Long Distance Runaround
I've slacked again on updating (ahem, Paul, you were supposed to have my back), but that's only because I'm conserving my musical appetite for tonight's Mark Kozelek show at Bowery Ballroom. The beautiful voice and talent of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon, I have been eagerly awaiting tonight's show for the past month and some days since I bought the tickets.
I first fell in love with Red House Painters around age 15. My then crush made me a mixtape and the "I Am A Rock" cover was on it... amongst Swirlies, My Bloody Valentine and other indie-cred-ible bands. I must have played that track so many times that the actual tape wore out in one spot only.
Now here it is, almost 10 years later, and I'm finally seeing the man behind getting me through many emotionally hard times... and the best makeout sessions I've ever had.
Here are some of my favorites for crying and necking (but not in that order)...

A wonderful show wasn´t it? I spent some days in new york, and to my joy I found out that Kozelek was playing. Was it you who had a friend who had lost her voice, and who had a friend whom I surely wanted to speak to a little more, but who said goodbye to me just before the last song ended? I got even more mellow after that, aside from Kozelek´s sad songs....

I was there too. right in front, between the moniters. mark was in such a better mood than the last time I saw him play solo, about a year ago. it was an amazing show, I agree. I wrote two posts on him recently, if your interested:
