Dave Matthews! Why do you keep making it so hard to hate you? You signed My Morning Jacket, reissued Exile in Guyville, put out In Rainbows, and now this.

Trying to make me open my mind to the idea that the lines between "good" and "bad" music and "indie" and "mainstream" are blurry? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME GROW UP, DAVE MATTHEWS? NOOOOO! So, um, yeah. Thought the Hold Steady opening for Counting Crows was weird? Well, Craig Finn and the boys will be supporting Dave Matthews Band on six dates this June, right when they get back to the States after touring with Counting Crows in England. Burgettstown, Pennsylvnia won't know what hit it. The Hold Steady are also touring the States in late March and early April, in support of the documentary/live album A Positive Rage, out April 7 on Vagrant Records in the U.S. (and in Europe on Rough Trade on April 6). read more
