“we’re gonna build something this summer. summer grant us all the power to drink on top of water towers.”

i should probably just change the title of this blog to “shit i like.”  it’s pretty much all i ever talk about here.

anyway, so i grabbed the new the hold steady album “stay positive” yesterday.  the hold steady are distinctively american american rock n’ roll.  i caught them live last summer at the intersection here in gr.  they’re one of those bands that is genuinely ecstatic to be on stage and doing what they love for a living.  a couple of friends of mine hooked them up with weed so we got to hang out with them before the show.  really nice guys, and killer pool players to boot.  plus, the keyboardist looks like super mario.  so there’s that.

from “constructive summer”

me and my friends are like
the drums on “lust for life”
we pound it out on floor toms
our psalms are all sing-a-long songs
