So while we&#8217;d happily categorise ourselves as fans of The Hold Steady, it doesn&#8217;t mean we&#8217;re blindly loyal to everything they do. Take frontman Craig Finn&#8217;s recent debut album Clear Heart Full Eyes. It&#8217;s not an essential record by any means. Oh, it&#8217;s good, but definitely not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=extremelisteningmode.com&#038;blog=3283337&#038;post=3383&#038;subd=extremelisteningmode&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
