sun kil moon?

Yeah that was my thought too, more or less.

ilm busts out the extra powerful textual analysis magnifying glass for sun kil moon song "war on drugs: suck my cock"

great thread

anyways, fuck this guy imo

Admiral Fell Promises forever! (also ghosts)

April is good too.

maybe MK and chris ott (if he hasn't clipped himself yet) could band together and form like the hipsterati version of that MRA group a voice for men can you imagine the thinkpieces and (justified) outrage that would spawn.

hey mark and chris if you see this i'd like my intellectual property payment in ones and fives please

Is there any real consensus on the best Kozelek releases?

As I said earlier, I think the first two RHP albums are amongst the best music I've ever heard. The 3rd album and the 1st EP are in that same sweet area.
Ocean Beach and Old Ramon was mostly lukewarm for me but had some great tracks too. I really love Songs For A Blue Guitar.
Haven't heard the RHP tribute album stuff (was it the John Denver one with Slowdive's Rachel Goswell? I heard that was the last RHP stuff).

I mostly liked Ghosts Of The Great Highway, especially the incredible "Duk Koo Kim".
I mildly enjoyed April and didn't get much from Admiral Fell Promises. Some people vastly prefer Sun Kil Moon to early RHP but I just don't get that.

My ranking

Red House Painters- I (rollercoaster)
Red House Painters- Down Colorful Hill
Red House Painters- Songs For A Blue Guitar
Red House Painters- II (bridge)
Sun Kil Moon- Ghosts Of The Great Highway
Red House Painters- Shock Me EP
Red House Painters- Ocean Beach
Sun Kil Moon- April
Red House Painters- Old Ramon
Sun Kil Moon- Admiral Fell Promises

What do you recommend next? Are the AC/DC cover albums still favourites?

guys...sayin "fuck this guy"...not really that diff from him tellin war on drugs bro to suck his cock...

...think about it

#whoa

#STAYWOKE

mind blown

sorry mark kozelek

In no way does the ilx poster actually want mark kozelek fucked by the other posters of ilx. Who fucks kozelek? Like seriously, I look at him and think 'who would fuck kozelek?' Can you believe I work in a bank? You're losing it guy, and it shows. But at night, I'm crazy. I'm the king of the blogs. Fuck this guy, right?! Fuck this guy!

I don't really care much about Sun Kil Moon or Perfect Pussy, but I thought that was a good essay. Also I like War on Drugs a lot. So fuck this guy.

jfc yall are fuckin morons sometimes

Who's fucking Christ? Not kozelek.

Who's fuckin morons? Not kozelek.

aaahahahahahaha outstanding

Drew Daniel from Matmos kind of dropped some knowledge on this topic:

OTM. The ageist parts of the essay didn't even make sense anyway.

also, the two main ottawa folk festival stages did point directly at each other this year. they at least angled them away from each other in previous years. come on, ottawa!

Yeah, it was weird. Mark Kozelek isn't sliding into irelevance, he is more popular than ever. And actually, 'white guys who were big in the nineties' is pretty much the new black in the industry atm. None of those are particularly good things, imo, but it is what it is.

Right, and he didn't choose John Mellencamp because he's an old dude trying to stay relevant to the younger crowd. He chose Mellencamp because he is trying to punch up. He thinks he is punching up at TWOD as well, and he is in some ways. Still, the pitchfork essay was worthwhile given the praise and exposure given to his choice of hate filled language. It's just weird that the essay also contains this incorrect and ageist analysis of kozelek's motivation for his word choice.

he covered Ted Nugent recently. He is not gunning for the hearts of youngsters.

it's all over now, baby blue

It's absurd to me that this incident has received such extended analysis. That said, Drew kinda nails it.

Oh, and Robert, I'm generally with you on your rankings. Rock and Roll Singer should be next on your search list. Also the Hultsfred 1997 live versions of Old Ramon tracks are far superior to the studio versions.

stone temple pilots, they're elegant bachelors

Thanks Doug.

old ramon was a huge disappointment when it finally came out. we sat around and waited to hear that for years. it's less irritating now but at the time, eh.

Is that live bootleg big among fans? There is one song in particular I'd love to hear but can't remember the title.

Sorry that the clip doesn't embed.

Listening to it now, I'm baffled by how P4k could get so excited about Benji. It's like stanning for Lou Reed's Take No Prisoners at the expense of the entire back-catalog of the Velvet Underground.

Take No Prisoners rules!

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
