gutter_twins-all_misery-video.jpg

The initial push for Dulli and Lanegan’s Gutter Twins project revolved around shit-kicking love anthem (yes, there is such a thing) “Idle Hands,” with the MP3 and the Letterman performance and the so on. Now the focus shifts to the weather-beaten oddity “All Misery / Flowers,” and as that slash suggests, there are two things going on here: Greg, Mark, and some hula hoops and dancer in a dark cabaret club, and a funeral procession in New Orleans. Nobody said it had to make sense.

Somehow at some point during this video it got in our minds that Mark looked a little like Will Ferrell, thereby bringing some unintended humor and expectations of yazz flute to all that misery. Greg just looks like Greg though, that’s grit enough.

  1. Ha, never thought about that Will Ferrell comparison. Greg poses a slight comparison to Roy Orbison with those sunglasses on.

    Regardless, what an amazing video for a great song. This is a pairing that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.

    I really enjoyed the video; thought it was a great pairing for the song. I have to admit though, I saw them live last weekend, and I’m pretty sure Lanegan moved more in that five minute video clip than he did for the almost two hour live show!
