Coke addicts are junkies too you fucking tool, the stupidest kind. Still trying to make like you're hard. i could have then and still could put serious hurt on you. leave it alone dickhead unless youre actually ready to finally step up
Mark lannegn here’s how I saw it I asked you your bands name I was fucking around and called it something else you being an upiight junkie and not having a sense of humour got your little grungy knickers in a twist another bullshitter trying to sell a book LG x
Devastated to hear of Roky Erickson's passing. One of the reasons I began singing. A huge inspiration and giant in the history of rock. I used to call him every day in the 80's, he would actually pick up once every couple months and talk horror films with me. Such a loss. RIP
Terrible news one of the truly great people in this world has passed. Steve Strange was my agent for nearly 20 years and he always had my back. Heartbroken
Congratulations to

Just finished Sing Backwards and Weep, Mark Lanagan’s book. It was the ultimate incendiary rock n roll biography it was touted as, but also much more than that. I found it so honest, beautiful and deeply moving. All the joy and pain of life is in here.

who is having health issues. I love this man and he should be recognized as a national treasure. World’s nicest guy and a true musical original
What an absolute legend. And the kindest, generous and most giving person ever. It was an honor to write with Marianne for this record. I can retire now
Thanks dudes. FYI I have 12 solo records, 2 remix records and 2 box sets of my own, non-Trees material you could pull from if you really wanted to make the gesture of a birthday tribute. Just sayin’.. ......
Such a huge loss of a great musician but also one of the best people ever. Bill was my drummer and de facto bandleader for nearly three years and when your drummer is the guy teaching everyone the songs, it says a couple of things. Mainly that Bill was an exceptional talent

“The whole aim of practical politics,” H.L. Mencken wrote almost a century ago,” is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
Never has that adage been truer than now.
Happy birthday to the yin to my yang. The songwriting genius who usually plays with guys who sing in tune, but makes an exception for me,

Just heard the sad news about Keith Flint. We spent a crazy evening together way back in the early nineties at the old Town and Country, now the Forum. I was psyched that someone from Kerrang took our photo together. Such a goddamn shame
proud of my friend
@marklanegan
and that his story is seeing print, telling the often less than glamorous side of a life in music and the arts. his writing is like his songs: terse and dark, yet full of black humour, emotion and the ultimate triumph of art over despair.
The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!
UPDATE //
@marklanegan
has cancelled his headline UK tour that he'd rescheduled to February 2021! Please refer to your point of purchase for further details.
It took me a very long time to accept that something I made could have the same effect on others that my favorite records did on me. To hear this from such a great artist as yourself is humbling beyond words. Thank you.
Love, Mark
@marklanegan
Yes Mark. TY. Your album BUBBLEGUM, got me through one of the darkest periods of my life.
Thank you for your creativity & wonderful Imagination.
So many people are shit. All of what

says here rings true. We spend money making music for people who think it's fine to take it for free and then there's the fucks who want to go ahead and steal your tools too
Heartbroken to hear of my first musical hero Chris Newman’s passing. if I could’ve sung like anyone it would have been him. A one of a kind talent and a beautiful soul.
Sorry Mr. Sweetpickles. That’s a Soulsavers tune and we’re doing MLB songs. No Qotsa, Gutter Twins, Isobel Campbell, Garwood, and especially no Trees. If you come expecting that you will be disappointed. Just wanted to say Mr. Sweetpickles really
Everywhere I’ve toured lately were places Dave and I played together as a duo.Touring together in a car and laughing to tears everyday.He’s always on my mind and I will miss him incredibly until the day I follow him on. Nothing but love
Had the pleasure of joining the great
