Bought this Danzig-Danzig CD a few weeks ago second hand in my favorite shop, because I thought it was lost.
Introduced it to my son and it was a short walk for him to his rack, to sort out my original one…..
That’s how it should be!
Boom! This is one of my all time favourite albums. I even have an 'Am I Demon' tattoo.
I'm on a massive Thurston Moore kick at the moment and he's bloody playing a local spot in Portsmouth next month with a 500 cap!

I'm surprised that you like "Born Into This" and not "Sonic Temple." The former is to me a fusion of the latter and "Electric," and being less stripped down than "Electric," favors "Sonic Temple" more. YMDV!
I think I find BIT grittier and a little more edgy than ST. ST seems glossy at times, a bit polished.
EDIT: For context, while I love sonic wizardry, when it comes to rock n roll I prefer it dirty and messy. The Hold Steady have been my absolute favourite band these last 15 years.

That's completely fair.
I remember how cool I thought Ian's gothic native rockstar look was on the Fire Woman video at the time.
I guess there must've been an artistic tug of war between the two visionaries, with Ian going in the more mystical, gothic, postpunk vibe versus the hard Rock. It resulted in some great art, but ultimately some misses and probably cost them sustained fandom in many corners because of the inconsistency–never could pin them down, for better or worse.

Highly recommend listening to the Disgraceland podcast if you're a music lover. There are some seriously crazy musicians out there…. And some with very tragic upbringings.

Prodigious talent. Today's drop from Billy Strings is in the running for Album of the Year for me.

+1 for Billy Strings!
2019 has been fantastic for music, Tyler Childers is leading my list so far.
-
I was supposed to see Tyler Childers' first Red Rocks show next week from great reserved seats but a motherfucking work trip scuttled that. I'm extremely frustrated by that. Same thing is happening with Tool.
The new Sturgill album is interesting so far. Definitely a departure but given what I saw him do at Telluride Bluegrass Fest last year not a shocker that he went so deep into rock n roll.

@mclaincausey - I've been listening to the new Sturgill release today, it's a bit different to his last albums for sure! I've got tickets to see him in London next year, my first time seeing him live, can't wait.
Would love to see a gig at Red Rocks one day!@Graham - great to hear you are rockin' Tyler! Couple more for you:
Kendell Marvel:
Brothers Osborne:

Oh fuk I'm old-fashioned but this rings my bell:

@IH-GARY by all means reach out any time you find yourself Colorado bound!
You're gonna love him live. I've seen several of his tours and his stripped-down ass-kicking rock n roll is really great! He rages on the guitar. Didn't need a "stunt guitarist" cos he can do his own stunts.

Couple of questions you sexy, sexy bastard… is the intro to this taken from "Stand by me" and, How old is it? I know I could google all this but:
1. It would be boring
2. It would annoy you less
Fucking excellent album though. Thank you.
