Stay Positive : The Hold Steady

Iv only listened to the new album twice BUT that is irrelevant right now. All you really need to know is that this album may be the most important collection of songs you need to buy this summer, maybe this year! I will spin it endlessly, that much i know for sure but am i overstating the case a little bit here? I totally believe that these guys deserve credit as one of the very best bands on the planet right now, they have kept doing their thing for 4 albums now, not changing anything too drastically, just getting better and more adventurous with each release. I won't highlight songs, wax lyrical about melodies and guitar solos (there is one solo that could be Jimmy Page) because it is all awesome. Trust me!

Memory Lane Monday no.5



I could be tempted to blog today about my happy memories of a spine that was not wrecked and twisted but i shall resist because the last 24 hours have seen a small improvement. This film was on tv yesterday and despite the fact that it was early in the day and was heavily edited i still appreciated Chevy Chase and his brilliance. I love this guy, he is just one of the great comedy memories of my younger years, i loved everything he appeared in, this film perhaps more than any of his others! I wonder has he influenced anyone in "christian ministry' with wonderful moments like this?
