And Back with some Hold Steady


Ok. All the end of terrm shit and some holiday, time to get posting. To kick things off, today sees the official release of The Hold Steady's newie, Stay Positive. Having had a week on inertia with the old ipod firmly in ear, my digital advance copy has been well listened to and its a good 'un. Perhaps the outstanding track is Lord, I'm Discouraged? The label have asked folk not to post anything, though you could try here; you can hear samples and some observations from the band here.

As a bonus anyway, here's an acoustic live version of a fave from Boys and Girls in America:

mp3 The Hold Steady: Chips Ahoy (live acoustic)

And, from the movie I'm Not There, a Dylan cover:

mp3 The Hold Steady: Can I Please Crawl Through Your Window?
