your favorite of the mark kozelek canon

hate it when i fuck my voice out

thank god I have posting on ilx as an outlet

More grist for the Toronto vs. Montreal feud.

I remember checking out the rollercoaster s/t in the early 00s and feeling immensely disappointed because it was nowhere near as depressing as the critics made it out to be, so I never explored the rest of his output.

Sometimes I worry, Pom.

Haha, that was almost twenty years ago. Almost everything had to achieve the same degree of anguish as the fifth movement of Schnittke's 4th String Quartet or I wasn't interested.

I feel like Pomenitul would have been my friend 20 years ago. If I'd had friends.

I've made some progress in the interim, but I can still be your trve miserablist friend.

I feel like I'm reading a eulogy thread

rollercoaster is one of my favorite albums, and i love depressing music, but I don't think it's really 'depressing'. it's melancholy.

Poll: Is Mark Kozelek dead to you?
- Yes
- No

OK in conclusion I will pretend Young Love was the actual final song on AFP, he quits music, then a few years later the material from Among The Leaves comes out but as part of a SKM b-sides and rarities comp. I'll just assume that's how it went down.

'Pristine' by Snail Mail sounds like 'San Geronimo' sped up. That was driving me crazy.

real real bleak stuff

He's a predator with a practiced regimen of luring and raping women less than half his age in city after city all over the world. There are surely more of these stories.

What a repulsive excuse for a human being.

I feel like I need to take a shower after reading about this scumbag.

you can hear the rot from the start on rollercoaster; from grace cathedral park:

Tell me why are you like this? Are you the same with anyone?
Save me from my sickness and tell me why do you treat me like this?
Tell me why are you like this? Are you the same with anyone?
Save me from my sickness and tell me why are you like this?

i think i know the answers to those questions!!

i never want to hear his music again

I've been there for a few years (ever since that weird unilateral feud with War on Drugs), but this really reinforces it x1000.

This I guess is the AITA thread referenced in the Pitchfork article, although the original seems to be gone now.

AITA for feeling weird about my girlfriend talking on the phone with her celebrity hero? https://t.co/rmCeysvTCP pic.twitter.com/UmsxJjldcS
