	Mark Kozelek: Indie/Folk Rock
		Mark Kozelek, the primary creative force behind Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon, is one of the most gifted singer/songwriters of the past fifteen years.
		Mark Kozelek has certainly made no secrets about the influence John Denver has had on his music and as a person, and his version of Denver’s "Around And Around" is perhaps the most appropriate choice for Kozelek, as the sentiments expressed within this song parallel those common to his own.
		The genius of this work is in Kozelek’s ability to portray these words in such a way that they speak to the eternal spark of youthful dreams and yearnings, emphasizing their adolescent innocence and sprinkling them with a little heartfelt sadness.

	Turntable + Blue Light: Mark Kozelek's Tiny Cities
		If you know the name Mark Kozelek, it’s probably from his tenure as frontman for the Red House Painters, one of the handful of bands responsible for the slowcore movement of the early 90s.
		Kozelek had never been privy to America’s favorite indie rock band until he stumbled upon them by chance – he had gone to see the Shins, opening for Modest Mouse, and ended up staying for the main event.
		The Kozelek treatment strips the groove and bombast away, and instead opts for a slow, acoustic arrangement with flourishes of strings – an arrangement that still startles me each time I hear it.

	Mark Kozelek
		Kozelek has been making some of the quietest and saddest music on the rock scene for more than 15 years, first as the frontman for San Francisco's Red House Painter and later as a solo artist and his current combo Sun Kil Moon.
		Kozelek is touring in support of "Tiny Cities," his second Sun Kil Moon album -- not with that group of musicians but as a solo artist occasionally augmented by the Red House Painters' Phil Carney, who like Kozelek played acoustic guitar.
		Kozelek's own "Glenn Tipton" is a song in which the narrator reminisces about Judas Priest's guitar players, boxers and his father before revealing that he killed his first victim at 19.

	Sad Reminders ~ an unofficial Mark Kozelek site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For many, the introduction to musician Mark Kozelek's artistry came in 1992 when after nearly a minute of whispering guitar, a pristine voice rose out, haunting and inhabiting the air it traveled.
		On the cusp of adulthood, Kozelek, along with band mates in the trio God Forbid (an all-too-apt moniker that continues to grace his publishing efforts), headed to Atlanta.
		Interest was fierce at first, but once Kozelek intimated that the lyrics were not his own, he found himself essentially alone, marooned from those who only minutes before were showering him with chauffeured rides and roses.

		Kozelek, on the other hand, has made an art form of it, and he does nothing less than that on this mesmerizing transmogrification.
		Kozelek literally turns the melodies inside out, and extracts a poignancy that even Angus and Malcolm Young and Bon Scott probably had no idea existed in them.
		The album is probably not the spot in Kozelek's catalog at which to dive in, simply because it doesn't represent his own exceptional songwriting skill, but it is nevertheless another sublime album that offers a curious window into both his musical foundation and inventiveness.

		Mark Kozelek is the reigning king of downer folk-rock.
		Kozelek’s take on this tune, however, strips it of its unsavory bravado to reveal a rueful and bluesy core.
		Fans of Mark Kozelek may be disappointed to note that three of the songs on this record were also on last year’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Singer.

	Mark Kozelek: Live in Buffalo, NY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		While tonight’s opener Brian Wheat sings of faded hopes and distant dreams accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, Mark Kozelek sits alone in a dark corner of the Mohawk Place, eyes turned downward, beer in hand, motionless as if lost in drifting memories.
		The songs he sings are of life and of love, of joys and of sorrows, and express the beauty of life’s highs and lows in emotionally genuine form, never faltering from pretension.
		Mark’s withdrawn character keeps him from making direct eye contact with his audience, taking only brief and quick glances before settling his eyes back on his instrument.

		Mark Kozelek has been putting out great music for a long time, from the early Red House Painters' output all the way to his recent "Ghosts of the Great Highway" under his new band's banner, Sun Kil Moon.
		Mark Kozelek's debut solo LP is a superb rendering of 10 lesser-known (to these sensitive ears at least) Bon Scott-era AC/DC songs.
		Kozelek extracts every last drop of the macho hard-rock-isms that originally infected these tracks and transforms them with his acoustic guitar into gentile, Sunday-morning folk songs of the highest order.

		Mark Kozelek, the founder of the Red House Painters and current architect of Sun Kil Moon, is one of the most original, emotionally affecting, and haunting songwriters out there.
		Like that fictional monk, Kozelek's longing will never be fully sated; but outlining the shape of the pain itself becomes a way of talking about how difficult it is to be alive.
		Kozelek's treatments of his songs are both reverent and fresh.

		Mark Kozelek might be his generation's finest crooner of '70s schmaltz.

		Kozelek transforms "You Ain't Got a Hold on Me," one of the disc's three Bon Scott-era AC/DC covers, into a vulnerable plea with his moving falsetto.

		But they were so pleasant that most of us were willing to overlook Kozelek's numbing consistency-- or, at least, we couldn't bring ourselves to criticize such an apparently delicate man. Kozelek, after all, was addicted to drugs by the age of ten.
		Kozelek didn't yield, and took the record to Supreme Recordings, which released the album as it was.
		And Kozelek's vocals hit previously uncharted highs on "You Ain't Got a Hold on Me," where he briefly inhabits the ghost of the sane Brian Wilson.

		Kozelek was a troubled teenager in the 1980s, being addicted to drugs at a very early age.
		The record was also greatly uncharacteristic of Kozelek (though he was prone to enjoy covering songs by his favorite artists) in that it is the shortest full length to date clocking in at just over thirty minutes.

		When Kozelek released What's Next To The Moon, a 2001 ode to Bon Scott-era AC/DC, it seemed like he'd taken his cover-song fascination as far as it could go, but his latest album under the Sun Kil Moon moniker is even more ambitious, because he's tackled a wildly popular, still-active band.

	Mark Kozelek Album Reviews
		However, even though Kozelek’s interpretations left many people – myself included – clueless, they do work as Kozelek-songs, especially “Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer,” which – because of the presence of subtle drum and bass-flourishes – finds a nice balance between simple rock and tranquil folk.
		It’s quite depressing and one of the most touching songs Kozelek has ever written, which is kinda ironic, as the majority of his material seems to deal with his own, personal soul-cleansing.
		Anyway, while some of these re-workings, like the lengthy “Bad Boy Boogie” with its all too dragging chorus, and the unremarkable “Walk All Over You” (while many people probably suggest Kozelek’s exploration of his higher register is among the highlights), are usually skipped at Peters Towers, some of them certainly left their mark.
