a musical update
The Afghan Whigs are releasing a retrospective album in May, featuring 2 new songs. I'm very excited, even though chances are slim that the Whigs'll get back together. And now that the Twilight Singers tour is over, my next dose of Greg Dulli might not come for a long, long time. Let's hope the Gutter Twins project with Mark Lanegan will see the light of day pretty soon, cuz I'm getting anxious. Since Dulli and Lanegan have some of the most orgasmic voices ever, IMO.
Meanwhile, my favorite local Washington DC-based band, Monopoli, is playing a slew of shows at DC9 every Thursday in March, I believe. Hopefully I can make it out to at least one of them, but with college and being in Fredericksburg, it's a bit dicey. However, if I can't make it, other peoples should because Monopoli be playin' some damn catchy tunes. Oh, and I just turned 21 yesterday so I can finally make it into DC9 now. And Iota for that matter. And other such clubs and musical venues.
My new favorite album is Please To Meet Me by The Replacements. I should've started listening to The Replacements a long time ago, but oh well. That album and Let It Be are currently the soundtrack of my life. Also on heavy rotation is Jeff Klein's Everyone Loves A Winner, Ballad of the Broken Seas by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan, and, regretfully, Hole's Celebrity Skin.
And sadly, I will be missing Justin Timberlake @ the Verizon Center. Le sigh.
