web radio: new Hold Steady and more

For good photos of the Rosie Thomas and Ester Drang show, head over to Smalld Music Photography. Actually, for great photos of shows in general. By a fellow Edinburghian. If that's the term.


I was ecstatic upon finding the archives of in-studio appearances on Minnesota Public Radio's 89.3 The Current. Besides cd-quality web radio, The Current also archives performances, including a recent set by the Hold Steady (streaming). Two of their three songs are new, and awesome. "Stuck Between Stations" blew me away.

Check the full list, hear sets from Feist, The National, Andrew Bird, The Shins and a million more.
