The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

how cool is that?!?

mattramone (June 4, 2012)

I love this dude but he needs to stop singing like Meatloaf. Yeesh.

killtaker (June 4, 2012)

Why didn't he just stay with the Hold Steady?

Babrook (June 4, 2012)

I think there was some drama.

killtaker (June 4, 2012)

I can't really get into this solo stuff.

eatbicycles (June 4, 2012)

He's at least as good a writer as Craig, probably better. I think his solo stuff is some of the most interesting stuff being released.

Because the Hold Steady sucks. The question you meant to ask here was, "Why didn't he just stay with World Inferno?" ...... the answer to which is obviously, there's no money in the inferno.

eatbicycles (June 4, 2012)

I think he's already been on this tour for like a month. Maybe just eastern europe so far.

Wow! News about Ukraine! You have no clue how exciting this is (since I'm from Ukraine)

I meant I'm IN Ukraine, not from Ukraine.

canwerecover (June 5, 2012)

That's cool as fuck. I'm from, and I'm IN Ukraine.

goodbye_kid (June 5, 2012)

I'm the coolest. I played with Franz in Malaya Opera. And he liked my Box Car Racer cover, how cool is that?

His wife told me that my music reminds her Arcade Fire and she's totally into it. Best compliment ever.

Bragging time!

Love Franz performance so much, btw.

No way! Я зараз живу в житомирі.
