The Gutter Twins

[Hessus]

The album is quite marvellous.
Saw them at Koko in Camden last month and have tickets to see them at Oran Mor.
The songs are quite Lanegan heavy, not that I'm complaining.
They played a couple of Twilight Singers songs, couple of songs from Bubblegum and a Screaming Trees number.
Would be nice to think it won't be a one off, but who knows.
Jeff Klein in part of the backing band which is an added bonus.

Anyone else been to see them?

Saw them last night in Manchester and they were tremendous!! Greg Dulli is a great frontman, fab soulful voice in comparison to Mark Lanegan who just stands looking really intense - worked really well.
Great when they came on for the encore and Dulli came in from the back through the crowd tapping people on their shoulders!

I was there It was awesome
Greg Dulli is my all time favourite front man
i loved it when he told the 2 off for photo ing

turned round to my mate looking for a mutual appreciation of the moment and he had a face like a stone !

Dulli bossed the whole thing

missed the rear entrance though

Superb album, been on rotation at chez moi for a while now.

The new Mark Lanegan/Isobell Campbell album (Sunday at Devil Dirt) is equally rivetting.

Non-vegetarian. Listens to country music. Doesn't cry. Drinks whiskey. Preferably from Manchester. Will that do?

i think you'll find, of course, a proper man - as in a proper, decent human being who happens to have xy chromosomes - won't feel the need to do anything as inhumane and pointless as eat meat

sorry. couldnt resist.

but i love the gutter twins album, gutted i missed the show. Lanagan and Campbell's new one is wonderful too

I we weren't meant to eat animals they wouldn't be made out of meat!

[morag]

Have no fear, animal free meat is here soon.

What is the "Vegetarian" response to the prospect I wonder?

Morag - not that you speak for all of course - how do you view this of potential animal free meat?

oh how i wish i did

my first response is bleurgh, that sounds disgusting and i cant help by be suspicous of unnatural foodstuff like that.

having paused for a second longer: bleurgh again. My primary reason for being vegan is animal welfare and i can see this solves that up to a point (where do the cells come from?) but the other really important reasons such as enviromental resources and health - it does not counter them. and actually in terms of resources it sounds pretty immoral And if your only reason for not being veggie is taste well i doubt you'd be convinced

i try to respect anyones diet as long as it is based on well reasoned fact but this sounds just really icky and bizarre. I've always been ambivalent about Peta, often big on gimmicks low on facts. i'm going to think about this more than i want to i can tell
