Tonight, tonight, I say goodbye/ to everything that thrills me...

Pitchfork gives a pretty good review to the Twilight Singers' new album. I still haven't heard the whole album, but I will say this: "Dulli-fied" is the great new verb of the English language; call William Safire. Great last thought in the review: "they do remind us why the earth moved for Dulli in the first place." If you had the pleasure of seeing the Whigs live—or to a lesser degree, the Twilight Singers—you know exactly where he's coming from. Those shows were absolutely monster events of music and showmanship, spiked by great covers. One time I saw them do a medley of their own "Turn on the Water," the Stones' "Gimme Shelter," and PJ Harvey's "Down by the Water"; another time they closed with Prince's "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man" and the Stones' "Beast of Burden". Whew... I'm getting a little misty. Let's all have a moment for the Whigs...
