Red House Painters

RE: Red House Painters | from ronNov 06 2004 - 09:40

yeah. he's a little hard to take sometimes, i think. i think it just shows how sort of uncomfortable he is with stuff. or maybe he is just kind of a rude guy. when i met him (and subsequently hung out with him) he was nice. but maybe that's because he was digging on my girlfriend's friend. (see: the story i posted here about the time i met and hung out with mark kozelek).

i haven't been listening to rhp a lot lately. mark kozelek was kind of rude to the people in the audience when i saw him play with sun kil moon here in stockholm. it does matter to me if the artist i admire is a prick. but of course i still think the first four rhp records are classic releases.

i had a red house painter around this morning, he was lalalala-ing all the time so i left.

Strawberry Hill has always been my favorite. Something about "It's our duty, to show him new life..."
I've seen RHP three times, and Mark solo I think 4 times. He's a dufus, always saying how bad he is, when all you want him to do is play. He also complains if someone takes a picture. Other great songs: Grace Cathedral Park, Medicine Bottle, Japanese to English, Drop, New Jersey (electric), Uncle Joe, Make Like Paper, Smokey, Sundays and Holdiays...

I love all the early Red House Painters. The last couple albums and Sun Kil Moon suck and I don't really like his solo albums either.

Oops. That's funny. What's the difference? A friend of mine once said to Mark Kozelek (as a joke)"hey you're the lead singer from the red hot chilli peppers aren't you?". Kozelek then laughed.

RE: Red House Painters | from MatOct 26 2004 - 08:13

Hee.. I think any Kozelek LP is not a true Chilie Peppers album.

RE: Red House Painters | from Rob SOct 26 2004 - 03:10

Not at this message board.

Katy song. Uncle joe, Smokey (Eyes), Things mean alot, Michael, Brown Eyes, Grace cathdral park. Sundays and holidays. drop. moments.

I am also not a huge fan of songs from a blue guitar (it is really a Koz solo album and NOT a true RHCP album). Old Ramon is a little under par too.
Sun Kill Moon is a good return to form.

Alex, C, Ron and Rip:

I think you guys are fantastic, some amazing choices there. So hard to find RHP fans.

Mat.

RE: Red House Painters | from cOct 25 2004 - 10:07

I love the first 4 albums (especially the 2nd self-titled one, which is my favorite), but kozelek lost me after that. There are only 2 tracks on Old Ramon that I like ("river" and "void"), and Songs For A Blue Guitar does nothing for me.

I think the Sun Kil Moon record is fantastic, but not many others seem to feel the same way.
