SOMETIMES THE TEXT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! I WANNA GET HIGH! AND LISTEN TO THE CURE ALL NIGHT!

To be fair to Gene Loves Jezebel, Billy Corgan brought them onstage / it was in 2011, it’s on their Wikipedia page / but for the most part, however big that chorused bass may throb / you and me, and all of us, are going to have to find a job

John Darnielle you’re right about everything ever. But especially once and future goth bands.

this song fucking rocks. 1. the instrumentals here. wow gorggggggg. 2. trent reznor mention 3. the story… love a predatory/shitty contract don’t you .? 4. ONLY COWRITTEN SONG IN THE MOUNTAIN GOATS CATALOG! also this is one of the only times i’ve seen the discrepancy between The Extra Glenns and The Extra Lens name acknowledged in writing. THANK YOU PETER HUGHES!

this song was my blog title on tumblr for a hot minute + the illustration for the song in the cd booklet was my header :-) christian death mentioned here… (RIP Rozz) the annotations here remind me very much of what JD said before playing an unreleased song from Days @ the SB show this August. Long Beach, can you hear me? Can you hear me, Long Beach?

days is like the spiritual successor to goths. the more i think about it. sonically and thematically. ars poetica about The Scene. i like this song as well. what song DONT i like on goths? i need to listen to goths in full again and give it a reassessment.

and dave went to new york…i don’t care
you can’t shut people up
once they get back from their christmas out there.
i originally heard this song as the jordan lakes version. but i appreciate the original very much too now.

wear black when You come around / wear black in Your absence

IM FANGIRLING THR FUCK OUT OVER THIS SONG I LOVE RAIN IN SOHO I LOVE TO GO TO SOHO AND SAY WOW ITS LIKE RAIN IN SOHO I LOVE THIS SONG. THE ALL CAPS SCARED ME OH MY HOD. NO PROMISE SWEETER THAN A BLOOD PACT NOTHING HARDER TO GO THROUGH WITH THAN A VANISHING ACT. WEEEE PLAYED FOR YOU BUT YOU WOULD NOT SING! NO ONES GOING TO GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING!!!!!!! 😁😁😁

i also love this song. incoherent but functional. And it is gorgeously arranged. John Darnielle your beautiful mind. outside it’s 92 degrees. and KROQ (the rock of the 80s) is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees.

despite not loving goths i love this song. Wow holy shit wow. wow. i don’t have anything to say other than it’s making me tear up.

and im hardcore, but not that hardcore

goths… and i don’t even like goths that much… but it is still a good album. going from an album about pro wrestling to an album about Music .. ars poetica And also i love when he talks about metal.

how do i get money from this? no, really: how do i get money from this? this song is a JAUNT.

hair match. well what else is there to say.

i take this opportunity to say the “hwh” thing john darnielle does when pronouncing “wh” makes me happy. Bull Hwip.

i’m on my period and crying over this song john darnielle you’re so kind i love this song one of two* mountain goats songs that mention massachusetts directly. AEW wrestler also yay! EVERYONE I LOVE IS GONNA HAVE THEIR OWN SAFE PLACE.

GORGEOUS TRIBUTE JOHN BUT I DONT KNOW HOW MANY SONGS DEDICATED TO THE DEAD TRAGICALLY YOUNG AND THE DEAD BY SUICIDE I CAN TAKE

when you live a gimmick day in and day out for years, what’s really fake? i am what my body does. <- crazy. saw this book at work today yay

when the blade hits the bone, everybody hears it sing / shower room full of people, no one hears a god damned thing / twitch when the current runs wild sometimes / twitch when the contact howls

i love this album so much it’s ridiculous. LORD OF THE HIDDEN POCKETKNIFE!

if heel turns so good why isn’t there… oh? you don’t say?
THREE MINUTES OF GMAJ7 ARTICULATIONS DRIFTING OUT INTO SPACE ON A GRAND PIANO

UPBEAT HEEL TURN? JAUNTY “IM NOT GOING TO DIE IN HERE”? OUTRO THAT ISNT 3 MINUTES OF PIANO? i just checked and its actually in fact 3 minutes of piano i thought i was exaggerating nope folks it is in fact actually 3 minutes of piano

i think the a-a-a-a rhyme scheme really sells this song. on another level. really hammers in the desperation. like wow firmament-spent-tent-present (choked out) purse-reverse-nurse-universe (choked out) might-night-bite-tonight (choked out) incline-line-fine-mine chase-face-space-place (choked out) (choked out) (choked out)

John Darnielle you never fail to surprise me. THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF HIS SON.

okay and this is also one of my fav mountain goats songs. it doesn’t make me cry. blood blood blood and violence. the totemic foreign object.

I KNEW IT WAS COMING I CANTT I CANTTT THIS SONG THIS ALBUM THIS SONG TJSUGHHH. Crying reading this. My hero then and now. You let me down but Chavo never once did. Literally the best album ever. OHHH YOY CANT DO THIS TO ME. Look high it’s my last hope. Ohh hmygod. i am laughing and crying. Chavo Guerrero Sr you may not have literally saved my life or even figuratively saved my life but there were Chavos for me.

gasped when i saw the song No no no i am not prepared for Beat the Champ September. misty eyed. work like a dog all day. born to chase cars away. die on the road someday. DINNER WITH YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO. FICKKKFUCKFUXKDUFKXKXKXK
