Friend BTM, over at the worstweblogintheworld, recently posted about some new music that he’s been enjoying. Among the titles was April, by Mark Kozelek’s band Sun Kil Moon. I hadn’t heard it much since I bought it, so I pulled it off the shelf.
I’d purchased the album from the artist’s website, as I like to do when possible, and opted for the two-disc version signed by Mr. Kozelek. When I opened the package this afternoon, I stood looking at the signature. For a long time. To me, it looked like he had written:
1505
yll
“1505, y’all!” I say that all the time when I mean to say my name.
What the heck does this say? Any takers? HELP. I just hope that the translation isn’t so obvious that after hearing it I will feel like a big weenie.

My guess would be that 1505 is the number of the signed edition.
And below is a really poor “MK”. Note the two legs of the “k” don’t really connect.
When he played at The Nick a few years ago, I asked him to sign my copy of Ghosts of the Great Highway. He asked my name. I said “Brent.”
He signed the record:
“Brent
Mark”
So based on the evidence, I’d rate Mr. Kozelek among the worst with a Sharpie.

Well, if my copy is #1,505, then I wouldn’t consider it very “limited!” as was advertised.
Thanks, Brent.
