>Dear Phil,
>The other day, I did something that I’m normally used to doing: I pirated your album, The Glow pt. 2. I didn’t even think about it as I clicked the download button. I just heard from a lot of music sites and message boards that it was a great album, and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Once the zip file loaded, I immediately gave it a listen. Once the title track came on, I was immediately interested. When the next song came along, I was invested. After listening to the album a couple of times, and giving it some time to digest, I fell in love with the album.
>A couple of days later, I did something that I’m normally not used to doing: I bought your album. I didn’t even buy it from iTunes or Amazon; I bought it from your label. I rarely even buy albums, let alone physically. I only do it when I really like an album or if I’m interested in the artist or band who made it. Being a high schooler, I’m usually strapped for cash, so I usually get CD rips from online sources. (I recently got a job, so I think this habit will likely go away.) However, this album was so good, that I had to buy it.
>I wrote this letter as a way of saying thanks for what you do. The Glow pt. 2 will very likely become one of my favorite albums in my collection. I haven’t listened to the Mount Eerie album yet aside from a couple of songs online (I heard it’s just as good, if not, better than The Glow), and I haven’t really delved into the Mount Eerie discography yet (I really want to listen to Wind’s Poem since I’ve been interested in black metal recently as well). However, once I earn more money, I will hopefully be able to get some more albums. Anyways, keep up the good work. I hope to be purchasing from you more often.
>Thanks.

>Hi (name),
>Thanks for writing, and thanks for liking my album. I’m grateful you bought it, especially from me directly. That’s certainly the best way.
>I do have to say that the general message of your letter is a great example of the precarious future that artists and musicians find themselves in in 2015. In the past a “fan letter” would naturally have come from a starting point of financial support. Nowadays the norm is to say “I like your music so much I did a crazy radical thing: I supported you financially.” I realize this makes sense to you given that you are in high school and have grown up in a world where everything is free on the internet and the necessity of paying for music is not a given. It is probably easy to tell yourself a story about how artists don’t need the money that bad and pirating is no big deal, and in many cases this is certainly true. I have done it too.

>But what is striking to me is the shift in what’s “normal”. We are approaching a time when it is unusual and special to pay for music. You are a good dude, writing a kind and earnest letter to me, and not trying to make any special point about the financial times we live in. It seems that you are writing to say “thanks”, but there is also a tone of “you’re welcome” in there, as if you made a special exception for me by buying the record, which I guess is what you did.

Stop this bait

>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.”
