Bruce Springsteen once said that the secret to good songwriting was striking a balance between the personal and the universal: Get specific with people and locations first before shading in the rest with the kinds of generalities that make your listener relate, and hopefully, feel something. Craig Finn -- leader of the rough-and-ready, Grammy-nominated outfit The Hold Steady -- has subscribed to this philosophy in spades, garnering a cult-like fandom over 20+ years. On critically-acclaimed albums like Separation Sunday and Boys & Girls In America, the band has wheeled-and-dealed jaw-dropping tales of overdoses, arrests, confessional debauchery, and post-party pathos on par with any binge-worthy crime drama. Yet, despite those circumstances, the most fervent fans of The Hold Steady often connect most with the undying optimism that lies within Finn's brash and bewildered characters -- many of which show up on multiple tracks. Recorded in front of a live audience at Pinwheel Records in Chicago, Craig spotlights a lyrical trick he learned from Paul Simon, the babysitter who schooled him on Led Zeppelin, and the intriguing plot of his next solo album, due in spring. Visit craigfinn.net and theholdsteady.net for news, social media, tour dates and more.

Steelers could (and should) be 7-2 in three weeks. They have a great chance for an extended winning streak. If they win this game, they can be 7-2. Tennessee isn't good. Green Bay also isn't doing well. Would we know at that point if the Steelers are good? This is 'separation Sunday' for Crowley.
A weekend to remember....wild comebacks and Matt Ryan's legacy....the refs make their presence known...The Jets throw one away..the playoffs are taking shape...Bill Belichick is checking out...

Pick up some tall cans and a fresh pack of smokes cause this week the Boys are getting grimy with The Hold Steady's second studio release, rock n' roll concept album Separation Sunday.

As listeners will know, A Positive Jam Season 2 host Shawn Westfall has called Separation Sunday our generation's The Wasteland, and so our final bonus episode of the season puts that to the test. We read T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland in a Craig Finn-inspired voice. We think and hope you will enjoy it as another lens on the wisdom of The Hold Steady. You can follow along here: https://poets.org/poem/waste-land This wraps up season 2. Get in touch with us on Twitter at @shawnwestfall, @mbrookstaylor, or @danielshortman, or @shortmanstudios. Email us at mail@shortmanstudios.com. And hold steady.
In our first of two bonus episodes for Season 2, we welcome Father Christian Raab, a Catholic Priest and scholar who also has a musical and Midwestern background, which gives him quite the perspective on Separation Sunday. We talk about beauty, man and God searching for each other, female mystics, the strings of baptism, other St. Theresas, and, somehow, Evelyn Waugh. Stay turned for our second and final bonus episode of Season 2 next week.
We're crashing the Easter mass, hair done up in broken glass, and despite what the mural says up on East 13th (which one?) we're going to walk on back. For the last track of Separation Sunday, we do one of our closest readings, wondering about video booths and redemption, amen cadences and calm and collected priests. Somehow we span from Wilco to Mighty Max to crying in the shower. But maybe as you hear this you'll hear us say we love you too. (Also, bonus episodes coming starting next week!)
"Crucifixion Cruise" is the briefest track on Separation Sunday, and arguably both the most forgettable and the biggest sign of concept album excess on the album. But! But there are some serious questions the song poses that we try to put our mouth around, like: What's the difference between a poem and a song? Why is it good that this is a concept album? Or is it good that it's a concept album? What do Simone Biles, Pink Floyd, Canto IV of the Wasteland, and the Avalanches have to do with Separation Sunday. Climb aboard, we think you're going to like the view.
Elevate yourself to another level, don't settle for average! Be best in class. You are an eagle so there should be no reason for you to be hanging with any chickens or pigeons. You are the bird of the sky and were born to fly high. Recognize who you are, spread your wings and take flight. Separate yourself form those that are not moving in your direction to greatness.

Everything is corroding, so we're hitting the road. Well, we never made it to Los Angeles, and Jackie O warned us off of Dallas, but on The Hold Steady's "Don't Let Me Explode", a doo wop dance across the country, we find ourselves talking about curveballs, Rage Against the Machine, things falling apart, and, most of all, the Upper Midwest. It's not the standard Separation Sunday track, but it may be worth more attention than seems at first listen.
For track 7 of Separation Sunday, "Multitude of Casualties", we hit a cruising velocity. We drove this episode like we stole it, but somehow avoided casualties. Instead we romped through Colorado's history, classic cult movies of the 70s and the 80s, and the importance of narrative shifts (or lack thereof).
There's maybe no better song to appreciate the Hold Steady than "Stevie Nix", track 6 on Separation Sunday. The song hits for the Hold Steady cycle, with hard rock, balladry, howling vocals, sharp lyrics, storytelling, shifting perspectives, and epic songwriting. To break it all down, we have Shawn Westfall, Mike Taylor, and Daniel Shvartsman on the call, as well as Kyle Undem, a special guest making his second appearance on A Positive Jam and repping the Twin Cities to explain why Profane Existence matters so much. Lawwwwd, to be a Hold Steady listener forever. We also have a special contest for this episode, with a chance to win a copy of either Separation Sunday or the Hold Steady's newest album, Open Door Policy. Listen to the intro or check out our twitter account, @shortmanstudios, for details!
Some songs they get slimy, and then they get slinky, and then they get funky. Some tracks feel like skips to some people and the best track in the band's repertoire to other people. Some songs act as a character's theme music and some reinforce stereotypes about the Holy Roman Emperor's namesakes. All of which is to say Charlemagne in Sweatpants is a song that spurs different sentiments. The fifth track on the Hold Steady's second, breakthrough album, Separation Sunday, this is a song that deserves special attention. To tackle it, we invite Bob Bland of the Bend & Scoop podcast - https://bendandscoop.com/ - to explain the glory of tramps and sweatpants, once and for all.
Comes off crunchy but tastes like something deeper: Banging Camp, track 4 on The Hold Steady's Separation Sunday, may evoke tents and summer fun, but there's a more sinister undercurrent. Breaking bread and giving thanks may not mean what you think it means, in other words. We break it all down and figure out why this river trip is more Styxian than it seems on first appearance.
The gateway drug to the Hold Steady. An entrant in the lost best-of-the 2000s Rhino compilation. A straight ahead pop-rock song with verses and choruses and refrains. A backing singer. An emotional gut punch. A study in narrative denial. And a fairly simple song to discuss. That's track 3 on Separation Sunday, the single "Little Hoodrat Friend." Shawn Westfall, Mike Taylor, and Daniel Shvartsman talk about why the song works, and why you don't have to dig too deep to figure it out.
Separation Sunday, the Hold Steady's second album and the subject of season 2 of A Positive Jam, kicks off with "Hornets! Hornets!", a track that shows both how much the band grew between the recording of their debut (Almost Killed Me) and Separation Sunday and how much they were staying the same. A fuller sound, lyrics with both call-backs and new settings, and songwriting that takes things up to another level. "Hornets! Hornets!" is as distinctive and classic as an album opener gets. Shawn Westfall, Mike Taylor, and Daniel Shvartsman break down all the good stuff, including a thorough Kate Bush analysis, the importance of organs to Craig Finn, and how the album's Catholic themes pop up in lines you might least expect.
Separation Sunday is many things, but it's hard to listen to the Hold Steady's breakthrough and not think of Catholicism, nor of Rock and Roll. As we lead into season 2 of A Positive Jam, covering Separation Sunday, we thought it would be fun to break down a highly subjective playlist of the best in Catholic (and catholic) Rock. Listen to this episode to hear how our three co-hosts - Shawn Westfall, Mike Taylor, and Daniel Shvartsman - view the canon of Catholic Rock. Check out the full playlist here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4sibmfkeyp6fVxJPK2EJWO And stay tuned for the first full episode of Season 2 on January 6th. Hold Steady, and happy holidays!
A Positive Jam is a podcast dedicated to breaking down great albums track by track. Our second season follows on our first, as we cover The Hold Steady's second album, the breakthrough Separation Sunday. Shawn Westfall, who joined us as a guest in season 1, will be leading our efforts for season 2, with Mike Taylor and Daniel Shvartsman as co-hosts. As with season 1, we will be covering each song in its own episode and featuring a number of guests throughout the season. We are looking for more audience interaction, so get in touch with us at mail@shortmanstudios.com or contact us on Twitter, @mbrookstaylor, @shawnwestfall, or @danielshortman. Separation Sunday showed a band rounding into form, growing in confidence, and taking a bite at the epic. They went from rough and under the radar to booming and the next big thing. In our intro episode, we talk about why this record matters, and hope to give you a taste of what's to come for season 2. Season 2 of A Positive Jam debuts with full episodes on January 6th and will be available on Spotify, Apple, Stitcher, Google Play, and wherever you get podcasts. We will have one pre-season episode coming out next week. Stay tuned and hold steady, this should be a fun one.

We finally have two teams, leading their division, all by themselves. Despite the declaration of Separation Sunday last week, it is still tight at the top and its still a mess in the Hama Division. And in the upsets of all upsets this week, the two-man-down Fighting No Logins of Justin beats a fully manned Nanomites lineup...and boy was their team owner upset. In NFL news, the guys talk about the Panthers, Vikings and Texans. Enjoy this week 10 wrap up.
The Charlottesville No Logins - logged in and served up a major setback to the Warriors. Meanwhile the Nanomites and Teal Ninjas continue to win...while the Privateers continue to lose. Mike declares next weekend SEPARATION SUNDAY...and further declares that Peyton Manning's career is just about over. Gary agrees and has some choice words for all of the 18 jersey owners in Indianapolis. It's week 9 in review, enjoy!
The gang is back from skipping a week (due to Gary being at work), to review weeks 7 and 8. The ChuckBusters are on a roll. Can they go from an easy weekly win to playing playoff spoilers? The Hama is still all tied up and Mike hates it. We're half way through the season and yes, everyone is still in contention for the post season. When will Separation Sunday finally get here?? All this and the guys oooh and ahhh over the performance of Drew Brees and Eli Manning. Enjoy!
In linking our struggles in faith with the rigid demands of gender, The Hold Steady’s 2005 album Separation Sunday offers a conversation about ethics and empathy as a new way of thinking through the politics of masculinity at the beginning of the 21st century.
The Hold Steady "Stevie Nix" (27.3 MB) from Separation Sunday Majestic Theatre Madison, WI July 10, 2009 One nice thing about Hold Steady is that they frequently pull out deep cuts from their first two albums, which were a little under the radar. Last time we saw them I recorded "Modesto Is Not That Sweet," an Australian bonus track from their first record; this time the highlight was probably this rollicking meditation on age from Separation Sunday, which they followed immediately with "Multitude of Casualties" and later with "How a Resurrection Really Feels." The showcase of older songs was certainly appreciated by the sell-out crowd, many of whom were probably also at last year's sold-out Stay Positive tour stop.
