Hold Steady - Stay Positive

Lame. I have no idea what people see in this. Bland rock and roll with a singer that sounds like Springsteen and slight stylistic nods to mid-period R.E.M. They don’t sound like they care about their listeners. Lyrics uninteresting. Blah.

Is it pooping the party to ask “what’s the point of the vodka in vodka sauce?” when it’s flavorless, and all the actual alcohol cooks away?

From keithgessen’s “faq”: … Anyway, I thought: If someone ever accuses me of having bloodied my sock with ketchup, I’ll start a blog like Curt Schilling did. Someone accused you of that?
