A letter to Mark Lanegan

Hi Mark, here’s Zack from the NYC.

I just wanted to thank you. If someone could show me the soul of music, it would look a lot like you. Screaming Trees was a dramatic grunge-act for me, I never got over your magical voice, whitch, I’ve heard, you have treated with drugs and whiskey. If everyone did, we would live in a warmer world.

QOTSA was cool too. Though I never thought you were you in the band, no one can growl as great as you do in The Song For the Dead. That just wasn’t the flame that set my insides on fire, it was The Gutter Twins that did that. You rock so hard it’s uncomprehendable. I think Saturnalia is the album which I always hoped you would make. A dark, soulful combination of your previous work and Dulli’s has a sense of purpose in it. As I drift through the whole album I find that life is worth living as boring as it may seem.

Shit, you touch me man. Thanks a lot.

Yours Sincerely

-Zack Snyder
