Monday Morning Quarterback #3

The Hold Steady - One For The Cutters
Last night I listed to the latest Sound Opinions Podcast with guests The Hold Steady.  They have been one of my favorite bands for a few years now since the release of Boys And Girls of America.  That album ended up at the top of my 2006 album list.  Also, as thy talk about in the podcast, you become a believer in them once you see their live show.  It is a beer soaked, joyous romp.  

I was lucky enough to first hear One For The Cutters at their live show over a year ago now.  As soon as I heard the term 'Townies' come from Craig's mouth, it took me back to my College years at Miami University.  Located in a little farm town, there was a huge class difference between the students and the kids who grew up there.  And I swear this biopic tale took place my Sophomore year.  Simple lines about blaring music out of car windows and dumpsters behind townie bars is a virtual tour of Oxford, Ohio.
