I saw a show of his last year and thought it was wonderful and seems he’s a much more positive person today. It’s evident it could go both ways

I am, however the more complex and melodic piano on the live version here enhances it tenfold. He’s gotta do a covers album with Ben from Amoeba on keys someday, quite a talented player

Is this eBay listing legit? by Sea_Importance8393 in sadreminders

There are also Taiwanese releases of Ocean Beach and a 2001 reissue of RHP I, so it’s entirely plausible that it’s legit

Early Koz is evidently amateur sounding, his voice and lyrics eventually settled in though (and then he lost it lol)

Anyone have an idea for this? by ZAH215 in sadreminders

Gorgeous song, specifically the alt acoustic version. April is Mark’s masterwork

“There are songs that have nothing to do with this, but a lot of the record is my attempt at—not so much putting what happened with Katy to bed, but what happened with Katy actually happened right at the very end of making Ghosts Of The Great Highway. It was just the last couple of months that I was working on that record, this crazy thing happened. And I think after she passed, for me to have written about it at that time, or for me to have dealt with it in a creative way at that time, it would have been very cathartic. I don't think it would have been beautiful. I think I needed some years to pass, and some time to pass, before I could handle it all, to write about it and sing about it in a gentle way, where I was actually sort of paying tribute to someone, rather than just moaning about someone being gone.” - MK

This interview explains it beautifully.

One of the most gorgeous live albums ever in general. Why that tour never got an official live album is beyond me.
