Gentelmen is perhaps the Afghan Whigs swan song. The album that defines their sound and vision. Somewhere I read that the lead singer had a film background. He certainly knows how to craft a deeply personal and vivid journey using both lyric and sound. Anyone who is a Smith's fan should take a listen to this work. The following lyrics speak for themselves:Ladies, let me tell you about myse...

Sam Bayer made his career with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", a video that exuded grunge before grunge was a buzz-word. Dirty, yellowed and often out-of-focus, the style he created was instantly universal, cool and marketable. For a while, it seemed that if Bayer made your video, you were guaranteed a hit. "No Rain" by Blind Melon (the bee girl, you remember), "Zombie" by the Cranberries, "I'm On...

So now I am selling my books back, and my Jewy little mind figures that this is money already spent. So I can buy some new music!Recommendations? What is truly worth slapping down cash gotten via the sale of something truly loathed (like my Astro textbook or "The Black Jacobins")?

Gaslight alone flitted around my axed design. Itinerants came and cried, and moved on in pursuit of astrology and spice. Pirates moored with dirges. (I, for one, sang along until I parched.) Down the river under the earth, I met a Fate who c...

Your hearing I mean. I was talking to a friend last night and she had just gotten back from a show and was talking about the ringing in her ears. It reminded me of loudest single show I have ever been to.The year was 1996 I believe. The Afghan Whigs were playing at the Newport Music Hall here in Columbus and I was like front row, stage right...right in front of that wall of speakers. Great show...
