It’s a Drake double header this week (though not really a jumbo edition) and I must admit his choices have me a little bit puzzled. The Q-Tip release all but passed me by completely and I thought the Deerhunter record came out ages ago (I guess because it leaked sometime in June). Over on this…

One quick look at this week’s take (the week before last’s actually) and you’ll see that it’s all about one band, The Hold Steady.
