The Twilight Singers - Number Nine

Mark Lanegan and Petra Haden perform live with the Twilight Singers. Lanegan and Haden sang on the studio version of Number Nine.

Twilight Singers - Gunshots

Greg Dulli is back. The song Gunshots has been a highlight of his recent acoustic tour. The song is from the new Twilight Singers album Dynamite Steps.

Twilight Singers - When Doves Cry

The Twilight Singers covered When Doves Cry for the Purple Rain tribute album. Apollonia sings background vocals.

"It was a fun challenge," says Dulli. "I can guarantee you that what we do sounds nothing like what you expect. The only thing you'll recognize is the lyrics."

You can listen to the Twilight Singers version of When Doves Cry at the Spin web site.

Twilight Singers

Love/Annie Mae
A Love Supreme/Please Stay

This is two live tracks from the Twilight Singers first tour. Word is Greg Dulli's personal life was bottoming out. The performances are excellent. I do wonder how much coke Dulli did during the set.

Gina Vivinetto used to be the lead singer of Bullwinkle. She informed me that her old band was on Myspace. I was surprised by how well the music held up. Many early 90s Tampa indie bands recordings sounded bad back in the day. They only got worse. Even great local bands like Monday Morning had trouble in the studio. Next the the Grassy Knoll Gunmen tape and CD and Kacy Ross's experimental music, this is the best recording from the era.

Beware: Gina name-checks Sam Shepard in a song. I'm disappointed she didn't drop entire passages from The Tooth of Crime.

Recommended listening: Sonic Thing Or Two, Mess.

Tampa bands, drop me an email and a link to your Myspace site. If I like it, I will mention it in a post.

Fountain and Fairfax

Let's take a ride down to Fountain and Fairfax. The most terryifying song about codependency ever written.

Angel, I'm sober
I got off that stuff
Just like you asked me to
Angel, come closer
So the stink of your lies
Sinks into my memory
She said baby, forever, but I don't like to be alone
So don't stay away too long
Baby, forever, well it's Tuesday now
I hear him breathing inside of her

Let me drink
Let me tie off
I'm really slobbering now
Let it stink
Let it dry up
It's impossible
How?

I don't believe Greg Dulli will ever be asked to perform on Pancake Mountain.

Twilight Singers- Black is the Color/ Time of the Season Medley

Only Greg Dulli would do a medley of Nina Simone and Zombie songs. Check out the interesting cigarette Dulli is smoking. How he has gotten away with smoking weed on stage for so long is beyond me.

Someone told me that Dulli's singing voice sounds like a horror movie narrator. I think I permanently psychologically scared this person with the Blackberry Belle album. Tell me in the comments if you have the same reaction to Dulli's voice.
