Not that I don't appreciate this board (because I do), but I thought that maybe Daisy or someone else (like a lurking blueblood or Mojo) might have some insight on this. I have not seen any word on this only the eternally "HCTWC" look of the ML.com. They cannot even update the tour dates. I would be very PO'd if I was Mark.

i think it should be gone forever.
the official site never had any good information anyways.
except for the board.
and the board is here now.
married with the only lanegan site that does have information.
so this should be the offical board now.
and i declare it
loud and proud.

Heya LostCause,
The MLB board is, sadly, down forever. It was sent out to pasture. The last I was told was that there would sometimes be updates, but not to get my hopes up because the updates would be few and far between. I haven't even gone back over there to see if anything has changed.
onewhiskey.com is now THE ONLY place for Mark Lanegan news and info. Too bad that the two sites couldn't have morphed into one. (I think onewhiskey.com should have been able to just become marklanegan.com.)

I certainly wouldn't mind getting official information sent to me to post in a timely fashion.
The advantage to being 'unofficial', though, is that I don't HAVE to wait for anyone to tell me what to do. I try very hard to post only things that are appropriate to a fan site, but in the end I can technically do what I want. I don't need approval for the look of the site - if it sucks, it does, and eventually I'll change it, but it's up to me. Certain standards are expected of official sites, and I don't have to adhere to them, which is nice. But I always try to maintain the quality of the content, because that's what's important in the end.

I am just surprised that Mark or his record company or whomever would let something like this happen to his "official" website. I would have a fit if I were him. Notice I did not say the "best".

not exactly the best way to promote your new album, by having a crap website with exactly nothing newsworthy to say unless of course its 5 days outdated and to alienate your loyal fans.....but really who cares.  |

Maybe he's not that bothered, and that's why it went tits up. He managed this long without an official website, and anyone who's anyone knows Raeni has always been first with news and tour dates etc. Just a thought. |

Decision obviously made by.......... Record Company Executives!how do you work that one out? Nobody here has anything to do with Mark's official site. We've got our own Mark artist section and Bubblegum minisite with information. Beggars has nothing to do with anything else, other than trying to get information out to Debbi's excellent site - and like she says, the whole thing with fansites is that you don't have to wait until something is ok'd by management before posting it - something we sometimes have to wait for.. or wait until something is 100% confirmed, etc etc etc... ps there's no new updates at the mo, but I am checking regularly - I'll see if the other dates are confirmed now as well.... |

uh....
skratch that.
no guitarists is the answer i suppose.
maybe Eminem has some time in his schedule and there can be a Shelter rap battle that night instead.
