TAG: BROOKLYN

The last few Hold Steady records haven't really hit with me, but Craig's solo stuff has been pretty consistently decent.

All posts in August will be covers

I’m not sure that this version is better than the Atom & His Package version, but it's pretty great.

Anything on Backwoodz Studios gets an auto-listen from me. It doesn’t all hit, but enough does that I always give it a try.

This song is from the band’s great Nervous Energies set. Normally, this song is played on keys rather than guitar; the keys version (the regular version) can be found on their album “Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Is The Golden Ghost.”

I am currently engaged in a campaign to completely overplay and thus ruin this song/band for myself.

Pigs - Scrum

One of you guys is is Unsane? No Shit. I’d never have guessed.

Three things really make this song: the accordion, xylophone, and Laura Stevenson’s voice. I do really like this song, but I can’t get through the entire album. Everything isn’t as good as The Healthy One.
