    If you read between the lines in some of the news articles, concert reviews, etc., p-fork is already loving on the new Hold Steady. Definitely a 9.something. They are already not loving on the new YLT. 5.something. They've been hating on Travis for quite some time. 2.something.

    The Travis Morrison record is supposedly, tentatively titled All Y'all. If it's anything like the stuff he was on tour with last summer (all new), it'll fucking rock.
