The Mountain Goats

I checked out about 8 or so of their songs back in early 2000. I liked them, but never really explored their music. I was just messing around on the internet and found out that since I looked at them they released about 400 songs. I think it's something like 2 cd's a year. litterally. Has anyone else heard these guys? if so, what do you think?

I'm actually surprised that there's not been very much talk about the Mountain Goats around these parts, and it looks like John is modest enough not to be blowing his own horn about the new album, which just came out on 4AD.

I actually like it quite a bit, but I have never heard any of the previous material. I was jarred a bit by what I actually heard, because my expectations were something very different after seeing the "4AD" on the cover. After I recovered, I decided I enjoy it quite a bit: John's voice takes a bit of getting used to, but I love the stories he's telling on this one, and the conflict. Even if the similes get a bit out of hand, some of them are still amazing. And I still contend that "No Children" is one of the best songs of the year. The whole album (Talahassee) is both disturbing and hilarious, all at the same time.

I think what we should do here is guess which favorite albums of everyone else's are the ones to make John D. cringe and go, "Ugh, no, that was me at my worst!"

(Me, I love the three singles/rarities collections to bits.)

Ned, isn't that exactly the idea behind everyone at Mountain Goats harrassing John into singing about the monkey in the basement?

Not only is the cover of Memories a great song, it is also a cover of the greatest Leonard Cohen song ever. Doesn't quite do the orginal justice though.

I try to avoid talking about my own stuff on ilX0r (unless I'm haranguing local ilX0r people to come to my shows so I can meet them) because it doesn't seem right to do so. While we're on the subject though ;-) I will be playing at MacRock and doing some more touring around that time. And there's an L.A. show (finally!) on February 28th.

As far as S/D, search the new one & the one before it, All Hail West Texas, & also the cassette "Yam, the King of Crops." Destroy with extreme prejudice the song where I say I never liked Morrissey, maliciously mispronouncing his name, because I have since come to my senses and am a Mozz booster of the first order

Hey John, will there ever be a repressing of Hot Garden Stomp? That remains one of my favorite Mountain Goats works, and I noticed it didn't appear on any of the 3BOS comps.

S: pretty much everything, but especially Hot Garden Stomp, Beautiful Rat Sunset, Taking The Dative and All Hail West TX (haven't heard Tallahassee yet)

D: nothing comes to mind

For those who need convincing and prefer file-sharing to going out and buying albums, download these (delib. limiting myself to 2/CD):
"Ontario" and "Going to Stalingrad" from FULL FORCE GALESBURG (probably still my favorite album)
"Cubs in Five" and "Stars Fall on Alabama" from NINE BLACK POPPIES
"Source Decay" and "Fall of the Star High School Running Back" from ALL HAIL WEST TEXAS
"The Alphonse Mambo" and "There Will Be No Divorce" from THE CORONER'S GAMBIT
"1 Corinthians 13: 8-10" and "Going to Scotland" from NOTHING FOR JUICE
"Going to Georgia" and "Alpha Incipiens" from ZOPILOTE MACHINE
"Prana Ferox" and "Going to Queens" from SWEDEN
(it seems like JD has a trend of putting the best song on the album as the next to last one)
"Song For Cleomenes" and "Resonant Bell World" from BEAUTIFUL RAT SUNSET
"Going To Port Washington" and "The Anglo-Saxons" from GHANA
"Going to Cleveland" and "Black Molly" from BITTER MELON FARM
"Love Cuts The Strings" and "Seed Song" from PROTEIN SOURCE OF THE FUTURE ... NOW!
"You're In Maya" and "Shower" from unreleased stuff that file-trading scum have gotten their hands on.

If you don't like any of that, it's pretty safe to say that they ain't your bag, etc., as that represents a wide array of styles.

And "Going to Marrakesh" and "Someone Else's Parking Lot in Sebastapol" from The Extra Glenns' MARTIAL ARTS WEEKEND.

Still digesting TALLAHASSEE. That Scrawl CD just finished playing, so I think I'll throw it in now.

John, come play in Portland sometime.

The only thing I can say that hasn't been said is "The Anglo-Saxons" is the funniest song I've evah heard. John, play Indiana sometime.

I was introduced to The Mountain Goats by a hipster kid in Tennessee who told me, "He's better than Bob Dylan!" Well, maybe not... but some really good stuff anyway. I saw him play at a small club in Knoxville and enjoyed the show, but I was really sold when I happened across "Color in Your Cheeks" on a college station and couldn't get it out of my head for days.

Also, his periodical Last Plane to Jakarta (lastplanetojakarta.com) is a blast. It's one of the rare 'zines that's actually convinced me to buy CDs I've never heard of, just because his reviews are so impassioned.

John is nice guy and I only heard Talahasse once...but...ugh...ummm...

there's a whole lot of similes that connect romance to terrorism-kinda stuff but I don't recall any account of actual incidents that would explain why the relationship is LIKE terrorism. I'd kinda like to hear "you shot my cat, you bastard" next to "oh, you are like someone making a bomb" cuz it can kinda sound like zeitgeist exploitation. but the uptempo drummer on that one track was great idea! And I really usually listen to an album at least twice before talkin' about it, but it seems an opportune to bring it up (and it would look weird if everybody was ravin' wildly).

jesus, I gotta go die now. sorry. this wasn't easy for me, folks, so go easy on the flamebacks.

In re: "a lot of terrorism similes" I must defend myself howevah: that's just one song as far as I know. And now I should stop reading this thread as it is in poor form indeed to participate in a discussion of one's own writing/music/whatevah

(quickly answering questions before scramming: I really want to go back to Dublin but there just won't be time which makes me really sad because I love Dublin a whole lot, no plans for any pre-Zopilote Machine reissues, hoping to come to Portland sometime this year, and the L.A. show is opening for Tortoise which is funny for a whole lotta reasons)

oh, and that's actually all I've heard. and that extra glenns leonard cohen cover. so don't take this as a "I've heard your work and I say nay! review." I'm damn ign'nt re: body of work but the zeitgeist thing was buggin' me.

the L.A. show is opening for Tortoise which is funny for a whole lotta reasons

Yes it is. The funniest of which will be me spraying the crowd with whipped cream and silly string before Tor-Twah take the stage to forcibly loosen them up and make them laugh. Then I'll do the same to the band.

I like the songs on All Hail West Texas a lot, but the sound quality is so shitty (I know, there's an aesthetic at work there) that I can't play any of it on the radio (there's an aesthetic there TOO), and that makes me mad.
How's the sound on the other stuff?

At the risk of embarrassing myself in front of the man himself, pretty much every release has great moments, & there's a lot of them. Guess I tend to lean towards the early (_Hot Garden Stomp_, _Hound Dog Chronicles_) & late (_Full Force..._, _Coroners..._) periods.

Live it's a lot of fun (even when kicked off stage & forced to play on the pavement outside the venue). Can't wait till the forthcoming UK gigs & SxSW show, 'cos it's been a long time.

Enough already.

i feel dumb trying to post to this thread when mr d himself is around, but here goes all the same...

horace, mostly similar, but the newest album "tallahassee" has a much more polished full band and studio production, and there are surely songs on there that you could play on the radio. john peel gets away with it, anyway, but that may not seem any guarantee of radio-friendly production. (i wasn't sure i liked it as much as the other albums i have at first but it's really grown on me.)

i say YES to "cubs in five" and "best ever death metal band out of denton" and i note that "anti-music song" is on that best-of cdr and that i kind of like it myself and never thought it implied any real dislike of morrissey, whom i quite like, on john's part. i only have a few of the albums and i can't really pick a favourite out of them, they're all good.
