Subject: Laneganagain
I've been on a major Lanegan kick the last week or so. I imported all the albums of his I own onto iTunes on my work computer (which is all of them except the covers album), and I created a Lanegan playlist that I've been putting on shuffle. It's all I've been listening to this week at work.
Something about the texture of the music is just really fitting my mood lately. Makes me think of dusty roads and tumbleweeds and dark old bars. Long nights and short days. Perfect winter music.
So, I'm terribly excited about the upcoming album of duets (the Ramblin' Man EP has grown on me quite a bit).
And I'm wondering, what musical mood are you all in lately? Any one specific vibe really strumming your chords? Tickling your ivories? Diddling your privates? (what?!?)

The music diddling my privates lately is 70's Rolling Stones (Goats Head Soup and Some Girls) and The Ramones (Rocket To Russia). I'm thinking seedy NYC. I'm sleeeping in my old CBGB's t-shirt, god knows I wouldn't leave the house in it.
zippity do da!

Interesting, tuggy (that's your new nickname, btw). You do wash that shirt occasionally, don't you? I was wondering what that smell was.....
I also meant to mention that I've really been digging Neko Case lately, too. Similar vibe to Mr. Lanegan, but a little more country-fied. If Mark were a girl and raised in the south, he'd probably sound a bit like this.
Same sort of dirt road feel. A little less intimate sound.
I think I've jst been inspired to create a mix. Dirty dirt road music. Country blues. Something like that. Throw some Johnny Cash in there, a little White Stripes, some Grant Lee Buffalo....
I'm on it.

Everyone's been wanting to burn my Johnny Cash CD...but somehow instead of making me listen more, that makes me listen less.
I think in the wake of the American Idol tryouts (the only part of that show I watch) and my need for something shallow...I've been listening to ANYTHING I can sing. But I can't sing a lick - so it's more like FUN things to sing. I was singing LUMP in my car last night.

Got Ballad of the Broken Seas in the mail on Friday.
Good shit. A couple of the songs seem a little out of character (upbeat) for Lanegan, but mostly I dig it. My wife, on the other hand, is creeped out by it. She likes Lanegan, and especially likes his duets with female singers (Come to Me is probably her favorite song of his), but she says Isobel Campbell sounds too much like a little girl which makes Mark sound like some creepy old pedophile trying to get into her pants.
Which I can actually kind of see. But for some reason, it doesn't really bother me.
What does that say about me?
Anyway. Good stuff.
And the new Neko Case, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, is absolutely stunning, BTW. If you're wanting something a bit different - alt country crooner blues - check out her shit. Beautiful stuff:

I was listening to it all last week, and I love it. It's defintely not a Mark Lanegan album. I think it's really different for him and I think he's trying to get into the groove of the album.
I can se what your wife is saying, I've thought the same.
Honeychild What Can I Do is my fave...
I almost feel that song reflects Isobel and Marks relationship.(album wise)

Mark Lanegan is haunted. I love his lyrics, but I can hear some big, scary demons in them, as well as his voice.
The guy is compelling.

I hear ya about the demons.
I love his lyrics. I may be reading all the wrong things into them, but they seem deeply personal yet profoundly poetic.
He's definitely one of my favorite artists.
He is YHWH...

Belle and Sebastian mood. I just can't stop playing their CDs on Saturday when I'm at home playing with the kiddo. When he gets older, he's going to be like, "Mom, why do I have this insatiable need to listen exclusively to British bands?" "Uh, son, I have no idea...."

Man, I've been on a Lanegan kick since late last year. He definitely is haunted. I haven't bought Ballad... but I want to. Just got the new Queens (yes, not so new anymore) and I really, really love This Lullaby. Talk about haunted.

I have been on a major Jello Biafra kick lately. Dead Kennedys in heavy rotation, along with the No Wto Combo and his latest album with The Melvins (which kicks ass). I was actually intending to post a thread about it, eventually....so watch out for that.

There's some rumour that Lanegan is the special guest on the new Eagles Of Death Metal cd. "Death By SExy".
lets cross our fingers that it's true, I think it's a possibility anyway.........wait and see/listen.

I saw a video from Death by Sexy on Subterannean over the weekend. Jack Black and Dave Grohl were both in the video. The concept of the video was that they were rocking so hard it blew people's clothes off.
Classic.
And I'm still totally loving Ballad. I think it would have been a little better if it came out in the dead of winter, but it's great none the less.

I'm still waiting for my copy of Ballad to get to my house. Hopefully when I get home tonight it'll be there, waiting for me. I'm pumped about this one.
