Replicating the previous post in intent, this is another trawling of user created treasure from YouTube. Previously we saw Timebomb 72's interpretation of Elliot Smith's 'Rose Parade', done with old found home movies...Compulsively viewable, i really want to crawl inside and know more of the stories, and more than anything, what Mr. Smith's reaction to this would have been...
Today, we'll tackle Katamai's vision of Sun Kil Moon's 'Moorestown'...Sun Kil Moon is the continuing adventures of singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, who favors acoustic guitar and epic interior laments. Over the years he has incorporated a very specific visual aesthetic into his work, and the beauty of this user-professed 'quickly thrown together video of a drive' is how neatly it dovetails with the mood of Kozelek's song...
'April' is Sun Kil Moon's latest, perhaps a high water mark in a career spent pursuing a singularly idiosyncratic vision, coming to terms with ghosts of the past, yet setting the table to look forward. Over repeated listenings, the simple song structures unfold...
Major thanks to these users for sharing their visions...

Still digging Mr. Kozelek's stuff - even though the name changes don't seem to mean much.
ReplyDeleteno, indeed, personnel reoccur, artwork never changes, etc. as long as he keeps being him...
ReplyDeletenot to unnecessarily pimp my dog Bogart, but the soundtrack to this is a full band version of 'Carry Me Ohio' that absolutely rocks...

ReplyDeleteI rarely go to shows anymore - little one makes that difficult. I think the last one I saw was The Hold Steady when they came through after the 2nd album..
