Mark Lanegan

[VinylGuy]

Goodbye To Beauty is so beautiful.

[armogi]

mark is on the new moby reprise album, i'm no moby fan by any stretch but the renditions of these overplayed songs are pretty interesting and mark is great as usual.

[knee tunes]

F*uckin what the F*uck

The first time in love
was electrocution
.....
strawberry make it naked
out here I'm alone
These streets get vericose


the way you do me love

Also, I got his Backwards Weep book and I'm on page 9.

He got off at least one hook and had a vicious mother

That's how you do me love

If you knew me love

[knee tunes]

Mark Lanegan's songs make me feel like I'm in a glorious meat grinder.

[knee tunes]

She looked passed the scars and the burned out eyes
You can see I'm no easy ride

...
She's just the kind who might get you to buy

I've been listening the Houston: Publishing demos 2002 and the material surprisingly strong. Only thing that puts me off is that Lanegan sounds on most of the songs like he is having a bad flu

The vocals are definitely hit or miss though I listen to the finished product fairly often. I agree with Lanegan that Randall Jamail did a fantastic job making a cohesive 'record' out of the material.

I feel like the Houston trip was bookended by two strong bouts of dopesickness as well, certainly not going to do his voice any favors.

His albums with Isobel ARE nice

I finally got his book. Im gonna start it soon.

there's a new memoir coming out next month too:

One morning in March 2021 with the second wave of infections ripping through Ireland where he was newly resident, Mark Lanegan woke up breathless, fatigued beyond belief, his body burdened with a gigantic dose of Covid-19. Admitted to Kerry Hospital and initially given little hope of survival, Lanegan’s illness has him slipping in and out of a coma, unable to walk or function for several months and fearing for his life.

As his situation becomes more intolerable over the course of that bleakest of springs he is assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about a life lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. He is prompted to consider his predicament and how, in his sixth decade, his lifelong battle with mortality has led to this final banal encounter with a disease that has undone millions, when he has apparently been cheating death for his whole existence.

Written in vignettes of prose and poetry, DEVIL IN A COMA is a terrifying account of illness and the remorse that comes with it by an artist and writer with singular vision.

Quick interview on the new memoir

Trying to collect a bunch of his collaborations recently, perhaps with his downtime I can catch up.

[VinylGuy]

what are those collabs?

The last thing i heard besides his last album was that Dark Mark vs Skeleton Joe song.

Just running up this list

Also finding some more recent efforts over at Redacted.

[VinylGuy]

Im reading his memoir, and damn him and Lee Conner had a really difficult relationship. Seems Lee was impossible and well, Lanegan too.
I often wondered why he hated the Trees so much, and here its the answer.

Also he really hates those SST albums too.

[VinylGuy]

also im listening to the Trees all week



fuck you Mark!
