the afghan whigs: black love

btw 'faded' > 'purple rain'

I know it's a night for the biggest of takes, but this still shakes the foundations. And is true.

still most amazed because i was much more a fan of ppl gazing at shoes than dulli's over-the-top entertainer thing . . . but somehow the shtick still worked on me

obviously it didn't work on a lot of people, and he certainly wasn't in prince's class, but he was much better at it than seems reasonable

I've been luxuriating in the Twilight Singers discography and the thing is Dulli is just a really consistently awesome songwriter

Considering some of the bands that DID get tons of FM Xradio play, I just don't get why they did not play these guys. I think that about a few of the other 90s bands too.

really it's about as perfect as rock albums get

Agreed

bought this the day it came out ffs

still an incredible record on every level

fuck

we should also be very thankful that Dulli's movie never got made, could have needlessly sullied this project if it sucked (which let's be real it probably would have)

It’s just Dulli in a belted leather jacket going for a ride/going to town in different settings and different times of day for 95-100 minutes

the weird thing about a movie is that presumably the characters would have to have jobs, whereas in greg dulli songs it always feels like everyone's occupation is "lover"

straight in

It was a Saturday
I came home early
Drunk with love
And other things
