Hi everyone I'm Martin from Ruth and Martin's Album Club. Each week we make someone listen to a great album that they've previously missed out on because they were doing something else. This week we made Jim Waterson from Buzzfeed listen to Almost Killed Me and you can read all about it here ramalbumclub.com/post/134530883744/week-48-almost-killed-me-by-the-hold-steadyHope you enjoy it, particularly the intro thanks Martin xx |

Its very very strange to see someone use the word "earnest" as an insult repeatedly

This was a great article, but reading about THS really makes me miss THS all the more. I saw a Dawes show over the weekend, and they played a song entitled "All Your Favorite Bands." The chorus of the track ends with a sort of secular blessing, "And may all your favorite bands stay together," and I got instantly depressed thinking about how long it had been since I'd seen my favorite band, and the fact that I don't know when I'm going to see them again...

Its very very strange to see someone use the word "earnest" as an insult repeatedly As the guy is a political journalist the constant repetition of the word "earnest" isn't just unjustified but also unprofessional. Let him keep his British Sea Power records. I'm quite happy with Born to Run and Almost Killed Me. |

What a douche! I have no time for buzzfeed or politics because I come from Derbyshire.
On another note, I really like the part where Martin shoots down all the people who think The Hold Steady are like Bruce Springsteen. I mean I don't have anything against Springsteen, but the two really do not compare.
