So - it's thursday, i'm at work, and i am so tired. Last night we made it out to see the Gutter Twins perform at the Avalon - a nice venue, but one i don't find myself going to often. The last time i was there, in fact, was to see Greg Dulli. this was the last stop on their US tour, and there i was again - this time it was Dulli and Mark Lanegan. Not a show i would have liked missing. the light...
Rating: 8.3From critically acclaimed (and popularly ignored) band Twilight Singers (side project of Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli) is a song that captures everything this deep, brooding, smokey singer does right.Like a more raw, less poetic Hold Steady, The Twilight Singers sing about dusty urban landscapes, lonely bars, sex that comes cheap and love that happens once if you're lucky.

I know he has a fan club on here...It's good, probably won't win them any new fans, but it's a right treat for the initiated. If y...
Has anyone else heard about their new album coming out? I just found this track on "emusic":http://www.emusic.com/album/10968/10968980.html, and it kicks ass. Pre-ordering the CD at this very moment. If you haven't twigged to these guys yet, please do so, they are wicked good.
NC State, North Carolina, and Duke all begin opening practice tonight at seven p.m. Eastern along with the rest of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Locally, State and Duke are having closed practices for their first night, but Carolina is having their usual schmooze fest where the players shoot layups, sign autographs for girls, and pretend they dont exist to sell UNC sports apparel.
