Idle hands are the devil's playthings, goes the saying. Considering all his demons, is it any wonder that Greg Dulli keeps himself busy? Four albums with the Twilight Singers in six years, his ongoing collaboration with Mark Lanegan as the Gutter Twins, long days spent on the road and long nights spent on stage: post-Whigs, Dulli's been a pretty busy guy.

Resistance? What's that? Left at the mercy of Greg Dulli's music, you're not a listener; you're putty, soon-to-be-defiled prey.
