Oh my god! It's a post about The Hold Steady!
I saw a link to this at Joe Posnanski's blog, which is probably my favorite blog ever, all things considered. Seriously, the fact that a guy this talented who obviously can make a good living writing is generous enough to give us these kinds of efforts for free is miraculous and awe-inspiring.
Anyway, I saw this interview with Craig Finn that is all about baseball and is really great. He's a huge fan of the Twins and not only knows his shit, he regales us with stories about Paul Westerberg that simply kick ass. Great times, and "Stay Positive" is unbelievable. I'm not sure that it tops "Boys and Girls" but it's pretty amazing for the most part. At least four or five of the songs are as good as anything they've done. I give it a 9.1 out of 10. (Boys and Girls I would give a 9.8 out of 10)
They are The Official Band of Heavy Soul. It's decidedly so.

Wow, I'm jacked to read this. Joe's blog is indeed fantastic.
As for Stay Positive: I'd put it at a 9, 9.1 as well. Fantastic stuff. Let's keep praying that THS comes back to Omaha soon!

Great series. A bit out of my league, but I’m learning stuff each step of the way. Can’t wait to get to it.
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith.
