i've neglected this little beauty.
i keep writing in my livejournal about music. mistake. i've just been so busy and so full of the hold steady.
i'll transfer some writings soon. right now i'm reading every interview
i can find with craig finn et al because i will be interviewing one or
more members of THS very soon for tiny mix tapes.
oh-em-gee, etc.
here's my favorite thing that i've found so far:
JH--What is wrong with the indie music scene?
CF--Kids who sit on the floor during shows. I seriously will drop a beer bottle on your head if you do this. And I am a nice person. Anything that precludes fun or humor. Bands with matching outfits suck as a rule. Anything that puts style before substance. 80s new wave revival makes me embarrassed for the people taking part. Any good band has some element of danger in them. A band without a sense of danger is about the worst thing in the world. That said, danger comes a lot of different ways, and I see danger in Cat Power and Belle & Sebastian and not in the Hives/Vines/etc.
WORD UP.
that being said, listen to this album. it won't save you, but it'll help.
