Hold Steady Frontman Takes Over WTMD at 4 p.m. Friday, June 27

"Everyone's a critic and most people are DJs," lead singer Craig Finn exclaimed on The Hold Steady's 2004 debut album Almost Killed Me.

Craig has an opportunity to showcase his own DJ skills when he stops by the WTMD studios on Friday afternoon. He'll put together a playlist of personal favorites a few hours before his band takes the stage for an all-ages show at Ram's Head Live in support of their forthcoming album Stay Positive.

Be sure to tune in to 89.7 FM (or listen online) at 4 p.m. Friday, June 27, to hear the voice of The Hold Steady take over the airwaves at WTMD.

In the interim, here's The Hold Steady's "Chips Ahoy!" video from the 2006 album Boys and Girls in America.

An Aerial G.Love Assault on LA

Garrett Dutton's been writing some memorable peace anthems of late. One of my favorites is "Love" on our live CD, "Morning, Noon and Night." He's got another one that appears on his new one, Superhero Brother- which is out tomorrow- called "Peace, Love and Happiness."

Apparently, G. Love got inspiration from a trip to Rio De Jenario's favela's. But, it looks like he didn't take the helicopters THAT far south for the song's video. Check out his aerial serenade of Los Angles.
