TUESDAY BLUES

Say "cheese"...

Sun Kil Moon - Truck Driver 

Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon) is certainly a marmite artist, you either love him or hate him.  I choose the former but I do admit that he is heavy going.  He's a story teller of the highest order, and like Shakespeare, there's often a tragedy involved.  So when the track starts with, "My uncle died in a fire on his birthday..",  you know that the song is not something you'll be playing at a wedding.

I think it's all a persona, but he recently called an audience as "fucking hillbillies" and told people to "shut the fuck up" while performing at a music festival in America.  I think it was the audience's fault, but I also thought I was going to be on his hit list, when a few years ago, he stared at my misses yawning at one of his gigs in Dublin.  I guess it was my fault as we were both tired and I'd promised her a romantic weekend, with the Saturday night love-fest including a gig watching Mr Kozelek.  She hasn't liked marmite ever since.
