The Mountain Goats

Hi, I'm new here, and I love tMGs

hi jacob

listened to the new album yet? any thoughts?

Heck yeah, I love it! It's different and all but I'm really loving it. Can't wait to hear the real thing instead of the crappy NPR stream though. (not that I don't appreciate your amazingness NPR)
I was trolling through here and read something about one of you guys being one of the backup singers in high hawk season, were you serious?

Nah he wasn't serious. No-one on ilx knows J0hn Darn3ll3. Nope, not here.

lol :)

For the record I think Jacob was asking about DJP? Who apparently did do some arranging & voc'ing on the record, which is fuckin rad. Wherever this goth barbershop quartet sings I'm getting my next haircut there for sure.

jacob since you're new here I'll let you in on the secret: the lead singer of the tmgs occasionally posts on this site under the alias 'acoleuthic'

Okay that is hilarious but maybe we should stop injoking the new guy

i don't listen to the mountain goats but it was hilarious when john self-banned cause he had to finish writing this album. kind of makes me want to hear it. tho i guess an album written in between intermittent bursts of ilx would be even better

i kind of wish it was 'this song is called a song for charles bronsong' tbh

Lol. I like it. And I had heard that JD posted hear occasionally but due to the lols I assume that's no his real username.

I hope to hell that JD is on the phone right now to Kung Fu to correct them on the spelling of "cassette".

lol, i didn't even notice

What are the odds that the cassette contains the "Fun Fun Fun Fun" loop repeated for 120 minutes?

i'd say around 73%

I LIKE THOSE ODDS

I just got outbid at 2,350.
...shit just got real!

I'm saving the money to make a music video for my kid.

like rebecca black?

Yes!

Purrfect!

people are getting their preordered vinyls in the mail already. from what i hear, all survivors pack is downright amazing.

Jacob, the bidding didn't go up much in the last week. You should scrape together another $50 and take the lead.

Good Mother Jones interview. I didn't know John's parents were part of the Peace and Freedom Party. you can't get more late 60s left than that.

If they do West Coast dates in summer, hope they're announced soon if I can get to one when I travel, eh?

lol, was just listening to a radio program from the '70s where they were debating the meanings of "feminist socialist" vs. "socialist feminist"

i'm scared I might win it. i just wanted to be able to say i bid on it, i don't actually have any money.

don't bid on it if you can't pay for it!

yes, mother

I missed 'em tonight at the 930 in Dc. I think Hoos went
