Lifter Puller Now Relevant Outside of Minnesota Too


LifterPuller

OK OK. So, they didn’t really need proof. But let’s be real. You don’t have to admit it. We’re willing to bet we’ve known a good few Hold Steady fans in our day who threw around silly words like “seminal” in relation to Lifter Puller with earnest intentions of actually listening to their music, only to find out all of their albums were out of print. Well, for these people we have a deal. Put a once a month limit on the word seminal and we’ll reissue Lifter Puller’s entirely catalogue online. In this scenario, by “we” we mean online music retailer Orchard and by stop overusing seminal we mean stop overusing seminal. Seriously. Also, there is a LP book coming out that Finn and author Jessica Hopper put together entitled Lifter Puller vs. the End Of. With that and the Klosterman brogasm, Finn seems to have his hand in a lot of literary pots. And we all know literary pot is the best kind of pot. Honestly though, check out the albums next month. They’re totally good and weird and totally worth it. (Via: P4K)

The Hold Steady Announce 2009 US Tour


You either love their anthemic, E Street Band brand of rock ‘n’ roll or you loathe them as the world’s luckiest bar band (with great lyrics mind you). Either way, chances are The Hold Steady will be making a stop at a town near you. So pull out your ironic (or iconic) Bruce Springsteen t-shirt and let the debate begin.
