The Afghan Whigs "Gentlemen" Poll

last night i dreamt that an evil shapeshifter was using mutant bugs to turn everyone into zombies. a spiderman-type figure (i'm not sure if i *was* him or if the dream-story was just centered on him) was trying to stop him, without success until he realized that clues to reversing the zombification were strewn throughout 'gentlemen' and indeed, the ultimate solution proved to be to kind of hug/squish the zombies together while blasting 'brother woodrow/closing prayer' on a boombox. during this process i think there was a brief glimpse of dulli in the shadows nodding approvingly

nb i don't watch zombie shows or superhero movies. i *have* listened to the whigs a lot, but not particularly recently

I read the Vice "rank your records" piece with Dulli and I'm glad he agrees with me that the album kinda tapers off at the end.

Listening to the demos on the deluxe edition for the first time and holy hell these these are maybe the most polished I've ever heard? "Be Sweet" in particular might be better than the album version.
