>On Tuesday night, Mark Kozelek played a show in Lincoln, Nebraska to under 25 people, The Daily Nebraskan reports, who reviewed the concert as “more like a friendly house party than a show, with Kozelek as the crowd’s host and primary entertainer.” The venue, the Vega, has a capacity of approximately 400 — “Whether it’s a sold out show for 350 or an intimate gathering of 25, our goal is to provide you with an experience that is fun, memorable, and affordable,” their website states.
>As with any Mark Kozelek show, it does seem to have been memorable. After telling the audience that the place was packed when he performed there last year and saying that “There was a four-hour delay for my flight in Denver today. It’s been a long day, and I’m tired so I’m just gonna go ahead and do whatever the **** I want,” Kozelek opened the show with an a cappella rendition of “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.” Before performing “The Possum” off of his most recent album, Universal Themes, he said, “This next song is off a really good album and that’s according to everybody but Pitchfork, who apparently found out that I’m a bad person.” He followed that up by playing Benji’s “I Can’t Live Without My Mother’s Love,” remarking, “Now this song is off a really, really, really, really good album according to Pitchfork. But that was before they found out I was a bad person.”
>According to The Daily Nebraskan, “Laughter wasn’t uncommon during the show, and Kozelek often poked fun at the primarily male audience saying he missed the days when girls actually came to his shows and then he asked several members of the crowd where their girlfriends were at.”

>primarily male audience saying he missed the days when girls actually came to his shows and then he asked several members of the crowd where their girlfriends were at.
He's done this at every show and it's kind of cringy after you've seen it for the third night in a row. He has like a part-time stand up comedy routine.

maybe he ruined his own career. respecting women and people of other races shoiuld be expected of everyone when someone doesnt they dont deserve support.
it makes me sad that i related so much to him on the early rhp records when i was in my early teens. now i feel disgusted that i could have anything in common with this man
literally who

Making fun of one woman in a rather mean spirited way doesn't necessarily mean he's racist or sexist. It just means he can be a bit of an ass.
>>60520280
Grow some balls okay kiddo?

He told off one woman who criticized him. Female or not the person deserved it, but it's easy to play the victim
He was supposed to play the Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas tonight but his slot got filled by someone else. Then I heard the Granada booked him, but he's not on their calendar, so I'm assuming the show's been canceled. I'll definitely come the next chance I get though.

just from reading the guardian article that laura snapes wrote i can tell that he was frustrated from her contacting him and his associate constantly, and he was clearly taking the piss with everything he was saying. it's not necessarily because she was a woman, he's just kind of a dick about a lot of things.
>>60520280
stop putting people on a pedestal. really, artists are just human beings. the music is what matters.
>>60519808
>spotlight shines on you
>mark kozelek asks you where your girlfriend is
>tells you that the venue has a no singles policy

>>60520737
