Five things that would be more enjoyable than listening to Sun Kil Moon's newest release "April"

1. Toenail trimming

2. Cleaning the fridge out

3. A calculus class at 8AM

4. Waiting in line at the Post Office

5. Getting into a fender bender with Britney Spears.

Ben Gibbard and Will Oldham may have guest appearances on this record but they are so buried in the mix that it makes mentioning them totally pointless.

I get it, Mark is a reflective melancholy poet who dwells on relationships. We have quite a lengthy catalog from this gentlemen driving the pouting point home to the masses. Once upon a time I fell hard for this eternally sad sounding guy and the guitar he channels it through but some 15 records later, I am a bored lover looking to move onto something fresh and more alive.
