yeah, jay ryan's actually my favorite too. unfortunately, i'm jeff.

i know this probably isn't a very good first post, but i'd be willing to pay if someone could pick up shake the sheets and tyranny for me. i had to miss the chicago show because of a visit from my family. thanks.

yeah, there are some videos on youtube of a show that they played in april. josh is back and they kept the new guitar player too. whoever is going to this show should give a report on it's awesomeness. i've been listening to the velvet teen pretty much nonstop for the past 2 weeks. also, any word on the chicago ghost show? i'm assuming it'll be at reggie's, but i just want some sort of confirmation.

i got to this show super early because the riv sucks, so i figured i might as well be close since it sounds like shit everywhere in the building. i was surrounded by hold steady superfans, who are actually kind of annoying too, but i had a great time anyway. i did notice a lot of douchebags as i was walking out, though. craig finn is the ultimate nerd turned rockstar and one of the best frontmen in music. i wasn't overly impressed by the truckers, but i think that's more because i'm not all that familiar with their music. they did play carl perkin's cadillac, though, and i love that song.

i'm actually in the middle of this book right now, i think i'm going to wait until i finish it before getting the album. i know this is supposed to be mccarthy's best, but i've only read the later books (the road and no country) and so far, i think i like them better.

awesome, thanks!

is there anyway this could be reuploaded? the link doesn't seem to work anymore.

alkaline trio are on tour then, so it won't be any of them. it would be very cool if it was brendan.

i know there are some chicago people on this board, so, i thought this might be a good place to ask. i just bought my ticket and the lineup is chuck, ben, tim, sundowner, and special guest. any ideas on who the special guest is? i know against me is in town the same night, so maybe tom gabel? any ideas?

i'm watching the engine down dvd. so good. this band was such a force live. the show in chicago on the farewell tour is still the best show i've ever been to. the documentary is a very good watch too. if you had any interest at all in this band, i suggest picking this up.

I'm totally at the okkervil river show.

i received mine today. thanks alex from minnesota! the packaging is very cool. way better than mine. there's also a lot of stuff on there that i haven't heard, so i'm excited to listen to it. thanks again!

Not to be a total dick or anything, but isn't it "The Old Timer's 2x4", not "The Old-Timer is 2x4"?

i don't have any extras, but you could just wait and see them the next night at belmont arts and music.

i've never actually watched singles, but the soundtrack is awesome.
