New Whigs Track Titles… and a Video?
In an interview with Billboard.com, Greg Dulli dropped the names of the two new Afghan Whigs compositions, “Magazine” and “I’m a Solider”, and told of plans for a music video.
“We did two songs,” he says. “We had one, ‘Magazine,’ that was unfinished when we broke up. It was literally, like, left on the deck, and we finished that one, and then we did a brand new song called ‘I’m a Soldier.’ That one is probably gonna have a video, and that video will probably end up being extremely controversial, if it’s the way I see it. That will be the first video I’ve done since the Whigs, and it will be the Whigs, which is funny — and we won’t be in it.”
Why will it be controversial? “It’s topical,” says Dulli. “Let’s just say that.”
fingers still crossed for Umbretta….!
No fooling! I think we’re all still pumping that low-quality Umbretta MP3 onto our playlists; how is it possible that we don’t have a studio version of that song yet?!
How about hookin up a fellow Whig-lovin’ brother up and direct me to a copy of Umbretta!? PLEASE!!!!!
I am another Umbretta lover, would love to hear a proper version of it. so did they only record 2 songs in the new sessions? or are there 2 still un-named cover songs? originally i heard they were recording 4 total.
Controversy=Cash. I’m all for it.
i recall hearing about them working on 4 tracks, too…was hoping to finally hear that ‘bang bang’ song they were playing during their last tour, since i cant find any live sources of it..
blugel, if you or anyone else wants to hear “Bang Bang,” there’s a torrent of a show where they play it that can be found at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=127646 . There’s also good number of other Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers shows available there.
