I just received a text from my brother with the awful news that Mark Lanegan has died a the age of 57. As part of the original Seattle grunge scene, Lanegan's music has been in my life for over 30 years now. And it's been amazing music too, whether with Screaming Trees or the Mark Lanegan Band or Queens of the Stone Age, or any of the slew of collaborative projects he worked on as well (his duet albums with Isobel Campbell come to mind). Looks like i know what i'm listening to for the rest of the day, starting with 2004's "When Your Number Isn't Up" below. RIP Mark Lanegan.
