Greg Dulli is thy shit Thread

1.Congregation
2.Gentlemen
3.Black Love
4.1965
5.Twilight Singers
6.BlackBerry Belle
7.Amber Headlights
8.She loves You


It's our ode to Dulli.




Dulli's music to me is a existential astral car crash but on the way to oblivion In the car with his naive femme fatale partner Greg intuitively knows his fate so he dumps gasoline all over the interior of the car while he is gunning down the highway & lights the cig, he is literally torched in his own impending destiny to the afterlife.
He pulls no punches even to himself.


and that's as it should be.

One of the best songwriters/musicians of our time. Have you heard his cover of "Hyper Ballad"? Only Dulli.... only Greg would think of that shit

Powder Burns.....new lp may 06

There aren't enough badasses like Dulli left in the world.

If any of you out there haven't seen this guy live, I recommend checking him out. I don't think there's an equivalent artist I'm aware of who has better fused Soul and R&B into rock music...

...and Amber Headlights kicks...

Have you got the Twilight Singers live DVD? I hear it's impressive

You know, Dulli said in a interview the two people he wants to work with the most is Prince or D'angelo. Can u imagine Dulli and D'angelo?

And yea, i heard a little of the new stuff as well,boozoo. It's hard not to download it on P2p network. But I will wait I guess. It sounds like a solid followup. I heard Forty Dollars and Bonnie Brae.

I hear the Gutter Twins record is coming in the fall or spring. Thats the collab record with Shane Lanegan from Screaming Trees. Not to get you guys in a tizzy over it. But Greg's release schedule is pretty consistent if he says something is ready.


So I'd say Fall 06 or Spring 07 at the latest.

I'll have to check out the Gutter Twins...last time I saw the TS, he did a song from the project that I liked. Turns out the Singers are coming to town in May or June...

Greg Dulli's included numerous nods to Prince in his music...especially live. The Afghan Whigs would perform an impressive cover of ICNTTPOYM or When Doves Cry...and for the obscurists out there, he would quote a little Le Grind with 'Goin' to Town'.

The Twilight Singers' DVD is OK...feels almost like a bootleg. It's worth the soul-crushing take on Abba's Dancing Queen...

Maybe i will get the documentary instead on the Afghan Whigs made by some roadie. I hear that's interesting. Heard aboutthat one? I thought about investing in some of the ep's. But I don't know I aint paying `10 dollars per disc for 4 songs

I have this live e.p of them at The Howlin Wolf and they do a bit of Housequake mixed into Superstition

As mentioned Dulli is a big Prince head and a badass rock soul boy his damn self.

Rent or buy Beautiful Girls and see them in a few bar scenes performing..then get the soundtrack for their song and their cover of Barry White's Cant Get Enough of Your Love

Is that the same one where they start off with Curtis Mayfields If There is Hell Below?

I think I will buy that one. One Little Indian needs all the unit sales they can get. I already preordered it. It's hard though to not download it. It's tempting. Same with the new Mike Patton..... ahhh

in aticipation of powder burns i'm grooving 'twilight by the twilight singers'.

'clyde' has been on reapeat fro half an hour. worship

frankly speaking, i think that the twilight singers in their groovies moments make some of the best neo-soul around. far surpasses some of the over done stuff that so called "soul artists" do. as is the case with George Micheal in his less wanky moments( wink ).. . . some times "blue-eyed soul" is just better than the , erm "black people" soul.
it doesn't try so hard to get there, no what i mean?

All I ever heard was that one popular Afghan Whigs album...wasn't crazy about it, but it sounds like his other stuff is worth hearing...is it different?
