sun kil moon?

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.

I know tomorrow
You will be somewhere in London
Living with someone
you want some kind of trumpeter to play two
and that's just what i'm gonna give you
*solo*

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?

Is Retrospective worth getting for the demos and live versions?

No.

Yes.

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

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.

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

I think it would be funny coming from some 20-year-old upstart punk, it's not really funny coming from a guy that's not far from being some kind of indie eminence grise. Like even if he thinks War on Drugs is not interesting and shouldn't be as big as it is, where has the guy been? Is it really still surprising him by now that something he finds a little bland is popular?

not to defend it, but i don't think he really cares if these songs stand the test of time. he's trolling.

I don't think it's a new thought for him. It's just getting attention now.

Think he fancies himself 'a real blue collar SOB from the Midwest' and he's behaving like one.

bc he is one prbly

I thought midwesterners were supposed to be excessively polite

not in my experience!

Check it out, here's a new Sun Kil Moon song:

My dad is a really cool guy
One time we split a panini at Panera bread
four cousins were killed later that day in unrelated gravel pit tragedies
and when I got the news the radio was playing the song Limelight by Rush

...Rush can suck my cok

to be fair rush is fucking awful

but xpost yeah thats a pretty OTM caricature/summary of benji and of "confessional storytelling" koz

based on how he looks of late in publicity photos i would guess that a drinking problem of some severity might play into all this (as well as the obvious trolling factor/aspects of insecurity with fame and frustration w/ the indie press discussed above)

there was an article about the tiff from a female perspective (i.e. s&*k my c&*k) in the last day or two but now I can't find it

Thinking of the pitchfork article written by the lead from Perfect Pussy?

Yes, that's right...thanks!

this guy is a jackass

:-o

koz was sober/straight for years and years but I wouldn't be surprised to find out he is no longer

Is it really still surprising him by now that something he finds a little bland is popular?

lol @ idea that someone who steve reichs acoustic chords and hold steadys livejournal words over it in 2014 finds anything "bland"

take out whatever terrible line he has about his teenage sexuality and put in "that was the first time I drank blonde roast" and u got urself a buzzfeed-approved hit
