I was introduced to the joy of Mountian Goats by the final season of Moral Orel

I like their songs about doing meth and failed marriages.

And I like the cut of GaGa's jib.

Tallahassee makes me nostalgic. I know it's not his best, but it's still probably my favorite.

oh GOD i thought someone was talking about ACTUAL tally and i was gonna pop a vein

Yeah, I always recommend Sunset Tree and Tallahassee to anyone who hasn't heard them before.

See America Right is so good. So it Old College Try. And No Children, of course. I swear every time I go to a party out in the desert, SOMEONE will bring a guitar and have everyone gathered around singing that song, like a buncha faggy hippies.

it's really funny, that John writes for that metal magazine Decibel.

he writes the funny ass one page thing in the back every issue

"No Children" and "Dance Music" I particularly liked a lot.

His blog Last Plane To Jakarta is all about metal. I didn't know that when I subscribed, I was just thinking "dreamy John Darnielle musing about things? I'm in!" then I was like "wtf is a Blasphemophager?"

fuck, that guy rules

i'm gonna subscribe to that too now
