a long, long time ago tmg played 'california song' at lee's palace in toronto. it's a deep cut; my ex's favorite. her tears were exalted. there's no way you can hope for that to happen and then have it happen.
for me, when he stepped up and over the monitors and drove 'against pollution' home (with this young band, prayers and tears...) well, it shot me in the face. i can't wait to get the new one.

that could be cool! nightvale guy is a mensch
quite tempted by JD's novel reading next week too, might do that instead of the music this year. or as well. idk haha

The songs will be available on Vinyl after the last episode of the podcast:
https://www.mergerecords.com/i-only-listen-to-the-mountain-goats-ahwt
Though presumably on filesharing long before that, unless they're literally being recorded the day of the podcast?
If I consider Nightvale to be borderline unlistenablely smug, is the new podcast going to do anything for me?

I have tickets to the show on the 11th, I'm well excited!

They're available legally in digital forms long before that - the Laura Jane Grace one came out before the podcast.

I'm seeing them on the 11th too. Can't wait!
Also: new tracks! https://themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/marsh-witch-visions

I will be along this evening too, though I'll be waiting for my girlfriend to get off a train from Glasgow - anyone interested in a pint before heading in?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 15:28 (six years ago) link
Update: the whole 'train from Glasgow' didn't go so well, would anyone have use of two gratis tickets?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link
I'm hearing worrying reports that this was fucking awesome :)
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 12 October 2017 11:38 (six years ago) link
It was! Me and the girlfriend had a really long two days before for work though so i had to deal with her being moany and tired for a band she doesn't really know, so that put a bit of a downer on the night. I was really happy to hear a cracking version of Get Lonely
― plums (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 12 October 2017 12:29 (six years ago) link
Aw! My girl had been up to Glasgow for a job interview and then back down, and the trains were playing silly buggers, so she'd been 12 hours on the track by the time she got back in at 8:30 - we just had a curry and went home, we figured it was what Andrew Eldritch would have done.

These last two albums have not really worked for me, I gotta say. A couple good tracks on both, but Goths particularly is some strange ass elevator music

There's a new round of dates including TO in April - I'm curious but tix are a little steep for me. It'll come down to who's opening, I think.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:06 (six years ago) link
Newest episode of the podcast has Craig Finn on it.

Do we talk about the call-out post floating around?
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Thursday, 6 September 2018 15:32 (five years ago) link
*searches twitter* This does not, to me, rise to the level of a thing that bears talking about as like a news item.
― faculty w1fe (silby), Thursday, 6 September 2018 15:48 (five years ago) link
That is because it is not a news item, but that does not necessarily mean it is not worth talking about (though obviously this thread may not be the most receptive).
My reaction is that I would have to hear from j0hn about it, which is a response that tends to raise my own eyebrows in most circumstances, but I am hopelessly compromised here, as I am both a fan and someone who sees him being a good friend to many of my friends.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 6 September 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
That's fair. I struggled to parse the exact reason for the claimant having posted it at all but I could be missing something.
