Dude, every Lanegan record since Bubblegum has leaked. Its routine. Yeah, and he wasn't happy about it then either, you think he's changed his opinion?

And I know I'm not a moderator, nor do I have any sway, or indeed say on what can be posted on this forum, but have a bit of fucking common sense.

If it has leaked, is there any chance you all might, for a second, NOT talk about it on what is pretty much the official Mark Lanegan forum? Thanks.

Maybe not so soulful, but definitely heartfelt and raw. Honestly, check out the Grinderman stuff, it's fucking amazing. They aren't always balls-to-the-wall, face-meltingly abrasive; they have their softer side too. That said, the Bad Seeds have their soft side, but they can be balls-to-the-walls face melting and abrasive.
I'm cherry-picking here, but sure:
I think the nutshell answer is that you can't really go wrong with any Nick Cave release. Just get them all because you will love them.
Oh aye. don't forget The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party.

My copy of this finally arrived yesterday, and fucking wow. I was expecting to be a little disappointed by it, but no. No. I haven't stopped listening to it (I have, I had to sleep). At the moment Higgs Boson Blues and Jubilee Street are totally taking me to the fair, as is the bonus track Needleboy. The rest of the album is pretty incredible too.
Oh, and doomed, don't forget about Grinderman.

Cheers doomed, very much appreciated. There really isn't much out there in relation to this release, so it's fantastic to get a first-hand review, thanks so much.

I tried buying a copy of Put Your Weight On It a while back, but my card wasn't accepted. As far as I know it's different from Jeff's usual stuff, and it's not what he wanted it to sound like. Let us know how it is when you get a listen!

Yes. I would love it if the Soulsavers release was also their rerecorded version of "Whiskey For The Holy Ghost" I'm pretty sure that was just a joke on Rich's part, though I'm more than happy to be proved wrong.

Some new live footage:
I had a quick back and forth with someone from My Jerusalem on Facebook, asking if they had considered releasing bootlegs a la Lanegan, or maybe a live dvd. They said, "We are open to the idea for sure. We have a few show recordings already. So possibly in the near future. " Which would be lovely.

i don't think that the don't find a label, they just didn't find the perfect label and i prefer to wait and have a proper release, than have a release which comes out 14 months late without any promotion and stuff The album was finished at the end of 2011/start of 2012, so I suppose it's rather late already. I find it surprising that they can't find a label/are being very choosy over which label should release it, but then again I have no idea how these things work.

I was introduced to Mark's music accidentally. Twice. The first time was in 1992. I was a fan of Curve and I'd asked a friend to record me a copy of their Fait Accompli ep. He did so and gave me the tape. I listened to the A-side, loved it and thought,"I wonder if he's put anything on the B-side? Maybe more Curve, fast-forward, see what's going on" So I did, I fast-forwarded.
On the b-side of that tape was Sweet Oblivion. I didn't know that at the time, all I knew was, "Fuck, this guy's voice is amazing! I wonder who he is?" Because that's all that the Screaming Trees were to me then: That band with THAT voice. I never really investigated further.
Cut to 2001. I was working in a record shop. Fan of Nick Cave and Conor Oberst (not so much Conor Oberst anymore), I was developing a taste for Will Oldham. One of the guys that worked with me loaned me 'Viva Last Blues' by Palace Music.
At the same time he loaned me 'Field Songs'.
I listened to 'Viva Last Blues' and loved it. Still do. Then I put on 'Field Songs'. I was fucking mesmerised.

I think we'll get a covers album and an album of new, original material this year. Pure conjecture on my part, but I think it'll happen.

Man, Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue and Berberian Sound Studio? You got great taste.

I could, and will, listen to this rendition of St Louis Elegy from now until, well, the fucking end of time.

Just had another listen to it (like yourself, I hadn't listened to it beyond the first time it was posted here), and yeah, it isn't as bad as I remember it being.

You'll enjoy it more if you don't listen to it.

I guess it depends on how an individual show is going, how the band are feeling it. They've played around with St Louis Elegy as well.
