MINNESOTA MUSIC: Here comes The

MINNESOTA MUSIC: Here comes The Hold Steady, a Minnesota-born, Brooklyn-based band whose witty lyrics have been known to reference the Minnesota Twins. New York Press already has them in the "holy trinity" of Minnesota bands, along with The Replacements and Husker Du. Some Journey-rific lyrics:

she said my name is steve perry but people call me circuit city. i'm so well connected. my upc is dialed into the system. she said my name's neil schon but some people call me nina simone.

Meanwhile, here's the James Lileks remix of the Dean rant/yelp.
