Pretty upset I didn't get to see Morphine before Mark Sandman passed. I ALMOST did. We were going to, and then we found out that he was gone.

Mark MADE his own 'bassitars' - they have only a couple strings (you can see one in this first video!)

I got hooked in the 90s with "Sharks" and this RIDICULOUSLY good song, "Honey White"

and then "Souvenir" was from their last album, The Night, in 2000. I listened to this album a TON. Guy was a genius. RIP

Evening listening: Vapors of Morphine - Fear And Fantasy. Successor band to the '90s indie alternative stars Morphine continues the "low rock" legacy. Louisiana blues man Jeremy Lyons admirably takes over Mark Sandman's frontman role and adds to the repertoire and sonic palette, along with Morphine saxophonist Dana Colley, original Morphine drummer Jerome Deupree, and new drummer Tom Arey. They're great live too!
