my take: good for them but...wtf?

exactly what i thought just as i was hitting "1 reply."

[G.rex]

This could be great for Vagrant. As for the Hold Steady, I'm hoping their plan was to lose as many hipster fans as possible, because otherwise this really makes no sense to me. Either way, Craig Finn is an absolute genius.

[trustmeimokay]

Whoa.

That's news.

I fucking love this band.

I fucking love Vagrant.

But they don't mix.

[Jonas900]

i saw this band with the Get up kids and i really thought they sucked...very amateur sounding. but pitchfork seems to sweat em so i want to hear them on record...maybe it was just an off night or something

[JunkBondTrader]

Separation Sunday is the fucking shit. The record is so good. I love "The Cattle and the Creeping Things" awesome fucking song.

[shagelific]

its the perfect match, they suck and vagrant sucks.

[anthony_jr]

ouch.

[Brooklyn Kid]

its the perfect match, they suck and vagrant sucks.

but you like the starting line, so your opinion is null and void.

[Snails]

haha wow

[Snails]

but you like the starting line, so your opinion is null and void.
uh, no. go fuck yourself.

[applestoandrew]

indiesnobrie is going to go gonad's about this

this is... odd?

but gotta love the hold steady, represent mn baby

[Brooklyn Kid]

uh, no. go fuck yourself.

nah.

[+adamo/videos__]

lol @ some of the replies.

[PomonaForEmpusa]

am i the only one who thinks this a fitting on both parts?

[TomCantSlowDown]

am i the only one who thinks this a fitting on both parts?

i didn't at first, but the pitchfork article made a good point that paul westerberg put out several albums with vagrant and the replacements are definitely one of the hold steady's biggest influences. so yeah... it makes sense.

and to many of the people on this thread...

i realize who my audience is here.... the majority of kids on this website are zit-faced 15 year olds who are only interested in hearing music about tearing out the eyes of girls who don't find them attractive, but show a little respect for what the hold steady has done, even if it's not your personal preference in music.

no band has ever so mastefully mixed the street poetry of bruce springsteen, the hard riff rock of led zepellin, and the drunken self deprication of the replacements with such unique delivery.

[Snails]

nah.
yes. thanks.

[Jim Morgan]

didnt really care for this band when i saw them with TGUK.

[TomCantSlowDown]

didnt really care for this band when i saw them with TGUK.

oh course you didn't. you've got a for felix avatar and NFG in your username, you pop punk cheeseball.

[PaperclipAnemia]

great band.

[leatherface]

but you like the starting line, so your opinion is null and void.


LMAO! and 2nded

[dillinisgood]

ive never even heard this band but when i hear that pitchfork is in the equation Im willing to bet its some pretentious bullshit.

[mogwaifearsatan]

soooo random... but this band kicks

true f'ing story

[Signals Corrupted]

i guess it no longer burns to be broke? good for them i guess, i just want to see them tour and put out another great album

[LPMagic]

It makes sense to me. :shrug:

- Jeff

[applestoandrew]

freaking, duh. imamoron

paul west and mary lucia rule the twin citys

[we are cured]

saw them with tguk and i thought they were good. and that bruce springsteen reference above, i thought the same thing when i saw them.

moreso than labels like drive-thru or victory, vagrant has a more diverse collection of music.

[shagelific]

but you like the starting line, so your opinion is null and void.

hahaha, you think i like the starting line? what an idiot over here.

[Co and Ca]

Vagrant owns sucka!

you couldn't be further from the truth. i haven't heard much from the hold steady, but i absolutely love craig finn's old projects (lifter puller, the brokerdealer). give this guy a chance.

yea......youre a fucking piece of shit.

Pitchforks Music Taste>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>your music taste and you

[LilRyan732]

Haha, this is the closest Pitchfork gets to the "scene".

[handrawn]

i didn't really like them when i saw them but i can understand why people might. i can see them fitting with vagrant though

[Brooklyn Kid]

hahaha, you think i like the starting line? what an idiot over here.


lemme guess...you chose that avatar as a "joke" .....:tool:

[mogwaifearsatan]

Haha, this is the closest Pitchfork gets to the "scene".

No, they love The Blood Brothers over there. Check the reviews for BPIB and Crimes. Read their P!ATD review though... they seriously rip that band apart the way they deserve.
