Saw them live twice and they were superlative. The Tamla covers and Moon River might have had no way to connect with the deep, dark, tormented stuff they wrote themselves, but it's all of a piece. Astonishing guitar, brilliant vocal delivery. I should have said "singing" there but somehow Dulli's voice always sounds less like a song than an afternoon in Abu Ghraib.
Gentlemen is perfection, near enough. Fountain and Fairfax is bloody hard to beat. The Uptown Avondale EP is absolutely fab too.
I remember T In The Park a decade ago when Ganesh went to see Pulp on the main stage with several thousand other people and I went to see Greg and the boys on King Tut's Wah Wah Stage with about four other people. It was like the best sex, it was that good. And I'd just met G, so it was probably the first thing that had the power to separate us physically for an hour. |
