Listening to a great boot of the Gutter Twins @ the Showbox in Seattle. Fantastic stuff.
Bummer. I still really love Whiskey For The Holy Ghost. One of the more haunting albums in my collection.
Giving this a spin tonight:
this really, really saddens me.
I was just listening to some unreleased Screaming Trees stuff from 1995 over the weekend.
damnit, I passed on an opportunity to see him last time he was around NYC...
this is really sad.
I think Eddie is the last of the "big" grunge singers still with us...
Really underrated artist, to me he was the Nick Cave of "Grunge"
R.I.P.
This one was one of my favorite collabs with him:
Glad to see the XX cover on there (knew it would be) but missing was this which I love even more.
Popped up in my queue and it's hard watching two greats at the same time who've passed.
So sad. It was such a shock to come across news of his passing, you'd think he'd be one of those artists who would just be restlessly creating things forever. At least we have a huge body of work and that wonderful voice to remember him by. I was first introduced to him through QOTSA, (just his voice alone makes tracks like In the Fade amazing) and was quite astounded with the amount of albums and different collaborations he had a hand in creating when I started to dig deeper with his work. RIP Mark.
I really liked Blues Funeral. I need to give that album another spin.
If tears were liquor
I'd have drunk myself sick
Mark Lanegan and Screaming Trees are a complicated legacy to sort out
He once suggested that the first six Trees albums are “probably among the six worst records of all time.”
What?
