The Hold Steady…Almost Killed Me
I can’t stop listening to The Hold Steady. Their new album, Almost Killed Me (as in The Hold Steady Almost Killed Me… heh heh. That amuses me) is proving to be a perfect summer soundtrack. Yep, it’s the lead singer from Lifter Puller (and the bassist too but on guitar now). Of course, if you know that, you already know The Hold Steady. And if you don’t, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. (Oh boy. I really should never blog after midnight. I should be in bed right now.)
While you’re checking out their site (you ARE going to click that link up there, right?) listen to the mp3 for “The Swish.” You’ll be glad you did. Really. Okay, well if this isn’t your cup of tea, maybe you won’t be glad. But you never know until you try, yes?
Y’know, I was wishing for some new Cari music, just yesterday! Cool. Can’t wait to go home and click.

Ooh, the words haven’t even kicked in and already I’m loving this. Loving it! OK, now I’ve got lyrics…I don’t think I ever heard Lifter Puller, but I like this guy’s voice. Very scruffy rock. OK, so I need this CD.

I’ve got the new Hives and Wilco in rotation, and this fits right in there. Interesting vox, somewhere between Thurston Moore & Jonathan Richman. Love it.
Friends of yours, or just local?

We’ve been listening to this album almost non stop for a month in my house! I’m so happy to hear of someone else enjoying them as well!
