I just bought 'Gentlemen' and am having a listen. Anyone here familiar with Greg Dulli and his heroin-addled, depressing little anthems?

I bought that album years ago & could never really get into it outside of the tune "My Curse".. Supposedly the "1965" album is really good.

Have you heard his (newer) band The Twilight Singers?

A reunion is planned. I saw The Twilight Singers this year, and they certainly have soul, you could really feel it during the show, but I can't recall one of the songs. Mark Lanegan also came onstage for 5 or 6 songs (including Where Did You Sleep Last Night/In The Pines). I couldn't get into Gentlemen either, I liked Be Cruel and My Curse, though.

Wahahaha…oh Froggie, you were like 8 or something when this came out. So are you attracted to Dulli cos’ he’s angry & depressed???

Tidbit of fact:
Dulli’s a BIG pervert, as told & confirmed by mounts of local chicks. So how depressed & angst riden was he really now?
I always thought 'fucking' induces happy hormone. ^_^

Might not be fact:
He owns a lil’dive bar in Echo Park called The Short Stop, fun place btw. < This is fact! Anywhoo there’s a photo booth in the back of the bar next to the beat-up pool table. Someone photographed wops of their own dicks & left it inside the photo booth. Well now it’s permanently displayed at the Short Stop.
Rumor has it; it’s Dulli’s cock-shot.

And no, I don't like the Afhgan.

Give me Hüsker Dü & Bob Mould anyday.

Ha ha. I never said I liked them, now, did I? All I said was that I was having a listen. I only bought said album because I found it for $7.99 in the bargain bin at the record store down from where I live.

'Fucking' does not necessarily guarantee happiness, just ask anyone suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Everyone cries during a good beerchug. And everyone knows I have equal hatred for you all, including Kyle.

The Whigs have a great CD EP of covers called Uptown Avondale, which has a fucking great remix of their track "Miles Iz Dead" a/k/a "Rebirth of the Cool."
