Mark Lanegan on Christmas

This is a delightful work from our beloved and lost Mark Lanegan on Christmas Carols, released on 2012 and 2020. Most of songs are considered traditional and some are original. 

May we all have a lovely and peaceful Christmas.

This amazing blues in its original version (shown below) has nothing less than 12 musicians playing and singing together, including Josh Homme and Alain Johannes guitars and six back vocals: Greg Dulli (Gutter Twins), Wendy Rae Fowler, Molly McGuire, Natasha Shneider, Brett Netson and Nick Oliveri.

Farewell, Mark Lanegan

We, the wolves, we are terribly sad, Mark Lanegan left us today.

His songs were elegant, he was an artist, a great singer and his voice was very unique, rough and smooth at the same time.
Mark was very productive in the last years, he made many songs lately and he also gave his voice to several other songs and I loved his Christmas performances.

For one generation of music lovers, specially in Europe where Mark Lanegan lived and where he was really appreciated, Mark was one of us, a wolf of the pack.

António Sérgio, the wolf master, was a great fan of Mark and he used to delight us playing his songs often on his radio shows and showing us his lastest songs. Mark Lanegan left us too soon, he was 57. We are heartbroken.

the master AS left us 12 years ago

There are several (hundreds) artists that we relate immediately to António Sérgio because he was the one who fascinated us introducing them to us right after their appearance. Two of those artists are undoubtedly Nick Cave and Mark Lanegan. Cheers to them, cheers to AS, cheers to all of us who were blessed to listen to them.

3 years after. António Sérgio.

Bring on dozens of websites, or hundreds of podcasts, that absolutely nothing is comparable to the rendezvous for two hours of pure magic. It was an alchemy that only António Sérgio dominated with a delightful mastery.

Here we have two dark songs from Mark Lanegan, one of his favorite artists. Following rhythmically the 2nd, we have one of the first things I heard from the hand of António Sérgio, back in 1980.

"Take care"

and I love the night

I couldn't wait much longer to post this. I'll be back to this amazing Lanegan's new album and to this stunning song when there is a good clip.  Apart of the 1st song, there's no promo videos. And all the live ones are amateurs as this one. Anyway this clip is good enough to share this song. Enjoy :)

the sun's tolling bell . subterranean eyes . a thousand to one . the factory line . stars outside the window flicker and shine . the hollow headed morning isn't blind . a mountain of nails burn in your hands . here i give all i am .  . gloria . i get down on my knees . further from my own .  . a tower of stones . sympathy's shade . ride a white horse . the drowned on parade . a diamond headed serpent climbs a vine . see all the lonely children . lose their minds . a mountain of dust burns in your mouth . here there's no north, just south .  . gloria . i get down on my knees . further from my own .  . thirst swollen tongue . an arcadian twist . the sleepwalk is done . yet the notion persists . cars outside the window careening by . the hollow headed morning is unkind .  . gloria . i get down on my knees . further from my own . under a cliff . darkness denied . here i have seen the light .  . here i have seen the light

AS 61

It was a great big party today on the Radio and at São Jorge movie theater.
Despite the association of a big radio, not a single foreigner internacional artist/band has come to António Sérgio's 61th birthday party. He had many foreigner friends and he deeply admired some. Mark Lanegan was just one:

remembering Jeffrey Lee Pierce

Below there's the album cover and one music from Jeffrey who disappeared fourteen years ago on last March 31. Since then I've been reminding his music that I played like a cult in early 90's.

Now. Behind the hell there's the music. Just search it.

 

And the last of this post:

 

Good night

unbalanced pieces

I wanted to post this sometime ago according to something but clips with this piece didn't exist yet. So this has nothing to some actual kind of spirit. It's just something I do really like. Enjoy! Have a nice weekend! :-)
