Bummed out his show in Chicago is sold out, especially since the venue is five blocks from my house.

That's the good and bad of live music in a city like this, lots of great shows swing through town but a much greater chance of them selling out before you get a chance to grab tickets.

My memory is hazy, but when I saw them live, it was a portly guy who was picking out all those beautiful appregios
i don't know when you saw them but if it was in the early 90's then you must be thinking of Gorden Mack, but he hasn't played with them since 94 (in fact, he stopped playing music altogether I think). Phil Carney played guitar with them later, but he wasn't portly. Kozelek might be seen as portly from time to time

It must have been Gorden Mack . It was at the much lamented Duchess of York in Leeds - 93/94?
Gorden probably wasn't even that portly - maybe it was his oversize specs? Something was incongruous with the music he was producing from his guitar. I don't think he was sat on the crapper or anything.
Again, hazy, but whoever it was was had the electric guitar right stage of Kozelek , the latter mainly on acoustic?

I found this article I cut out years ago. I think it was from Melody Maker, but it might have been NME. I've kept it for years, it cracked me up.

I have mp3 of Kozelek playing a radio show in 1988

I used to swear by "Mistress," but in the end it's all about "Summer Dress." RHP are the cat's pajamas and all, but I think the Sun Kil Moon albums are even better. Cheers to aging gracefully!

Sometimes it gets no better than the Bridge version of "New Jersey". Just listened to it three times in a row.

"uncle joe" from bridge really strikes a raw nerve with me these days. i think it might be to do with the lyrics.

Wow, I had no idea he was going to be on - thanks for linking, Evan.
And yr dead right, *what* a treat. Both great performances, I've been playing the hell out of Among the Leaves recently, enjoying it more and more. So great to hear and see Koz on the TV :)

Neither did I! I heard some so-so things about the new record but it's hard to not love everything this guy releases, so I need to listen to the rest of it.

an observation on the (kind of) under-appreciated Bridge album:
