There's something about Oregon Winters, how bleak the days can be, the afternoons lazily going by, and getting used to the endless variety of cloud cover, be it white or cream-colored, that makes me think about Sun Kil Moon. There is something in the voice of Sun Kil Moon lead singer Mark Kozelek that seems to hit me with a stormy sense of arrival, the way it washes over my ears, and how somet...
For Sun Kil Moon's second album, Mark Kozelek (former lead singer of Red House Painters) chose to reinterpret the music of Modest Mouse, and somehow managed to pick most of my favorite Modest Mouse tunes from their canon. What resulted was a strange and eerie, yet beautiful, album. Here's a taste. Further reading can be found at "AllMusic":http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:n7tvad6k...
think about this one all you out there in mog-land.i'm buying a gift for someone who is a huge music lover. huge. i want to get him a record or two but i want them to be totally special and possibly something rare or hard to find (if i can find it!). his tastes are pretty broad...everything from led zepp and pink floyd (absolute favorites) to the dandy warhols to sigur ros and SO many things in...
I picked up this album after seeing Mark solo in Nashville. He played these songs acoustic as well as some Red House Painter material. He continues to be one of the only songwriters I know who can keep me riveted for a whole album. He is also the only artist whose entire collection I own. I have to say that "Trucker's Atlas" is probably my favorite track of this album right now.. but the who...

Don't get me wrong. I think the ocean is beautiful, but there is a reason I have lived in landlocked Ohio for 32 years. Things like this:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070222/ap_on_fe_st/new_zealand_colossal_squid_4I have this recurring dream all the time where I am floating on a tiny raft on the open sea in the middle of the night with nothing but black skies and water for as far as the eye can ...
It had been almost 12yrs since I had seen the ocean last...and I had never seen the Pacific Ocean...until today.I spent close to 4 hours walking up and down the beach...just listening to music and soaking everything in and taking pictures. Today was pretty much one of the best days of my life.Here is a picture i took...and a song I like...
I am in fact bored on a Friday night in the heart of Hollywood. But it is a sort of self induced boredom. It's a boredom born out of a lack of money at the moment, Which can, and hopefully will be soon, remedied. The sort of boredom I was coping with in Ohio was much, MUCH worse. Here, at my beloved intersection of Vine and Santa Monica, I can open the door, walk a few hundred feet, look in any...
