Wesley Eisold: "2020 - I'm going to Mark's often during the pandemic lockdown. After we madePlague Poems, Mark wanted to do a podcast together with the idea that the listener would be a voyeur to the candid conversations we were having... the type of delirious and open talks that arrive on an all night drive. We recorded a few episodes for fun and were just getting started, and that is what you will hear here, presented unedited and in crude glory.. when Mark moved to Ireland we had plans to continue and were reaching out to friends we planned to have on. The podcast was being pitched to places at the same time he landed in a coma, and that was that. When he came out, he still wanted to pursue it and hoped we would in time, but we never got there.
Mark, I want to thank you for the laughs and inspiration and friendship.. I listened to the first episode last night and felt that I still had my friend next to me.
Thanks to Amy Lee for putting this together and also thank you to Wyatt Oberholzer in Philly who worked on the recordings to make them audible for you. These were in my pocket but there is no reason to hold on to them and I hope you'll find them enjoyable.
Extra thanks to Dylan Carlson, Warren Ellis, Peter Hook, Jack Bates and Calvin Johnson for their time."

Dark Mark & Skeleton Joe on splatter wax has arrived.
Been waiting a long time for this one. This was preordered way back in October, and was finally available to ship a few weeks ago. The splatter and black versions have sold out, but there is a white version available for preorder.
A project born of mutual respect from Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) and Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line), Dark Mark vs Skeleton Joe (DMvSJ) mines electronic music and unearths an experimental sound for both of them, a sound coined “gothic death disco” by Louder Sound. A prolific artist and author, Lanegan has collaborated with a host of bands and musicians, including UNKLE, Neko Case, The Duke Spirit, and Queens of the Stone Age, among many others. And whil ehe’s worked with many legendary acts over his career, DMvSJ marks a new band for Lanegan, not a guest spot or featured artist. “The fact that it’s not like anything either one of us have done before is what makes this so interesting for me,” explains Lanegan. “When you have done as much stuff as Joe and I, you have to constantly search for the different and challenging to keep yourself engaged.”
"The project is called Dark Mark vs Skeleton Joe because we both have assumed these alter egos over the years,” says Cardamone about the origins of the project. "The material we wanted to do together seemed to take well to the idea that our personas here are as if we’re now outcasts to our own creative selves.
"I do think the death disco label we've been given could apply to portions of the material. Only half the record lives in that territory though," explains Cardamone. "There’s a lot of material that is nostalgic ambient. I always thought the record functioned on a day to night level. The hard songs are for when the sun is gone and the cuts without percussion are for the day after the primal beating."
The night portion of Joe's analogy is perfectly represented in opening track "Livin Dead," which immediately starts off with eerie, blaring synths before pulsating drums and arresting vocals kick in. The track is truly hypnotic and sounds like it could be right at home in a John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) movie. Other tracks on the record that capture this soundscape include "No Justice," which fits in line with the goth midnight dance floor, the slow-burning "Turning In Reverse," and the chaotic "Sanctified."
In contrast to the more eerie tracks and a showcase of the previously mentioned ambient nostalgia, are tracks such as the spare "Lost Animals," relying on Lanegan's vocals and minimal synth, the church organ infused "Hiraeth," and the trip-hop esque "Cold Summer." These tracks showcase the range of emotions and moods DMvSJ are able to capture on this expirmental, electronic journey.
“We were originally intending to release it earlier, but with the pandemic and other things going on in the world, it just hadn't seemed appropriate," adds Lanegan. "Now, we both feel more comfortable creeping this material into the open."

Same here. The 2 new ones were the only books I was waiting on, now they’re here. His poems would make great lyrics and vice versa.

Isobel Campbell was on an episode of the Performance Anxiety podcast recently. In the second half she talks a lot about how she met Mark, and how they came to write and record together, and how much she's missing him.
She also said that Cooking Vinyl would be reissuing the 3 albums with Mark, and also the Keep Me In Mind, Sweetheart EP, on vinyl and cd in 2023.
Marc : "Are there going to be any reissues, on vinyl specifically, of the albums with Mark Lanegan? Or maybe an album of unreleased material?"
Isobel: "Yes to all of that, yes to all of that. Actually, right before the first lockdown in, like, March 2020, Cooking Vinyl were sorting all that."

Finally got around to reading Sing Backwards & Weep.
Holy shit, I couldn’t put that down once I got into it. What a crazy f’ing life he lived. I’m disappointed he didn’t really talk about the aughts, I would have loved to hear about the QOTSA days.
I have Grohl’s Storyteller up next, and hope to tackle Devil in a Coma after that.

bought the autographed version of Sing Backwards and Weep right after he died and before they pulled it. Going to read it next week.
strap in.....
I'm honestly a bit hesitant. I have strong aversion to anything health related; very bad health anxiety. And the little I've read of what he went through his last years, I don't want to all of a sudden start finding "symptoms" of my own. why I haven't read it yet. I'm hoping that doing so on holidays in a relaxed environment might be ok to tackle it.
oh god. maybe I should just shelve it and read Dave Grohl's instead.
I loved it… The drug parts were harrowing to say the least, but the nuggets he drops about a lot of other celebrities is wild… I don’t necessarily believe 100% of it, the guy was pretty f’ed up through the ‘90s, so his memory probably isn’t perfect (although he wasn’t sued that I’m aware of so I guess there’s that. Reading about how him & Layne wrote Long Gone Day & his version of the Liam Gallagher feud alone made the read worth it.
Also, listening through Bubblegum after finishing the book gave me a new perspective / appreciation for a lot of the lyrics.
Make no mistake though, Lanegan doesn’t paint a pretty picture of himself or his life (nor many others, which we know burned some bridges).
I legit couldn’t put it down when it got going and I can’t wait to read Devil in a Coma.

Found Bubblegum vinyl on Amazon this AM for $40… there were only 3 left… sent my wife a link for an Xmas present… there’s still one left if anyone’s looking.
that's where I got mine. I wasn't sure if the one I got right after he died coincidentally was the last signed copy, or if they pulled sales to stop people from capitalizing.

You might want to stay away from Devil In A Coma then. It’s starts with him being hospitalised and doesn’t get much brighter from there.
Sing Backward and Weep is a great read, but it is hard at times. It would have been good to read a follow up volume, but I remember Mark saying he wouldn’t write another biography because he found SBAW too hard to relive.
