Dawn, this post is for you...
I've been listening to Sun Kil Moon recently thanks to our fare Beniy. Sun Kil Moon is essentially former Red House Painters...well, yeah former Red House Painter (He was the band) Mark Kozelek. I must say I was a bit hesitant to pick up this album. I have a lot of great memories from RHP and was nervous to find that it was essentially the same thing, or worse an attempt at genius gone wrong (if that makes any sense). Well, I have been pleasantly surprised to find that the music is great. Sometimes "slit your wrists" great, sometimes "dance around the living room with your wife with the curtains open so everybody sees" great. I guess it's a great bi-polar masterpiece, but it's beautiful and that's what makes it great...beauty. YMMV
