I've been listening to Sun Kil Moon a lot lately, along with Red House Painters, and I've decided Kozelek is a great songwriter.

Then you go an muss it all up with that gaggy Death Cab. Ugh. :D

@gapechouinard: Sorry :p

I'm on as much of a Kozelek kick myself at the moment - not just an amazing songwriter, but an amazing interpreter of other people's songs. Check out "What's Next To The Moon", his "solo" album of the most unlikely AC/DC covers you will ever hear.

Thanks for the comments!

Don't understand the negativity towards Death Cab, Mr.Gabe. I'm a big fan of the Indelicates at the moment.
