Mark Kozelek

My i-pod has re-educated my listening behavior.  I have over 3,000
songs that play randomly from A.C. Newman to the Zombies. 
At times I come across songs I’d never heard before and some I’m sick
of hearing, but one album I never seem to tire of is the amazing “What’s Next to the Moon” by Mark Kozelek.  If you know nothing about Kozelek’s other projects, the Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon,
you must investigate that here.  The story behind “What’s Next to
the Moon” is Kozelek’s love for the music that many of us 30-somethings
grew up with, KISS, AC/DC, Neil Young, the Pointer Sisters
(kidding).  In “What’s Next to the Moon” Kozelek covers 10 AC/DC
songs, but I would go as far as saying he “improves” some. 
Kozelek’s unique sense of melody and phrasing is simply beautiful and has rightly become his signature
trademark (his songs are immediately recognizable).  Here are some
partial tracks made possible by Badman Records that put out “What’s Next to the Moon” from San Francisco:

Mark Kozeleck : Love at First Feel
Mark Kozelek : Up to My Neck You
