I like The Mountain Goats. Do you like The Mountain Goats? Let's talk about The Mountain Goats.
Saw them live, it was awesome. I haven't actually listened to their last two albums much, but Ghana/Tallahassee/We Shall All Be Healed/The Sunset Tree/Heretic Pride have all gotten pretty heavy rotation for the past four months or so.

Love this band. Heretic Pride is my favorite. Heard a rumor that they'll be doing Boxcar by Jawbreaker for AV Club Undercover so yeaaaaah.

My brother LOVES the Mountain Goats. Obsessed. And he doesn't even listen to that many bands. He bought a ton of albums on vinyl when he didn't even own a record player. wtf mate.
That being said, I'm not a huge fan. Darnielle's voice kinda bugs me.

I really, really like the albums that I have, but I don't have that many. All Hail West Texas is fucking great.

Damn good band. Favorite album has to be The Sunset Tree. All Eternal's Deck is solid too.

There are so many songs on Tallahassee that are just so goddamn heartbreaking. That and The Sunset Tree are my favorite albums.

John Darnielle is the best. Tallahassee is my favorite, but really I love them all.
Claire, if JD's voice bugs you, this collaboration is probably your worst nightmare... and my fantasy:

Yeah, it was at the Paradise. It was great.
Also John Darnielle was answering questions on Reddit and I asked him what animal he would talk to if he could talk to any animal. He said pigs or whales. Thumbs way up for willingly answering a ridiculous question like that when everyone else is asking super srs shit, haha.

Did they just do that cover of Boxcar recently? That was awful.

Really? I liked that cover more than most of the billions of other Boxcar covers.

Yeah I loved it, especially how he changed a few of the lines to be about himself.
