Working on a complete discography. I'll post it here when done. I want to include books...
Sing backwards
Devil in coma
I am the wolf
Ghost radio
Year zero
Plague poems
What am I missing? I think he contributed a few poems to a book that included contributions from various folks?

Ah, yes. Thanks. I found the three poems in a magazine. partisanhotel.co.uk/LaneganLooks like we can expect Years Zero in the upcoming book. What about the other 2? Did they appear elsewhere? |

I like Sleevenotes a lot, as not only does it give you stories behind some of the songs but you also get a few short stories/tales in the style of those from 'Sing Backwards and Weep' but from periods after that book ends.
Some heartbreaking stuff behind one or two of them and the fact he only started playing Strange Religion after 15 years due to Anthony Bourdain's request and then the difficulties he faced in playing it after Bourdain's own death, make those versions he's performed in recent years especially poignant.

Sleevenotes sounds like something I'd like to have, but I'm content with what I do have, and with the fact we're lucky enough to get a few more Lanegan poetry books.
I know some people might see it as a cash grab, but I'd love it if they released an updated version of I Am the Wolf with the lyrics from his last albums, and maybe even some of those stories that were in Sleevenotes. Still, though, I'm glad for what we do have. I only recently finally got a copy of IAtW, and was surprised how strongly his lyrics hold up when you look at them on the pages of a book. I mean, I always thought his lyrics were good. Just didn't realize I'd enjoy them almost as much as words on a page as words sung by that iconic voice.

Yes, it's true. His lyrics do stand up well to a straight reading sans music,
although the music certainly adds a lot, as far as atmosphere/mood. I can't find a trace of "Sleevenotes" or "Leaving California" anywhere on-line anymore. Hopefully some enterprising publisher will see fit to get reprints or new editions out there and available to the public before too long.

I'm fortunate enough to have both of these, but had a look around for you. I can't see any Sleevenotes, but it looks like Heartworm Press will have more copies of Leaving California ready to ship on April 15th: shop.theheartworm.com/products/leavingcalifornia |
