Songs in the Key of Blue

[Codreanu]

Those that bothered reading the PM Media Review article, linked today on the main page, may have shared my satisfaction in seeing "Medicine Bottle" top the list:
http://www.pmmediareview.com/archives/2005/10/songs_in_the_ke.aspx

"Red House Painters: Medicine Bottle - Mark Kozelek is the master of the 'life is too heavy to get out of bed' philosophy of life. Out of his heaping catalogs of depressing fare, 'Medicine Bottle' stands out as his defining moment as a musician. It sounds like his life is caught in a tar pit, helplessly watching it unravel. It is the darkest day of the breakup, digging up the caring letters, talking to an absent her and generally falling apart one piece at a time. This is a beautifully, draining song spanning 10 minutes that refuses to let go. Album: Down Colorful Hill"

Alright, so it is but a capricious article... nevertheless it gives me pretext to cast yet another pitch-black pearl.
