The Hold Steady - First Night

when they kiss they spit white noise

Craig Finnn's voice never fails to stir up all kinds of feelings. 

I thought I wouldn't be able to make the move from Lifter Puller to The Hold Steady because of the way every Hold Steady song I'd heard before reminded me of Springsteen. But Shane convinced me to take that chance. And I'm glad I did. 

I accidentally found a website for you. It hasn't been updated in a few years but there's loads of good stuff on there for listening and reading and general perusing. Enjoy.

Because Midway Still Aren't Coming Back

BECAUSE MIDWAY STILL AREN'T COMING BACK...

...is about indie bands. Proper indie bands from the late 1980s and early 1990s. When indie band were real indie bands, and when they released their music on big lumps of vinyl; like God intended.

This page, blog, whatever is dedicated to remembering the unremembered bands, the ones that almost made it, the ones that noone has ever heard of and the ones who put out loads of records and faded from view; because for every Pixies, there's a Bob; for every Stone Roses, there's a Family Cat.

I've been collecting old vinyl for as long as I can remember, any mp3 on here is copied (using science and magic) from the original vinyl. Music like it should be.

As much as possible is rare, some is practically unique, most of it will only be remembered by 35 year-old ex-indie kids who spent too much time at indie clubs in the early 1990s and reading the NME from cover to cover.

OK, one more video.

The Queers - (Yummy Yummy) Punk Rock Girls

Or something.
