He’s been releasing a lot of music lately too. Prolific until the end. You’re right, he was an og for sure.I just found out, as well, very sad news. A grunge og and great singer/songwriter.
RIP??
Yeah, this is horrific news. He's one of my all-time favorites. 'Bubblegum' is a top 10 album.I just learned that Mark Lanegan, died at 57 today. I am a big fan of his... very sad to hear of his passing.
RIP Mark

I didn’t know about that either! Definitely going to check that out. I’m looking into his memoir too, though a quick search I can only find the audio book. Thanks!I didn't realize that he'd written a book about his nightmarish covid experience -- 4 weeks in a medically induced coma!
His memoir, Sing Backwards and Weep, is brutal and really well done. Still recovering from reading it. I guess Bourdain is the one who convinced him to write his story.
I listened to the audiobook -- he reads it himself, in that inimitable voice of his, so of course it's excellent.I didn’t know about that either! Definitely going to check that out. I’m looking into his memoir too, though a quick search I can only find the audio book. Thanks!
Field Songs is also so damn goodI've been jamming out to "Bubblegum" all morning, I forgot how much I love this album. It's going to be a day filled with his music. Do you all remember the work he did with Soulsavers? I forgot about them until this morning. His solo album that first won me over was, "Field Songs"... but, he's made so many excellent albums over the years!
I've actually never listened to an audiobook before... I'd say this is a good place to start.I listened to the audiobook
Definitely! It's intense, though, as you'd expect -- I had to take breaks from time to time, or the bleakness became overwhelming.I've actually never listened to an audiobook before... I'd say this is a good place to start.
