I would argue that it was my inability to hate the Hold Steady, being 17 and Catholic in 2006, that gives me the perspective needed to achieve a hatred that is fuller and more pure.

Hard to imagine a more instantaneous way to lose my interest in music than it being described as "lyrically dense storytelling".

The mid-aughts were a wild fucking time of never reading a book but valuing appearing to have read books, which is what The Decemberists were all about.

Naming your salvation-seeking iterant sex worker main character Holly, short for Hallelujah, is some peak dumb guy shit, and that album was top five of the year for Pitchfork.
Gahdamn this was on point

Ha, amen to that.
Spoken as a Decemberists fan, of course, and only an intermittent reader of books.

Listened to their music, read answers to questions on quora, saw a couple of documentaries about the band, as well as interviews with Paul. It's not uncommon for me to go through phases where something gets extra attention, like a game, a band, a genre of movies, a sport, or something like that.
