Title: Paint a Vulgar Picture
Review: On their hands a dead star...At the record company meeting, 4AD decided to raid the Red House Painters back catalog, 4 years after unceremoniously dropping the band. As much as this practice irritates me, both in this case and in general, at least they do us the courtesy of assembling a fine collection of Mark Kozelek and company's best work. Since domestic versions of the band's albums are all out of print, what choice do you have anyway?What this collection does not seem to capture is the sheer sprawl of a Red House Painters record. This is a band that, for better or worse, revels in making 70+ minute albums, and 10+ minute songs. Although most of the band's best songs are here, this is not an RHP album. This is a 2 CD mix tape, albeit a good one. As much as it bothers me, I'll probably buy it.
