Saw Earth preform Earth 2 the night before Thanksgiving at The Moore, Seattle. Jesse Sykes opened and Sunn O closed. Looked up every once and a while during the Earth set, thinking of Lanegan. There was a lot of magic that night.

So happy you got to see Earth 2 performed in LA with some lovely people. THANK YOU for sharing.

The new pup is precious.

This blog is light in the darkness.

Missed your entries so much!

Onyx is a beautiful name for the beautiful baby! Love it that you adopted the last smallest puppy of the litter. Rainer's reaction is priceless. I figured why I'm so happy about your new puppy: puppies are a natural source of joy and happiness, that means you, Amy and Rainer now have more joy and happiness every day, and knowing it feels my heart with joy 🖤

As for the store I'd like to see Love incense reissued, samples of Death incense, and your merch and zines, as these are the only things I can afford ordering unfortunately, cause shipping and double tax are just merciless.

Hope you're having a great day.

Awww. Love that you got Rainer a buddy and love how happy he looks upon seeing this pooch. Puppers give so much and ask for so little.

Please tell me that Charo said “cuchi-cuchi” at least once during your visit .

Played Dark Mark Does Christmas a few times this month. Glad Rainier had that moment.

I missed out on a chance to see Earth at the Crocodile years back. Would love to see them live. Literally bumped into Dylan on accident at a Lanegan show at the Showbox. He was very nice.

Hi Wes-Congrats on a successful tour! Say, I purchased a T from your Grailed collection a while back & the fragrance on the garment I've been wanting to know ever since. Do you recall or are able to say? Your scented products are pretty crazy good. And people & animals who jump to their deaths, totally disconcerting always by any means. omg let it never be so.

Love the new Beautiful doggo.

Things i would like to see would be maybe small company clothing, as long as it's not super expensive. I quite loved it also when you released the incense. Wish you guys a happy new year ahead of time. Xxxooo

My partner and I have a shih tzu and 2 cats and often they make me believe there's good in this world. Animals are just the best. Congrats on the new family member.

After seeing a photo of Onyx, it's the perfect name for the new family member. Like others have written, Rainer's reaction brought a tear to my eyes as well. A present Rainer will never forget.

Will definitely be listening to ML's O Holy Night (my favorite) off his Christmas album. Love it when he would sing in his higher register and hit those high notes. Just beautiful. Coventry Carol, also from DMDC, is another good one which I think Mark sings acapella.

It's hard to come back to reality after living at such high speed. Good time to learn to b r e a t h e again.

Thank you for "touching base".
