Why are people who insist on purchasing physical music "luddites"? We aren't people who disregard album art and liner notes philistines?
ANYWAY. The Hold Steady are probably my favorite "standard" rock band working today. "Stay Positive" the track is wonderful, self-referential, and defines the group's message (to me) as concisely as possible.
Or, I suppose, I could just say "WOOOOOOO!"
