    Phenomenal. The tone of the guitars, the vocals, Sune Rose Wagner's production -- rock in a minor key doesn't get any better than this.

    Hey, I see from pics taken May 1, 2014 at the London, Scala gig kicking off DDGs' European tour that Dee Dee's hubby Brandon, whose band Crocodiles opened, was wearing his Arthur Rimbaud tee shirt, the very one with the famous "Rimbaud eyes" photo of the poet Dee Dee says inspired her to write the song she sang later that eve. Nice tie-in!

    This is a very cool band. i like this video but they are better live. Very cool song, Rimbaud, of course, deserves the attention. I like how they used bits of his poem "The Drunken Boat". Good to hear that is still inspiring us. I put bits of that poem and a couple other Rimbaud pieces to music too, ( i know it is not quite to so great an effect as the dd girls version). I will paste the link to my version of Druken Boat, not sure if it will work though..... Rimbaud Drunken Boat

    Suze Rotolo introduced Bob Dylan to the works of Rimbaud: "I came across one of his letters called 'Je est un autre,' which translates into "I is someone else." When I read those words the bells went off. It made perfect sense. I wished someone would have mentioned that to me earlier." Bob Dylan: "Chronicles, vol 1."
