holly halleluiah

like, her story across separation sunday and beyond.
and all the dialogue craig finn ascribes to her is pretty unforgettable.

Halleluliah & Charlemagne

from Hold Steady stuff. They're so well realised they might not even be fictional

- So much this.
  
  ThisTemporaryLife @GoatmeatMF | 24 Dec '13, 11:09 | X
  - I'm surprised
    
    Hold Steady weren't one of the first bands mentioned.
    
    I still think Larry Clark could make a good film out of Separation Sunday. There's probably other directors who'd do it better, but he was my first thought and I'm sticking to it.
    
    GoatmeatMF @ThisTemporaryLife | 24 Dec '13, 11:22 | X
    - They're the first band I thought of.
      
      I mean, Lifter Puller, in hindsight, was almost a front for Craig Finn's undying love of just making songs about people, and that was pretty much all Separation Sunday was too.
      
      Craig Finn does it better than almost anybody, because he just GOES FOR IT.

        On Xmas day the year it was released. Might put it on today, as a story time cd for the kids.
