewer, but their second set on SNL didn’t do anything to me. That might have something to do with the fact that Brandon Flowers can’t actually sing, but it’s worrisome.
Hunh. Looks like a new Decemberists soon, too.
