I love the fact that it's not a fucking barn burner like Honky's Ladder or Something Hot.....just keeps the suspense up for the whole album. I, too, can't wait for this record to drop!!!!!!!!!!! Whigs, Failure, U2........., 2014 looking to be a great year. |

Those midnight Twilight Singers shows at Metro were some of the best live performances I've seen. Can't wait to finally see the Whigs. |

Dude, I skipped my senior high school prom to see Whigs open for Teenage Fanclub at the Vic back in 92 for the banwagonesque/congregation tour. One of the best decisions of my life. I don't care what tix will cost, Chicago or Milwaukee....I'm there!!!!!!!!!!! |

Whigs at the Metro for the Lolla after party was one of the best shows I've seen. When they came back later that fall Dulli was kinda in "give a fuck" mode. Hopefully he's back to caring again. |

The last TS show I attended, I was standing next to this chick who was so into Dulli, much to the dismay of her date standing next to her. As the show went on, her date became more and more uncomfortable with her screams of “I love you, Greg!”

I had to choose between the Mountain Goats and the Afghan Whigs on an October evening last year. I chose the Mountain Goats. I don't regret it in the least, but now I won't miss the Whigs when they're in town next. |

Oh, I love Congregation. Very underrated in the catalogue. The Uptown Avondale EP that came out right after with the cover of "Come See About Me" and the remix of "Miles Iz Ded," though, that one's a fucking 20-minute revelation. |

Miles Iz ded is a fun on to play on drums, if you can play. Don't forget the alcohol. |

Couldn't have given 2 shits the rest of the night. The one Lolla weekend was the tightest live show musically I have ever seen. |

Top 25 Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers songs of the now, because 10 and 20 weren't enough: 1. 66 2. Faded 3. Crazy 4. My Curse 5. Bulletproof 6. Come See About Me 7. Debonair 8. Crime Scene Part One 9. My Enemy 10. Honky's Ladder 11. Somethin' Hot 12. Bonnie Brae 13. Blame, Etc. 14. Mr. Superlove 15. Miles Iz Ded 16. Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe 17. Gentlemen 18. Omerta/The Vampire Lanois 19. Love 20. That's Just How That Bird Sings 21. I'm a Soldier 22. Congregation 23. Teenage Wristband 24. Papillon 25. Forty Dollars And I'm sure I made a glaring omission or two at this late hour. That they weren't bigger than they were just makes me want to wail at the top of my lungs. Great songwriting, great arrangements, just the right mix of raw passion and attitude. |

"Lost in the Woods" is proving itself to be right up there with "Honky's Ladder" and "My Curse" in their pantheon of Real Bad Shit's About To Go Down songs. Whoever said "Algiers" was a good song but they were holding back on the lead single nailed it. "The Lottery" is like an outtake from Gentlemen. |

I pre-ordered the Loser Version vinyl from SubPop, hope I get one of the 50 posters Dulli signed to go out to random orders! |
