Mark Lanegan, frustrated crooner

The world's best (and lowest) rock voice finds itself toying with ALL kinds of ungodly shit, and, since it's Mark Lanegan, makes it sound surprisingly good. Don't even get me going on the Abba cover ("Solitaire") ...there are also alternate treatments of Chelsea Wolfe's "Flatlands," Nancy's Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" and Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife."

Here are a couple samples, neither embeddable...but whatever.

"I'm Not the Loving Kind" (John Cale)

"Deepest Shade" (Twilight Singers)

Music Go Music

I have a little feature up today at Blurt in which I helpfully point out all the differences between Music Go Music and Abba.

Here's Music Go Music's "Warm in the Shadows", which, you may notice, sounds kinda like Abba.
