I've seen them twice and they were fun, but their music sounds like they are a "one trick pony."
Do you know if there is anything on "Stay Positive" that doesn't sound like their other discs?

No idea, Paulie, but I feel the same way about them. Their fans will think I'm nuts, but I get bored with them pretty quickly.

Looks like Web Sheriff didn't read the post or comments. The two tracks I posted are from their older albums and are hosted ***on the Hold Steady website***. I didn't post 'Stay Positive' or anything from it.

rich - sorry :-(, i'm the anonymous tipster from earlier who mentioned that tix were on sale. and then you are nice, and make a post about a band you aren't even that into in the first place... and this is what you get? oh man, well take care!

uh-oh Rich busted by the Web Sheriff, lol.
One of the best comments i've received from the Sheriff, actually thanking me for posting a stream for The Ranconteurs' album.

No sweat, anon. At least there's nothing here to actually get me into trouble!
PJ, that's hilarious. I bet you were among the few. I don't post streams if I can avoid it, as I think they're annoying.

I feel the same way about the Hold Steady, I can take about 30 minutes max of their music.
