New Mark Kozelek live album out today; rare Red House Painters radio broadcast

Lots of things going on in the Kozelek world in the last month. As always, follow @sadreminders on Twitter for the latest news!

Mark Kozelek — Live at Union Chapel & Södra Teatern

Mark Kozelek returns with another live album available right now! It was recorded at the Union Chapel in London on July 29, 2010 and at Södra Teatern in Stockholm, October 25, 2010. The CD version is available for free with any purchase (except digital downloads) on Caldo Verde Records website. You can also download the digital version for $7.99 (in both MP3 and FLAC formats) and you’ll get “Randolph’s Tango” (a Thin Lizzy cover) that will also be available on the vinyl version. No date as to when the vinyl version will be released, but you can bet it will be limited.

I’ll Be There EP for sale

If you didn’t pick up Admiral Fell Promises from Caldo Verde’s site, then you never got the free I’ll Be There EP. The good news is that it’s available for purchase for $4.99, but there is a very limited quantity and they will not be repressed. And don’t forget – if you buy the EP, you’ll get the new live album for free!

Rare Red House Painters radio broadcast

Saving the best for last with this one. WREK in Atlanta, Georgia recently re-broadcast an in-studio session with Red House Painters from August 9, 1988 – their earliest known radio session. Recorded only 3 months after they formed, a young Mark Kozelek sings live in studio like you’ve never heard before. Among the live acoustic songs that Mark performs, there’s also 2 studio-recorded full-band tracks. It’s a rare glimpse into the early days of a singer/songwriter finding his voice – literally. Download the whole show here, or if you prefer the tracks cut up and named, click here.

Here are the tracks played:

• Thoughts In My Head (acoustic)
• I Miss You Virginia (acoustic)
• Surrounded (acoustic)
• Shackles and a Picture of the Key
• Nearly Clubbed to Death (acoustic)
• I Love You (acoustic)
• A Nice Place to Visit (acoustic)
• I Need To Lighten Up (acoustic)
• Surrounded
• The Starving (acoustic)

2011 tour dates; AFP vinyl; 2006 radio show

Happy holidays! It’s been a while since my last update, but that’s because there hasn’t been much going on in the Kozelek camp as of late. However, there’s been some recent activity I thought I’d recap.

A bunch of 2011 tour dates have surfaced on Mark’s official site. See the right sidebar for those. I expect more US dates will trickle in over the next few months.

If you were lucky enough to snag one, Mark had some numbered, autographed marbled vinyl Admiral Fell Promises albums up for sale on Caldo Verde last month for $50, but that didn’t last more than a day. I tweeted it out when I found out about it, so definitely follow @sadreminders for timelier updates. The white vinyl versions have sold out, but you can grab one on eBay for some ridiculous amount of money. If you’re not worried about color, you can still grab the standard black vinyl version at Aural Exploits or Insound for about $25. All of the different versions have 2 extra tracks recorded live in France.

Finally, forum user seven1082000 spotted a 28-minute radio show and acoustic performance over on archive.org from KEXP on January 13, 2006. Tracks played: Four-Fingered Fisherman, Tiny Cities Made of Ashes, Salvador Sanchez and an amazing version of Bubble. If you use Google Chrome, you’ll be able to stream the file, or there’s a link to download as an MP3 as well.

Change to upcoming Spanish tour dates; AFP vinyl

A couple things going on in the Sun Kil Moon camp as of late.

Without any warning, the Spanish dates have been cancelled with the exception of Barcelona, which is now 2 nights at Heliogàbal. He’s appearing October 22 and 23rd. Updated tour dates and links are in the right sidebar.

All 1000 copies of the white vinyl version of Admiral Fell Promises are sold out through Caldo Verde, but are still available at Aural Exploits. Aural Exploits should also have the regular black vinyl versions up soon.

Additionally, for those going to the Scandinavian dates, there will be 100 copies of a marbled vinyl version that will be exclusive to those shows later this month.
