My Discography Divorce history with Kozelek is especially eventful because I’ve actually divorced him twice.

For me, this occurred recently with The New Pornographers, a very good indie band who I cared about a lot in the ’00s, and who I’m sure still makes really good albums, even though I haven’t had the energy to play more than a song and a half off the recent In The Morse Code Of Brake Lights. (Some might conflate this with canceling, though the difference with a divorce is that you aren’t necessarily severing yourself from the older work you still like.)īut more often, DDs just sort of happen, without you even fully realizing it. Sometimes, a DD can occur suddenly over a dramatic transgression - Kanye West going MAGA being an obvious recent example. Eventually, I felt compelled to file a Discography Divorce.Ī Discography Divorce is when, either via a conscious decision or accidental forgetfulness brought on by creeping indifference, you opt to no longer follow an artist’s career. Or, frankly, you just got tired of trying to keep up.Īll three of those factors, to varying degrees, have caused me to drift away from Kozelek in recent years. Or you came to dislike the artist as a person. You just stopped responding to their latest work. Not because you grew sick of the albums that you’ve always liked you might still like them as much as you ever did. Surely there is some artist whom you used to love, and then at some point… you just stopped. But let’s say you’ve never heard of Kozelek. If you have at some point been a Kozelek fan, you can probably relate. I sort of, in fact, dread hearing it, even though I own and enjoy (even passionately love) several of Kozelek’s albums. It shouldn’t be confused with another album, Mark Kozelek With Ben Boye And Jim White 2, already set for release in March of 2020, and recently promoted with the 15-minute single “Where’s Gilroy?” about mass shootings in California, Texas, and Ohio. It’s called Joey Always Smiled, and it’s a collaborative effort with the violinist and singer Petra Haden.
