*INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*

A gritty, gripping memoir by the singer Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, Soulsavers), chronicling his years as a singer and drug addict in Seattle in the '80s and '90s


"Mark Lanegan-primitive, brutal, and apocalyptic. What's not to love?"

--Nick Cave, author of The Sick Bag Song and The Death of Bunny Munro


When Mark Lanegan first arrived in Seattle in the mid-1980s, he was just "an arrogant, self-loathing redneck waster seeking transformation through rock 'n' roll." Little did he know that within less than a decade he would rise to fame as the frontman of the Screaming Trees and then fall from grace as a low-level crack dealer and a homeless heroin addict, all the while watching some of his closest friends rocket to the forefront of popular music. In Sing Backwards and Weep, Lanegan takes readers back to the sinister, needle-ridden streets of Seattle, to an alternative music scene that was simultaneously bursting with creativity and dripping with drugs. He tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of the Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favorites that scored a hit number five single on Billboard's alternative charts and landed a notorious performance on Late Night with David Letterman, where Lanegan appeared sporting a fresh black eye from a brawl the night before. This book also dives into Lanegan's personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, and the tragic deaths of his closest friends. From the back of the van to the front of the bar, from the hotel room to the emergency room, onstage, backstage, and everywhere in between, Sing Backwards and Weep reveals the abrasive underlining beneath one of the most romanticized decades in rock history-from a survivor who lived to tell the tale. Gritty, gripping, and unflinchingly raw, Sing Backwards and Weep is a book about more than just an extraordinary singer who watched his dreams catch fire and incinerate the ground beneath his feet. It's about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, and keep living and creating.

SURVIVED FLYING OFF A MOVING VEHICLE! BEST CASE EVER!
Color: Sakura Pink, Color: Sakura Pink
I don't leave many reviews, so the fact that I am even making an effort to leave one for this case should be testament enough on how impressed I've been with it. First off, the tl;dr: 5 STARS HOLY COW THIS HAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I bought this case for my clumsy 5 year old daughter. I thought she'd really like that it was pink and I liked that it had a handle that she could hold onto. I hoped that the spongy padding on the case would protect it from the hundreds of drops that it would inevitably have, but it was a cheap case. I could only be mad at myself if it broke. She really liked it, though. I did too. It was easy to install and fit perfectly. It gave great protection to her ipad, lets her prop it up on the table easily, and she can carry it from the handle. So I'd have given it 5 stars just based on all of those things along. What I did not expect was for me to accidentally sit the ipad on top of the car, forget it was there, and have my wife drive the car to the grocery store with it on top. It fell off less than a mile from our house and laid in the middle of the road in the light rain for a short amount of time before a good samaritan stopped and snagged it before it got ran over. She immediately checked the emergency contact on the ipad and my wife met with her to pick it up. What an angel of a woman. She also gets 5 stars, but I digress... I expected the ipad to be a total loss. As far as I know, the rain alone could have killed it because I didn't know how this case would handle any kind of liquids. And then I was sure a cheap case wouldn't be able to handle flying off a vehicle at 45mph and landing in the middle of the road. But let me tell you, THE CASE BARELY HAD A SCRATCH ON IT. The ipad is 100% perfectly fine. The case protected the ipad from the rain and even from my stupidity. The corner of the case had clearly been the point of impact. It was dirty on that corner, which mostly wiped off. The plastic hard shell part of the case had separated slightly, which I just had to squeeze the corner back into place and then we were good as new. My daughter never even knew it had been gone. This is the most positive 5 star review I've ever given. I'd buy 100 more of these if I had 100 more ipads. Don't even think about it, get this case and enjoy your piece of mind that it will be well protected... even when dad forgets it on top of the vehicle.

Great purchase! Will Buy Again.
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
Best purchase for my childs tablet. They are able to carry it like a cross-body with the strap or hold it with the handle. The handle is able to rotate in different directions to set up hands free on a table either longer way (landscape) or short (portrait). It has a hard case then the thicker silicone surrounding it. It does a great job protecting the tablet. My little one has dropped it plenty of times and it's still in great condition.

So far, indestructible.
Color: Coral Orange
Such a good case! For a 6 year old that isn’t exactly gentle with devices, it’s perfect. The swivel kick stand is pretty versatile, easy to find a comfortable angle to see the screen no matter which weird position your kid sits in. The color is really nice, the orange is soft and very pretty.

Sturdy just wish it could be adjusted to hang shorter
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
Very sturdy. Love the colors, easy for my 4 yr old to handle and use. Wish the length could be adjusted shorter for her though. When wearing, it tends to hang low by her knees.
