i saw them a couple times on that tour too. it was seriously still one of the best shows i've ever seen, or at least one that i enjoyed the most.

"beware" on uptown avondale is a perfect example of what dulli can do to a songal green's version is great, but dulli just makes it into a totally different song

New album soon or something? Or did I dream that.
Also, he's the one really bright spot in this ridiculous story:
"To this day I'm confused about what exactly a hipster is, but I'm sure we've served a few based on our sales of Pabst Blue Ribbon."

"We weren't going to be a cop bar anymore," Dulli says. " Garth Brooks is not going to be on the jukebox anymore. The foosball tables are leaving too, and electric darts — what were you thinking? But if you're cool with Johnny Jenkins and Black Flag on the jukebox, you'll be fine."
ahahahahaha <3 <3

ned you missed the crucial "ohio is the worst place ever" sentence:
"To this day I'm confused about what exactly a hipster is, but I'm sure we've served a few based on our sales of Pabst Blue Ribbon," says Dulli, who grew up in Ohio watching his grandmother drink Pabst on the rocks.

First Twilight album in five years, yep. He's out on his first ever "solo" "acoustic" tour at the moment (ie he has a couple of players with him, plus guests getting up.)
(including, at some US shows, John Curley for a set of Whigs songs in the middle)

The last time I saw them, back in 1998, was one of the best shows by anyone I'd ever seen. Last Saturday night was possibly even better. Holy Christ, how is that possible almost 15 years later?!

My friend wrote the "Gentlemen" 33 1/3, and like me saw them last in '98 and then on Saturday, and he agrees it was just mind-blowing.

Here's a better version of that John The Baptist, with the intro tape and Blame included, plus broader vision:
and mooooootherfuck, there were only six of them* in Australia last week - if they keep touring as a 12-piece I want to go to America * 7 when Steve Kilbey got up in Sydney
