We interrupt these recaps to bring you ... a Hold Steady video. For "Stuck Between Stations," the only song on Boys and Girls in America that I actually like.
Explain to me how so many New Yorkers really dig the Hold Steady when clearly, the only way to experience the Hold Steady (particularly this record) is via a car stereo? Watching local stations go by on the 2, A, or 4 isn't quite like using the GIRI (Gun It & Run It) Method in Hutto, Texas. ...or suburban New Jersey. ...oh wait. Long Island. I think I just answered my own question.
Wow, how could that be the only song you like on that record? If you like that, then at the very least you should also like "Hot Soft Light," in my opinion. Of course, I love the whole thing. And live in NYC. It's true that the best listen I had was when I rented a car and drove to see a friend in Pennsylvania.
The Rich Girls Are Weeping is curated by super best friends Cindy Hotpoint & Pinkie Von Bloom. (And yes, they took the name from the Brian Eno song "Cindy Tells Me.") They formerly lived in Austin, Texas but are now based in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
Almost all of the content contained herein is dependent the vagaries of your hostess' weird tastes and whatever they're really into these days. As such, The Rich Girls Are Weeping does not focus as strongly on flavor-of-the-instant acts as some mp3 blogs; however, if you are in a band or with artist or label management and would like to send promotional materials to Cindy and Pinkie, drop an email to elegantfaker AT gmail DOT com. (NB: We receive a lot of email -- please don't fret if we don't get back with you right away! Urgent messages & mashnotes can be directed to cindy.hotpoint AT gmail DOT com)
