"Think I'm scared of girls, well maybe" reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. He has a Mascis drawl for a second.

Just imagine how frustrating they were for Rufus.

Can somebody upload the Dulli sung version of "My Curse," please?

[The Good Dr Bill]

hey, remember when we were talking about our favorite Whigs songs and I mentioned "Now You Know" and you said it was your least favorite song on the album and I wondered "huh, why does Paves dislike this awesome song" Yeah, I actually meant "My Curse".

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Awesome bit of clarification.

Yeah, I definitely don't dislike "My Curse" at all. I was actually just playing that on this here acoustic guitar a few minutes ago. That and "I Keep Coming Back" [POST EDIT: I MEANT TO SAY "WHEN WE TWO PARTED"!!!!! "I KEEP COMING BACK" IS ALSO AMAZING, THOUGH] are probably my favorite songs on Gentlemen.

The best part of "Now You Know" is the last two seconds. The "NOW IT'S THROUGH" part.

[The Good Dr Bill]

yeah, those are probably the three best songs on the album. "What Jail is Like" is great too (even though I significantly doubt whatever Dulli was going through when he wrote the song accurately reflects the feeling of lawful imprisonment) and "Brother Woodrow" / "Closing Prayer" is severely underrated.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Oddly enough, "Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer" was actually the song that made the biggest impression on me the first time I listened to the album. Beautiful little instrumental right there. I enjoy the sounds of a mellotron, as well as those of a cello, in addition to the guitar playing of one Mr. Greg Dulli. A combination of all three is just delightful beyond belief.

this thread is useless without Black Love discussion.

[The Good Dr Bill]

hey, I listened to that album recently. Middle of it still fucking sucks. So unfortunate.

I agree, it's an amazing instrumental. And also the song that kept me listening to this album (Dulli took awhile to get used to) until the rest of it seeped into my subconscience.

My Curse is a perpetual favorite, but Fountain and Fairfax is just phenomenal. Aw hell, I can't find a weak spot on the whole damn album.

This was probably the first album I could play back note-for-note, lyric-for-lyric in my head. Freakin' haunts me sometimes.

But, I definitely have to be in the mood to listen to the whole thing. If I were to introduce a newbie to the Whigs, I'd probably hand 'em Black Love first.

I like the way you roll Ronald Reagan.

Remember when Sickpup called the second half of Gentlemen a "snooze-fest"?

you're crazy. gentlemen has no legs. that album runs out of gas halfway through.

at the halfway mark, black love throws more gas on the fire.
