I'm not sure if anyone else here will be interested, but we just published (on another board) a community GoogleDoc and Dropbox of all boots, demos and special shows that are legit to trade of The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers, The Gutter Twins, etc. (that's why it's called "All Boots Dulli"), from 1987 till now. Most of the things can be downloaded (again, all legit). Here is the link: [link]
I'm kindda proud of this. Seven years ago these bands were all "no, you're not gonna get an official message board. People might talk shit about us there", and now they let us do and have this.
Shir -- I'm not a huge Dulli fan but I know people who are. Is it OK to spread that link around?
Absolutely. That's what I meant when I said it's legit, and that's why it took us over 10 months to create this spreadsheet (persuasion).
(Oh, and when I say us, I don't just mean the community of Dulli worshipers. I'm one of the the folks who can edit that spreadsheet and did some of the work on it).
Thanks, Shir. I'm downloading the Big Top Halloween demos right now (AIFG!).
I was just thinking today that someone has to take and remix them into good music, if that's even possible. I think I somehow managed to listen to four songs from this album - and I'm still amazed anyone signed them after it. The only reason I still consider buying this album is to mess with other fans after shows - especially those of Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins, on which folks asking Dulli and co. to sign copies of Gentlemen. Pulling a "no, this is the album that changed my life!" thing. But I might be a bit evil.
There are also the Twilight As Played By... demos there, and they're pure joy. Two songs never got to be on the album, but I love them no less.
I love this cover of 'Get Lucky', the woman in the band TEARS UP the bongos. Without her on percussion this cover would just be ok.

I don't know if that song has been ruined or redeemed for me by the tumblr post I saw that said:
We're up all night to pet dogs
We're up all night to pet dogs
We're up all night to pet dogs
I'm up all night to pet puppies

Liese, that's only about an hour away from me, but I can't make it, sorry, I'm committed elsewhere. I hope the tour is going well, though.
