sun kil moon?

That would be amazing

i like 'steve reichs' as a verb.

could just say 'arpeggiate'

has the sun kiled the moon yet

lunacide

RIP moon i hardly knew u

Except arpeggiating chords isn't really a thing Steve Reich does a lot so?

let's not pick apart too much ppl i typed that in between mouthfuls of wheat thins

xp but it seems to be something koz does a lot but i could be mistaken

So you mean you can't type during the time when your mouth is full of wheat thins?

Or do you just mean that wheat thins, with their carb coma-inducing capacity, impair your ability to think clearly

think he means that the moments between wheat thins are frivolous

and franklin otm

Typing while eating wheat thins: succumb to my middle-aged white male privilege (or, I project self-loathing for failures of simultaneous wheat thin consumption and typing through the language of male violence aimed at unsuspecting individuals)

q: are your wheat thins 'popped'?

indeed, what is life but a series of frivolous moments in between mouthfuls of wheat thins, xp

my wheat thins are standard, except they are the "low sodium choice"

i find most snack foods are salted enough tyvm xp

'popped' wheat thins seem overly buttery to me.

but I am ignorant of the 'popping' process as applied to wheat thins so maybe it is required

how about you play one of your songs now, and I play wheat thins commercial guitar over it?

as long as u use electric chords

i will use saucy chords

something something something panera bread

philip glass & wheat thins join forces for astoundingly crunchy, minimally seasoned, zero-calorie 'glass thins'

wheat thins are expected to be a thematic thread throughout the next sun kil moon record

Ham on Reich/Lick My Thins

Salt Kil Fish

I Can't Live Without My Mother's Spinach Dip

we're goin' down the road, towards tiny cities made of crackers...

"And that was the same day I found out my great niece Kaitlin slipped and fell on some wheat thins"

kozelek is the racoon tanuki of folk rock

^^^^^BUUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN

koz gonna need time in the hospital for that, 2nd degree at least

if somehow he ends up in the hospital due to a booze relapse i'm prob gonna feel bad about saying that huh

Now Sings Christmas Carols finally comes out and it feels like an unwanted present from the obnoxious uncle you try and avoid at family gatherings. What happened in between? Kozelek saw the reaction he got from a typically cranky and offhand comment about War on Drugs’ music bleeding into his own at a festival and somehow thought releasing not one but two songs about it a would be amusing to someone other than himself (plus a t-shirt with another insult). Suffice to say the joke isn’t funny anymore, and Kozelek is looking pretty sad, not to mention that he’s probably alienating new fans he may have acquired since Benji’s release.

kozelek is looking pretty. pretty sad.

Is there a record somewhere of Kozelek seeing the reaction he got and then looking sad?

is there a picture of him somewhere not looking sad?

just looks kinda 'what?' there

but he is playing a character. there are no non-sad photos while not in character.

kinda funny how the best verse of the centerpiece track of this album is about apologizing for bullying someone for no good reason

ha! I had forgotten about that. He's just creating future material...

New song: "John Paul Jones Sucks At Keyboard"

Kozelek has not heard the No Quarter overdubs on the deluxe reissue

xpost or how about "I Can't Fucking Believe Zep Licensed 'Rock And Roll' For A Toyota Commercial I Am Now Hate-Watching While Drunk"

Dude.. That was Cadillac...

The Possum. http://www.sunkilmoon.com/skmpossum/

thoughts?

This dude has crawled up inside his own ass at this point.

I think it's great. I wish I could navigate a midlife crisis by recording a song about a dead possum and going to a Godflesh show instead of other mistakes that I have made.

I do wish that he would go back to his natural beautiful pipes instead of trying to do this Modest Mouse guy howling thing. It's kind of like if John Lennon ended up recording every song for the rest of his life in Yer Blues mode. I guess it's almost like some kind of natural law regarding genius that if you're really talented you have to sabotage it in some way through a combination of overthinking and trying too hard to get away from what you do best. But I like the song a lot.

Yeah, I'm not into it myself. He should maybe write a book and get the stream of conscious story telling out that way since he doesn't seem very interesting in "crafting" songs as of late.

Musically for him this is something he can shit out with absolutely no effort. I just with he would put some energy back into that aspect of his songwriting.

Mm, yeah, Benji is great and all but I haven't been able to listen to it more than one and a half times. Aside from the harrowing subject matter, just from a basic aesthetic sense it's not exactly a song format that bears repeated listens. I feel like on Old Ramon/Ghosts of the Great Highway/April he managed to fit his storytelling/confessional urges in a format that was more conducive to hitting the repeat button

It's funny, I only just now realized this, but the first time I ever heard GoTGH was on Thanksgiving, my friend sent it to me for no reason at all, and I opened up the package on t-giving and finally listened to it, like maybe 30 seconds of each song before I had to rush out of the house and go do holiday stuff, and I knew instantly that it was an amazing record -- it was that good. My friend advertised it to me by saying that he got stricken with a stomach virus and he was bedridden for several days in a row and just kept listening to the record on repeat. I can totally understand that -- he did something on that record that he hasn't been able to do since ... tho I do love April as well.
