Mark Kozelek Covers "Christmas Time Is Here", Complete With Charlie Brown and Linus Dialogue

Photo by Ken Estep

On his next album, Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek isn't ruminating on loss or taking aim at the War on Drugs. No, on Sings Christmas Carols, he...sings Christmas carols. One of those carols is "Christmas Time Is Here", the Vince Guaraldi classic from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". 

Appropriately, Kozelek's version includes the spoken word exchange between Charlie Brown and Linus. Of course, Kozelek stands in for Charlie Brown, talking about how the holiday season always gets him down.

His friend replies, in true Linus fashion, "Mark, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe she's right: Of all the Mark Kozeleks in the world, you're the Mark Kozelek-iest." Truer words were never spoken, guy.

Sings Christmas Carols is out November 4 via Caldo Verde.

Read our interview with Kozelek and watch Sun Kil Moon perform at Pitchfork Music Festival:

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
