The Hold Steady are one of the few contemporary bands whom I really consider myself a fan of. While I don’t think their latest, Stay Positive, hits the same rarefied heights as Separation Sunday or Boys and Girls in America, it remains another impressive effort from one of the best and most divisive groups in music. My review of the new record appears in this week’s Village Voice. Yes, it includes a guide to writing Hold Steady mad-libs.
