Truth be told, I don't have much knowledge about Sun Kil Moon's music, but everything I've heard so far has been an absolutely shaking experience. There's this captivating sadness in his voice which... just makes me nostalgic. I was going to write a few words of his new album Benji, track off which is the song below - "Micheline", but instead of that I decided to go on and share some facts I found while digging behind Mr. Kozelek's background.

The most fascinating thing was his fascination with boxing and how he came up with the moniker Sun Kil Moon - the extremely tragic and touching story of Korean boxer Kim Duk-Koo. If you are curious about it, I advise you to read out about what happened while listening to the sad, but beautiful tunes of Sun Kil Moon.
