Here's the direct link to the podcast: cdn3.libsyn.com/bigdaddydrew/Tad.mp3?nvb=20090722103924&nva=20090723104924&t=013e8b53019d33dbd5d8bThe Deadspin link is here: deadspin.com/5320128/get-hammered--tad-kubler-of-the-hold-steady-on-the-deadcastAlso, here's a "summary" of the interview from the Deadspin page, if you're at work and can't listen. "his week's Deadcast guest is Hold Steady guitarist Tad Kubler (Listen here, iTunes here.) DOUBLE WHISKY COKE NO ICE. I ask Tad all the tough questions, and submit him to a deadly gauntlet of asskissing, the likes of which he may never recover from. I also ask him questions from Deadspin readers, and he was nice enough to answer all of them with honesty and good humor. Is the band working on a new album? YES! Does he still drink? NO! Because he almost died from pancreatitis! RAWK Do double guitars serve any other purpose than to look awesome on stage? YES! Was the song "Slapped Actress" written to inspire Tony Parker? NO! Is he a Packer fan? YES! FUCK HIM! Has he ever trashed a hotel room? SEVERAL! What the fuck is the deal with Ybor City? NO ONE KNOWS! How does Craig Finn keep his glasses on while going bonkers on stage? HE DOESN'T! HE LOSES THEM! MAYBE HE SHOULD GET LASIK! Does he watch True Blood strictly for the tits and ass? YES! Does he work harder on stage than the keyboardist? FUCK AND YES! When's the last time the band got tits flashed at them? IN NEBRASKA! Will you, the listener, be disappointed when "Constructive Summer" fades out at the top of the podcast and a civilized conversation takes its place? YES! This week's Deadcast is available for your listening pleasure right here. You can also find the new Deadcast in the iTunes Music Store here. The Hold Steady is back on the road this Friday in Jersey, along with numerous festival dates the rest of the summer, and they have gigs lined up in Alaska and Canada for the fall. Full itinerary here." |

I don't remember anyone flashing in Omaha. I hope it wasn't me.

I don't remember anyone flashing in Omaha. I hope it wasn't me. I just had the same exact thought. I wish I'd been active on the boards before that show! |

I enjoyed the interview very much but the interviewer really annoyed the shit out of me.

I had fun at that show. I misbehaved.  |

It would be nice if the fawning interviewer knew how to pronounce "homage."

Hearing about Craig's replacement glasses reminded me of this: Last summer when the Hold Steady played the Main Room in July the Loved Ones opened. Near the end of the show the Loved Ones came back on stage. One of the Loved Ones went to give Craig a high five, but Craig didn't see it coming and the aforementioned Loved One slapped Craig's glasses off his face. Craig didn't even seem surprised.

I have family in Omaha and met up with an old high school friend for the show - I went to high school in Bellevue, NE. I LOVE the Slowdown. Like I said - I totally wish I had been active on the boards back then, I was still just a lurker. |

Sadly for them, I believe it was my friend Rick. That was, without a doubt, the best rock concert I have ever been to. Their show at the Slowdown was fantastic as well, but their one (and I believe only) show at the Sokol was off the damn chain. Quite literally one of the five most fun days of my life. |

Now, I'm really sad I didn't make it to that show. I can imagine how great it would have been to see them there. |
