Not a picture of Mark, so SUE ME. Listening to Strange Religion and realizing that this song makes me think of my dad's 1984 Caprice Classic which is like, not a 1973 Buick Century. So I needed a visual, and looked it up. This is such a Dirty Harry car.

Mark Lanegan: "I have my plans and God has his" Fri 20th Apr, 2012 in Features Mark Lanegan is a man of few words, but then his career that more than speaks for itself. With a voice as deep as the depths of the Atlantic and an attitude James Dean would be proud of, Lanegan is one of the lucky few to have broken up a successful band – ‘90s grunge pioneers The Screaming Trees – to forge a solo career that has been equally successful. Lanegan is touring Australia off the back of the superb Blues Funeral, his seventh solo record. The album, released in February, marked a rare change in sound, venturing into a world of electronic sounds and computerized drum beats amongst Lanegan’s trademark dirty blues aesthetic. “I’ve made a lot of records and I’ve been doing it for a long time. In small ways every now and again I try and change stuff up to enjoy myself. Basically, it was for me,” he explains. “I wrote some of this record with a keyboard and drum machine, synthesizer, but for the most part I wrote it with a guitar which is what I normally do. The recording process was the same also.” The album, like Lanegan’s other work, is mysterious and obtuse, using subtle lyrical metaphors and not giving anything away. Lanegan similarly refused to delve into the meanings of the songs, noting it’s very much a deliberate stance he takes. “It defeats the purpose of making them,” he says shrewdly. “Whoever makes connections with this music can draw their own conclusions, because that’s always what I’ve always done with music I enjoy. I never really wanted to know what Bob Dylan meant by one of his songs. I choose to interpret it in my own way, and that’s the beauty of music for me.” The man has a history of ill temper and surliness, infamously almost throwing the tapes to Whiskey for the Holy Ghost in a river out of mad frustration. But it was this attitude and gruff demeanour that went a long way to making the collaborations with British songstress Isobel Campbell, with whom Lanegan made three albums, so damn special. Lanegan revealed that a large part of what made the project important for him was the ability to sing someone else’s work, songs that he wouldn’t normally write. But while noticeably proud of the efforts, he virtually ruled out taking it further. “We did a lot of records in a short period of time, I love working with her. I’ll never say never… But I think it’s done for now.” When pressed about whether the Screaming Trees would consider re-forming, given the recent spate of ‘90s reunion tours (Blur, Faith No More, Stone Roses, etc.) Lanegan made it crystal clear that it’s not on the cards. Although he said he was in “semi-regular contact” with a couple of his old bandmates, he followed it up by saying the band is “nothing I wanna revisit.” Lanegan was also coy about whether he would appear on the next Queens of the Stone Age record, saying it had yet to be made and he hadn’t been approached. He’s somewhat part of a desert rock clique, along with Queens of the Stone Ages’ Josh Homme, and Alain Johannes who produced Blues Funeral, and describes the music he makes with them as a “result of the friendship” and he “hangs out with them all the time when we’re not making music.” Perhaps the clique he will best be remembered for, however, was the Seattle grunge scene, which spawned bands like his own Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, and of course Nirvana. Although having the benefit of hindsight now, the impact that grunge would end up having on the ‘90s and rock more broadly did not seem to be apparent to Langean and the rest of his band at the time. “I was making records for several years before that phenomenon happened, it was a little strange that so many bands from such a small city became so wildly popular on the international stage, but really for me personally, we were just touring most of the time and I was doing the same thing I do now… Looking back on it, which I never really do unless I’m asked to, it seems like just another step in the same direction I’m going now.” And, at 47, Lanegan is reaching elder statesman status but still may have many years left in him yet. “Ideally I’d like to do this until I’m old, but I have my plans and God has his… So we’ll see which one makes it.” www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/32302/Mark_Lanegan_I_have_my_plans_and_God_has_his#

He was actually there selling them in Melbourne (I am pretty sure it was the guy as a fan said something to Mark and then Mark said thank him) I am sure it may have been the same guy that did the Hawk poster??

Very nice. I do like Carbie Warbie's pics - almost as much as I like his name . the only thing is - looks like he has printed some of them the other way as evidenced by the tattoos (CW was positioned stage right from audience perspective)
