I like the Twinemen..........................
===============================================================================================
one afternoon, while soundchecking somewhere in this fine country (i think i was denver), the house soundman, who had seemed like a nice person, started getting pissy, then pissier and pissier. our soundman, john, (possibly the nicest person in the world) finally asked him what was up. "the sax player sounds just like the guy from morphine," the house guy lamented. john laughed, "it IS the sax player from morphine. and the drummer, too!" this was not the first time we had heard this. or the last. twinemen was formed after the untimely demise of morphine. we toured together as orchestra morphine for a year after mark sandman died, to support morphine's last cd, 'the night'. we started writing together, ostensibly for a colection of songs for laurie's solo cd, but after realizing that what we were effortlessly creating was quite different from anything any of us had done before, we decided to follow the trajectory and the flow and see what happened. so, we introduce ourselves to you: we are twinemen, from boston, massachusetts. we come from morphine, but we are not morphine. some people will be offended that we do not sound like morphine, some will be offended that we do. whatever. we will never be played on commercial radio. we love to play together and we love to come to your towns. have a listen, say hello. pass it on.... lexica wrote:

I much prefer the studio version of this song, but this rough live version will give some indication.
There was a question recently on Ask MetaFilter: "I miss Morphine. Please recommend music that's similar to Morphine." The collective answer was, "Sorry, there's nothing similar to Morphine. Here are some bands that are vaguely, depressingly not-like Morphine. Sorry." RIP Mark Sandman. And haters gonna hate.  |

This isn't noir, it's morose and clinically depressed. He doesn't need to sing to us he can't make it on his own, just hum a few bars. Is this a junkie singing to his next fix?

A dark room, fireplace, pipe, glass of port, and a comfy leather chair would suit this song perfectly. Too bad I'm at work.

Your player & RP website are out of sync. Try closing your player completely, then click the listen link again. That should get you back in sync. |

I hear a bit too much Morphine on RP. They are cool, but I am kind of over them.
