Will there be a new Afghan Whigs album in the future?

The future is unwritten (and so are the songs.)

- Very amusing interview with Greg Dulli from a very NSFW site, via The Afghan Whigs Facebook page.

““It’s very funny because while you’re around and in no danger of extinction everyone’s ready to kick you and say, Well, why don’t you break up? Your band is really pointless, just doing the same thing over and over and over so why don’t you just fuck off and die? And then when you are in danger of extinction they all go, What’s the matter, man? You should reform, man. I mean, it’s the Rolling Stones, maaan. They don’t give a shit about what you feel and what you have to go through to preserve this monstrous image intact.””

- Mick Jagger, 1987

““Sam used to tell me, whenever you got some money, you go get yourself a good ring and a good watch. Why would I need that? And Sam would say, you might have to get outta town quickly, before you get paid, and you can always hock that ring and that watch.””

The frontrunner in the Guilty Pleasures category for The Best Albums of 2012 has got to be the new Foxy Shazam: bombastic, shameless, stadium rock. Why Queen chose Adam Lambert instead will always be a mystery to me …

Those of us stateside have a holiday tomorrow, which hopefully translates into a day off work for everyone. Celebrate by partaking in some classic Americana - country swing. Done by a family of Brits from Birmingham.

I’m sure that’s analogous to the day the United States declared independence from England in some way.

Battleships are from Sydney, and whilst this song is pretty good as a whole, the most awesome bit is when all the guitars really get going in the last 20 or 30 seconds. Cracking tune.

This is great!

keath007 — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:05:47 -0700

By far my most anticipated release of the week (and one of my most anticipated of the year) is the new A Place To Bury Strangers album Worship. The album did not disappoint.

Compared to 2009’s Exploding Head it’s more of the same, really. There’s some variation to prevent things becoming repetitive, but the fundamental basis of APTBS sound, that being a wall of noise, distortion, and feedback, is unchanged. It’s very crisp and defined and cold. We may be moving into summer, but herein it’s always a bleak winter.

Recommended track: album opener “Alone”

Well if wishing is bad bad bad
Then send me to hell hell hell
But If you take my wish away
Then this cold world would burn as well
