Just heard Alkaline Trio's "Warbrain" for the first time. Wow, was/is Brian an Alkaline fan? Feels almost like he based a lot of this style on this song. The chord progressions. The lyric style. Even the reference to "'59". EDIT: Nevermind - see he's covered it a few times.
Hether Fortune has a new essay in Creem on obnoxious Tom Waits fans and it includes this bingo chart. I love Brian's IG comment on it lol
I was just talking to my wife about how they're getting ready for tour and so I was hoping they were at least done recording. However, I was not prepared for anything this soon.
Wow I just stopped by to see if there was any news on new tunes. Come to find us Waits cats are copping strays.
Gaslight and Brian’s solo stuff - especially Local Honey - have been in my rotation for a few weeks now. Cannot wait to hear new stuff!
So here's my thing. If there's a new song coming, which someone is more than welcome to confirm if they know coughhhh lol, I'd assume it's coming before they hit the road, no? Hasn't Brian said in the past he doesn't like debuting new songs on the road because no one knows them?
We‘ve got 2 weeks to ago so I hope! It’s funny I remember them debuting Halloween at a Boston show, however, that’s a b-side so I’m sure that’s why they had no issue with it.
Won't lie I went to check my mail just in case the boys wanted to send me a lil something. They didn't.
