Biography
However, Kozelek’s parting with the record label 4AD, followed by a major label merger which left Red House Painters’ 1998 album Old Ramon on the shelf, proved highly frustrating and stifled the group’s momentum. Kozelek opted to occupy himself with a series of idiosyncratic solo recordings as Red House Painters dissolved.
In 2000, he released the solo EP Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer, which featured three original songs as well as covers of John Denver’s “Around and Around” and three AC/DC songs (“Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer,” “Bad Boy Boogie,” and “You Ain’t Got a Hold on Me”). Two of the AC/DC cover versions on Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer were radical re-arrangements of the originals which removed the Bon Scott-penned lyrics from their hard rock context and placed them into gentle, acoustic “folk ballad” settings.
Kozelek expanded on this idea in 2001, releasing a full-length album comprised solely of AC/DC covers titled What’s Next to the Moon.These new arrangements sounded so unlike the originals that a KCRW radio executive insisted that the title track was a Leonard Cohen song.

Saw him for the first time in Stockholm last year, day after the live recording of I Killed Mommy on I Like Rats. Just incredible, in every way.

Does anyone know the two new songs he's using in his setlist? If so could you please let me know? http://www.panicmanual.com/2012/10/08/concert-review-mark-kozelek-october-3-the-great-hall-toronto/ Agree Duk Koo Kim is an amazing choice to end the show.

enjoyable performance in philadelphia last night. concluded his set with duk koo kim; a good choice. mark seemed rather enamored with a young woman in the front row named megan. he complimented the audience on our 'man woman ratio'.

One of the most underappreciated artists out there. I really hope I can find the time to fly down to Copenhagen to see him live in November!

His documentary dvd is brilliant.

I really liked the first EP and album, but later on in his solo work, Mark kinda changed his style of singing. It sounds higher-pitched and reminds me of Jose Gonzalez. Not really digging that.
