Music You'd Better Listen To - The Hold Steady - Citrus Website / Myspace /...

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

The Hold Steady - Citrus

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

Bah. How have I *not* riffed on these guys yet? I think I kept promising to, but kept getting distracted.

I might have mentioned yesterday that my buddy from Toronto was in town (come to think of it, I did, ‘cuz I explained that I played some Abdominal for him), and he’s my friend who is similarly in love with The Hold Steady’s music.

Come to think of it, this track is only representative of Craig Finn’s lyrics, and I guess a little bit of his odd singing voice. It’s not at all like their normal stuff. Maybe I’ll post that tomorrow.

Yay! The line we were jokingly re-writing on the bus the other day is coming up.

“Lost in fog and love and faithless fear / I’ve caught fishes that made Judas reach for beer”

Anyway, the band is just… absurdly emotive, and reminiscent of everything I love about early Springsteen.
