On The Hold Steady Play "The Weekenders" On Letterman, Ben Ratliff Pretends He's Craig Finn

i kind of agree, but really i think only Craig Finn is actually from the Twin Cities (or Edina anyway)

On A Recent History of Ironic Exclamations for Chuck Klosterman

Paul may have been employing irony in Galations, but not with an exclamation point (since they didn't exist for another 1400 years or so... i'm guessing he probably used ALL CAPS)

On Old Christian Videos: Amy Grant's "Lead Me On"

re: the Pixies, Black Francis has often said he was heavily influenced by the guy often called the father of CCM, Larry Norman... "I dressed like him, I looked like him, he was my total idol." The title of Come On Pilgrim was taken from one of Larry's lyrics.

as far as the Amy Grant album, i'd say The Turning by Leslie/Sam Phillips is better (and also from 1988 i think?)
