They Can Make You Like Them

To combat piracy (guilty as charged on this one) The Hold Steady are pushing up the digital release of Stay Positive nearly a month. The album, as I reviewed it, will be available on iTunes tomorrow (it's already streaming on their MySpace). But wait, there's more! To reward those of you who have been patiently waiting, Craig Finn and gang have a special treat for you. You'll be able to purchase a special edition disc that will contain an additional three unreleased songs: "Ask Her for Aderall," "Cheyenne Sunrise" and "Two Handed Handshake." If the leaked material is an early indication of how these new songs are gonna sound, I just might explode.
