The songs came packaged with plenty of backstories, too—at least when Westerberg delivered his between-song banter with a straight face. Before “I Will Dare,” he said it was “dedicated to anyone who was dragged here tonight against their will. Maybe someone told you ‘Get out of the house, it’ll do you some good.’ This song’s for you, and for me.”

Wait for it. . . wait for it. . . totally worth it, right?

Is it me or is this Mates of State cover of I Will Dare really not good?

And I even like the Mates of State.

Also, there is a new poll on whether or not Trumpet Clip stinks.

He talks a lot about the ‘Mats in this one. It’s weird because I’ve been listening to The Hold Steady for ages, but I saw them a few weeks ago for the first time and now I am in the process of getting a teenybopper crush on Craig Finn.

And here, here he talks about how I Will Dare is his favorite ‘Mats song. And can you hear my heart go pitter pat?

My buddy Tito just alerted me to the fact that Captain’s Dead has posted a radio show Our Man Paul did back in 1996. Looking at the list of songs, it’s pretty heavy on the Eventually, but it has I Will Dare so it’s all good, right? You can download the songs from Captain’s Dead.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I have an awfully hard time writing I Will Dare instead of iwilldare.com. It’s like second-nature at this point. Sad.

No clue when this was (aside from Slim era ‘Mats), or where. Any ideas?
