the buff who fell to earthGone 4 years today already. Damn.
Mark Lanegan - Whiskey for the Holy Ghost (1994)
So I guess I'm doing my Mark Lanegan discography listen-thru now. I didn't remember that J Mascis played drums for a couple songs on Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and I'm sure I didn't know he played piano on a Scraps At Midnight track.
Holy moly, I'm not sure I've ever heard Mark Lanegan's collabs with Isobel Campbell before. Absolutely gorgeous.
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas (2006)
Not sure why I don't already own a copy of this album, really dig the overall tone/vibe of this one.
Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral (2012)
This droney, piano-plinky track might just be one of my favourite Lanegan songs. It's surprising how well his vocal style works with such different types of music.
Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood - "Thank You" (2013)
I had missed a couple collab albums not listed as part of Mark Lanegan's discography, so now going backward to the one album he did with Greg Dulli for their project The Gutter Twins. I've never really paid attention to Dulli and Afghan Whigs. Should I?
And now onto a couple albums from Soulsavers that Mark Lanegan was essentially the lead singer and co-writer for. I knew the first track on 'It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land' immediately, KEXP must've played this one tons or something and I just didn't realize it wasn't a Mark Lanegan album.
Edit: Thought this was a strange song to pick as the single but then I got to "Spiritual", and now I'm like 'why so much Jeebus?!'
Soulsavers - "Revival" (2007)
Okay, Imitations, Mark Lanegan's 2013 album of covers, is the first of his discography that I do not care for. I don't even know the original songs (or at least I don't recognize them), but me and covers just tend not to jive...
Souvlaki Space Station 🛸@buffyleigh Thanks gor all the recs, I really enjoy a lot of his solo stuff as well as his work with Gutter Twins... didn't he do some stuff with Josh Homme too, or am I misremembering this?
@anarchiv he did a TON of stuff with Josh Homme. i, however, will be avoiding all of that.
Moss Wizard@anarchiv @buffyleigh not speaking for Buffy, but I avoid Josh Homme because he’s been kind of a jerk for a long time. Not like “totally evil” but gross enough for me to say no thanks.
@Moss @buffyleigh That's frustrating. Also weird that the news didn't reach me
DaveKaz@anarchiv @buffyleigh he was a member of Queens of the Stone Age for a while.
@fistfulofdave @buffyleigh That's what I thought
