"A great American philosopher named D. Boon once said 'our band could be your life.' I think that is true. But 'your life could be our band' is also a true statement. I know this because we have lived it. These are our lives. These are your lives. This is our fourth record. Stay Positive."

From the Archive - Jim White: the blues ain't so bad no more
i'm really excited now
i think i shall listen to them solely for the rest of the day
Me too!
I was listening to Boys and Girls in America for the first time in a while the other day, whilst drunk and being driven home, incredibly loudly, and I realised it's one of my favourite albums ever, even though it's incredibly basic and raucous and against every prog bone in my body.
GIDEON'S GONNA POP ME FROM A PRINGLES CAN
My brother took a wee in a pringles can once
but there was so much wee it started to overflow, and he couldn't stop himself. It was left to me to comment that once you pop, you can't stop. I'm not sure if I'm proud of that or not.
craig finn could probably shoehorn this tale into a new song
dude
it's "Gideon's got a pipe made from a pringles can"!
But I admire your enthusiasm. And I hope the new one turns out to be album of the year.
can't wait
for this. They're one of the bands now where you set aside the day where the album comes out so you can spend the rest of the day listening it
pah!
the hold steady are ALL ABOUT enthusiasm. that's why he gets away with just manically shouting a lot of the time.
(good cover, right?)
yeah
speaking of good covers, if this is the album cover then I REALLY like it:

I don't like this band at all.

Springsteen wants his b-sides back.
There's some room in those dates for at least one london show
I'd definitely go and see them again. Great live band.
Same here.
They leave me totally cold.
i think you'll find it was Mike Watt who wrote
history lesson part II.
