sun kil moon?

i love old ramon but then i've never actually heard that bootleg

guitar tone on old ramon is the most gorgeous thing

kinda kozelek agnostic, but i love most of old ramon.

the best thing on Old Ramon is indeed Phil Carney's guitar.

channeling Steve Hackett

I hadn't yet picked up on the Hackett comparison, must now relisten

some bullshit about this in pitchfork: " "Suck my cock" is a command heard most often in two places: heterosexual porn, and schoolyard taunts between presumably straight boys" such a joyless reading i mean lots of people say suck my cock in contexts that are much more fun. i bet there are plenty of dyke power tops who have used it and meant it as an example, obviously there are more. if you presume everything takes place within the confines of straight white male sociality then of course everything can be read as the violent product of this culture but i mean who has the time

srsly who could think a mark kozelek song takes place within the confines of straight white male sociality

dude totally could be imitating dyke power tops

i just got a promo of mark's new solo album, and he has really gone off the deep end this time...

Did someone say power hops? Because I could sure go for a cool, refreshing 9% abv IPA.

War on Drugs, suck my hops

lol

I know tomorrow

Living with someone

Looked around for the Old Ramon song I loved and it's "Void". Fucking great song.

I haven't read the insults, listened to the song or read the articles, but all the controversy has put me in the most Kozelek hungry I've been in years.

"Kozelek. Now available with aspartame."

if you listen to the end of void, the intertwined lead guitars (which is carney overdubbed) absolutely sounds like Hackett circa Nursery Cryme.

I guess I'm an outlier but my favorite Kozelek period is Songs From a Blue Guitar/Old Ramon/If You Want Blood/Ghosts of the Great Highway.

yeah but you find what you want in a culture. a hermeneutics of intent is a pretty pointless way of reading anything but hey i guess you could ring up david lynch and ask him what the log lady means.

stop trying to lie to us like her log didn't see something that night

Is Retrospective worth getting for the demos and live versions?

No.

Yes.

it's ok. you can probably find it incredibly cheap.

Mission Accomplished.

plax otm

constant

damn yall some limber motherfuckers with the gymnastics in this thread

stop objectifying us

everybody's moved on to the Grimes/Ariel Pink beef now anyway

can't wait to see what next week has in store!

speaking of dried beef

BEEF CROSSOVER http://actuallygrimes.tumblr.com/post/98711973564/people-who-dont-like-the-smashing-pumpkins-can

survivorman once ate some beef that had crossed over

http://pitchfork.com/news/57253-mark-kozelek-adam-granofsky-blues/

oops he did it again

Seriously Mark. This is some full fledged bullying! I mean, I kinda had this theory that he's been doing this to clown all of the media outlets that are since Benji suddenly paying close attention to the things he's always been doing. But damn.

This guy went like five notches down in my esteem for his pointless, childish diss tracks.

to what granularity do you esteem?

Maybe he's trying to sabotage his recent new Benji fan base and get back to how it was before.

He had that little stupid dig at Nels Cline on Benji -- kind of funny but also just kind of insecure that there are people who play guitar better than him.

I always read that as him thinking Nels Cline's style was too noodle-y.

Yeah I'm sure that it's what he means (plays the little noodly lick after), but it also just reads to me as resentment. I just think it's weird that a dude his age still feels so much of that kind of resentment toward other musicians, especially in the midst of a semi-surprising resurgence in his career.

(I mean maybe he didn't know it was a resurgence when he wrote the Nels Cline line but certainly by the time he did the War on Drugs song).

Yeah that's what I mean though- like he's acting out so he can sabotage all the good will the resurgence brought him. Maybe it's getting to him.

I thought that the War on Drugs shenanigans were kinda funny - but I also think War on Drugs had the better album this year.

yawn this guy

i thought the initial dis was sort of amusing but fake laughing at the response is like barely better than complaining about "haters" as far as engaging in public beef goes
