The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady are a Brooklyn-based musical group, although the members have strong connections to the Minneapolis region of Minnesota—something that is frequently reflected in the group's lyrics. Frontman Craig Finn was previously vocalist for Twin Cities band Lifter Puller. Their first album Almost Killed Me (2004) was a sleeper hit among music critics, later appearing at #31 in the influential Pazz & Jop listing in New York's Village Voice. Some months later in May 2005, they were the first rock group to grace the Voice's front page in 15 years. The group's second album, Separation Sunday, was released later in the month. Their third album and Vagrant Records debut, Boys and Girls in America is expected to be released on October 3, 2006. Prior albums were released under the Frenchkiss Records imprint.
The title - Boys and Girls in America - refers to a line in Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel On the Road. On August 18th, 2006 the track 'Chips Ahoy' was released online as a free single on popular indie music site Pitchfork Media.The Hold Steady - Your Little Hoodrat Friend ( from Separation Sunday)

Fantastic Post!! Thanks for The Format!!!!
Hey, love your site and hav had my eyes opened to some great music thanks to yourself but i jus wanna point out that the electronica/ost post above at http://www.marcinu.box.net.pl/ has some dodgy white power/kkk stuff in the open dir! not exactly the kinda stuff anyone wants to see and as much as i love the site, please try to not link to such offensive shit in future!
essentially, it's an OPEN DIRECTORY. that means it's OPEN to whatever they want to post in their DIRECTORY. i wouldn't really be complainging about something that can be avoided by you not clicking on it
