for those unaware, the Gutter Twins = a new band featuring Mark Lanegan & Greg Dulli their long awaited debut album Saturnalia comes out March 4th on Sub Pop you can listen to 2 tracks now on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/theguttertwins march: 01 San Francisco CA/Bimbo's 365 03 Portland OR/Wonder Ballroom 04 Seattle WA/Showbox 07 Chicago IL/Metro (Late Show) 08 Minneapolis MN/First Avenue 09 Madison WI/High Noon Saloon 11 Newport KY/Southgate House 12 Cleveland OH/Beachland Ballroom 14 Toronto ON/Mod Club 15 Montreal QC/Cabaret du Musee Juste Pour Rire 19 New

this one has some great guitar work and a lot more memorable melodies than anything off Truth at least so far some really great Sonic Youth-esque jams on a few songs

did they claim this track was the first single or just the first taste?

^^ what do you think? i'm loving it so far... did not enjoy the last one much at all

is the brown blazer still in the band?

duuuude, go see Justin, he's great! the Redwalls are filling in for CC

the lyrics hit me REALLY hard a few years ago, but it certainly helped me in the long run

we're giving away 4 pairs of tickets to see Justin along w/ the fabulous Pines & Roma di Luna (2 of the best local bands in town) this coming Thursday at the Turf Club! http://www.reveillemag.com/news/news/win-t...es-roma-di-luna

me too

really wish this would have gotten way way more National press last year

at least the band has even agreed that Float Away was terrible since then

listening to this again today... i really don't see it growing on me that much sadly... what happened to the Replacements-y rock? there's maybe 1 or 2 outright true rockers on this record. that and i'm just not hearing that many great hooks like the last album. regardless... i'm more worried about the possibility of Kirk, Dave, & Adam being gone

Carry Me Ohio is one of the most heartwrenching yet gorgeous songs ever written

their myspace currently just lists: Dave Bielanko - Vocals, Guitars, Banjo, Etc. Serge Bielanko - Guitars, Vocals, Harmonica, Banjo, Percussion, Etc. Christine Smith - Keys, Vocals, Accordion, Drums, Guitar, Publicity, etc. as members... i realize they've gone through many lineup changes, but losing Kirk would be HUGE, Adam as well.

you still got a ticket right?

Black Keys last time as well. Low, Stephen Malkmus, Sparklehorse, etc. have all opened

fair enough sometimes having perfect pitch is both a blessing and a curse (*rimshot*)

it is a great song... i just can't stand when Patterson tries to go for his falsetto and strains, it's not a pleasant sound to these ears.

sorry my good man... i truly wish i was loving it, but alas... it's too bad they're like 1/10th as good on record as they are live. that said, the last one ended up being my 2nd fave of theirs behind Kids In Philly. this one just sounds kinda generic RNR and the production sorta bugs me some. it's almost frustrating that they've never quite captured their greatness on record, but i suppose even many of the best live bands of all time rarely live up to their live shows on album in comparison too. it's not BAD, just not that great either. i'll keep trying, but currently i don't see myself li

a few xmases ago my dad surprised me by giving me all of them

yes, maybe he was onto something... onto being a bigoted fucking asshole

i see... well i guess they aren't a band i've ever listened to for their lyrics whatsoever... in fact i could probably not even quote you anything other than choruses

ouch... i'm curious, were you a fan of their previous records? as for the Arcade Fire thing... it's unfortunate that Howard worked with them on the album, because without that people wouldn't be making the AF comparisons (there's only ONE song on the entire album that even reminds me of AF, BSP rock way harder than AF ever have for one)

hmm... his last one was EASILY far and away his worst album to date, so i hope at least a couple of thees are good... edit: ah... 4 EP's + 1 full length it's like the Junkyard Hearts all over again, cool...
