it's the DJP-only album we've been waiting for

DJP has taken over the MG identity and it is nothing but plainsong chants.

Anyone reading his book?
― calstars, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 21:26 (nine years ago)
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.

Universal Harvester rolling me right along in a musical way, not breezy tho (how did that word become such a thing)

The book is indeed extremely good.

i have been VERY disappointed to discover Universal Harvester unstocked at the many airports i have passed through this weekend

That's because you weren't looking under his pseudonym, 'Brad Thor.'

Oh so it is available as an ebook in the kobo store, but not in the UK. And there I thought we had a global economy.

as an aside i have to imagine placement in airport bookstores does wonders for sales -- feel like airports are one of the last few places ppl make impulse book purchases

i'm only five songs into this but this is easily my favorite mountain goats record in years. the no guitars approach works remarkably well, the arrangements are so detailed and lovely

It sounds so much like Hook that I wonder

also: his late '70s West Coast album. I love the electric piano all over the place.
It's an incredibly warm-sounding album to my ears.

I like it but it's too jazz, I thought the same thing about the last one but it won me around, but I'm pretty sure this one is too jazz.
^fully expect to cut and paste this for every Mountain Goats album from now on.

what is "too jazz"
― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 15 May 2017 15:38 (nine years ago)
i feel like this one is pretty jazz i guess but the melodies are more accessible than the more free-falling digressions on beat the champ imo
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 15 May 2017 15:39 (nine years ago)
There are bits of this I just can't seem to get behind right now (the chorus of "High Unicorn Tolerance" for instance) but I'm hoping those objections fall away

I like the woodwind arrangement and hook more than the song.
