Recently (New Year's Eve) in Mountain Goats twitter feed, John D. said that although The Sunset Treewas strenuous to record, studios are "close quarters" anyway, and ...that record represented for me a breakthrough in my writing. wanting to be honest / forthright / clear / etc

super appreciate that when ppl praise his work he says pleasant and modest things that do not include the word 'humbled'

I mean, being humble strikes me as a very JD thing, it's the self working on the self, unlike being #blessed. Can definitely see him getting up in the morning and doing 20 humble crunches, getting himself set up for the day.

Hah, I did not know of that - okay then I think his uses are definitely keeping the retro-humbled flame alive :)

I'm at that in-between point where I saw the book at work, bought the book, am excited about the book's basic description, am recommending the book to coworkers and customers, but still need to start the book on my day off.
So maybe tomorrow. The dust jacket will show off great wear and aging like a pair of Canadian/Japanese collaboration blue jeans.

Just got a copy after going to the reading in Seattle. I'm honestly amazed by how good he is at audience q&a's, being able to answer cliched or awkwardly phrased questions in an interesting way that doesn't make the person asking feel stupid is a real gift.
