Really enjoyed this acoustic Dulli/Lanegan set from Brussels ca. Saturnalia. Gutter Twins-heavy, but some solo-Lanegan/TS.

i was super hyped for the gutter twins album in college, probably because they had been recording it for so long, and "idle hands" was like a rock song from hell. i think saturnalia has the best production of nearly any of dulli's records, and i think this is funny because it's surrounded by two twilight singers records where i'm not entirely down with the production choices. imo the first half is still a terrifying sink into black murk; for some reason the spell breaks for me after "circle the fringes"... which is fine given how good "circle the fringes" is. (until i revisited the record last night (my first time in at least ten years) i had completely forgotten that song existed, so it sort of feels like i've been reunited with an old friend lol)

if i had enough room on my ballot i would also vote for "all misery/flowers"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 14:50 (three years ago) link
wow i had no idea they turned "candy cane crawl" into such a live epic, wish they'd done that on record

is "faded" the greatest power ballad ever or what
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 10:02 (three years ago) link
yes
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 11:16 (three years ago) link
btw 'faded' > 'purple rain'

going through it all now....
Up In It is great, standout cuts are definitely Hey Cuz & I Know Your Little Secret.
omg rhythm section on I'm Her Slave and Turn On The Water so amazing. John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:10 (three years ago) link
fuck and Conjure Me. oh god it's one of those polls where I listen through and just make a note of every single song on some albums and just cry at having to get the poll down to a reasonable length.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?
thats a bold claim but i was listening to Gentlemen a couple of days back, and was definitely struck by just how tight and punchy the bass tones are on that
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:32 (three years ago) link
for the sakes of that bold claim i am filing John Wm. Sims as 80s.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:57 (three years ago) link
covers ballot? nearly as hard as tracks
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
btw that frank ocean cover they did in 2012... is the best
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
Right? I don't know how I'm going to vote in any of this.xp
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
does backbeat count for the covers poll? i assume yes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link
not that i plan on voting for any of it lol
i am however definitely going to vote for "the temple" which is my favorite non-"miles iz dead" song on congregation
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:36 (three years ago) link
Forgot about that, backbeat, I mean. How exactly is it relevant again?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
Faded is great, Black Love is great overall, but its second half is really superb eh.
Also I agree with whoever was repping for Bonnie Brae upthread, it's gonna be high up on my list if I can find it a spot! Lockless too.

better than the original (which i like) by a lot imo
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
always enjoyed the cheekiness of putting "train in vain" drums under their cover of "lost in the supermarket"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:39 (three years ago) link
and then singing "stand by me" and "train in vain" over the outro
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:43 (three years ago) link
Cool, never heard that before!
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link
I mean didn't know they covered that song, never mind the other stuff.
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link
also highly recommend their cover of tlc's "creep"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
Cool again, thanks again.Does anyone stan for "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link
yeah, creep was on the honky's ladder ep, i played it to death! xp

my favorite thing about their "creep" is that it isn't a transformation like some of their other cover version, but actually a very reverent, faithful rendition
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link
he does quite like to sing one song's lyrics over another song's music
eg touch me i'm sick/i touch myself/let it all hang out or mother/dr jimmy/ holocaust/in the mouth a desert during live versions of 'you my flower'
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
does that all the time with his own songs too, mostly on opening tracks iirc
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
one song that the whigs haven't covered but definitely should is neil young's "powderfinger"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
yeah if you really want
their wiki page says the whigs did cover "like a hurricane" live in the past but i can't find any recordings
their "lost in a supermarket" cover is certainly one of my favourites, it's one where i could make the case it's better than the original, and the original is one of my very favourite clash songs too
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
Backbeat soundtrack seems missing from streaming, although one can find the OCR of the musical version.

The “Creep” cover is pretty faithful but is infected with this slightly ambiguous, tense undercurrent which is something that Dulli does with his covers so well
― Master of Treacle, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 22:34 (three years ago) link
It’s hidden on Zing, but MacZing still seems to have a bug, thought they were fixing it.
