ok, so lots of you audio stars are posting your best-o-08 lists this time of year... Sadly, i haven't heard enough new music of 08 to really comment inteligently (though there was lots of stuff i liked, and shocker, i did love love love the new mtn goats). Instead, inspired by my friend Neil, i'm posting my top10 ever. I promised not to peek at his list till i made mine... just checked and we have zero overlap - though some of his picks made my honorable mentions (to foll... MORE

- "John Darnielle, you coy wordsmith, you nimble-tongued tormentor of my soul. You thought that you were simply informing your admiring public of two new slammin' EPs and an upcoming tour with guitar virtuoso Kaki King, but John, you revealed so much more. For one instant in time, our interwebbed e-souls were one.
The ostensible reason for Darnielle's recent post on Pitchfork was to announce two new Mountain Goats EPs arriving on Horse & Buggy Press \xE2\x80\x94 (1) the (.... MORE

This week brought illness and funerals; 2008's first air thick with loss & so many plans unmade. Bound tight with regret I leave West Texas through high painted deserts, days straight, lanes wide. The way the land empties you. Alpine, El Paso, Tuscon I sleep by the roadside, half-wild in unbreaking darkness. We're making good time, I think and then remember I'm in no hurry to get back to what's gone. I'll take pictures of burnt out motels, I'll call in sick to work, no: ... MORE

Well, it's been a while since we had some Mountain Goats related news on here, so we've got a double header of info, from John Darnielle himself. The new Mountain Goats EP-- the one I mentioned a few weeks back, with the limited gatefold vinyl and the special cover art and the pay-whatcha-like download option (about which we'll tell you more once we sort everything out)-- is called Satanic Messiah. It has four songs on it, ...

Mountain Goats, Heretic Pride (4AD) eight out of ten stars I love John Darnielle’s songs. He writes from the heart. So how could I review his new album, Heretic Pride from my head? There will be little deep analysis or calculated critique here. Listening to his songs feels like sitting on a ledge, waiting to cry. His albums don’t always make me cry but they always, at the very least, push me to the edge. Darnielle writes with such honesty about his life, his experience... MORE

I love when bands include Alaska on their tour maps. But, I don't know of any non-Alaskan bands who have ever started their US tour from the arctic state! It's possible that Mountain Goats will be the first to do so. John Darnielle and friends announced a west coast US tour that starts in Anchorage, stops in B.C. and heads south to West Hollywood. The fun starts on February 19th and continues until March 5th with Jeffrey Lewis and the Jitters supporting in the lower 48... MORE

Last night I downloaded the new Mountain Goats album, Heretic Pride (yes, I do intend on buying it) and I am so glad that John Darnielle has managed to produce yet another stunning record. I don't want to use the phrase 'their best yet' because I've only listened to it twice through, and because that's a very grand statement, but it is definitely a contender in my opinion. The album comes across as slightly more upbeat than previous ones, but the lyrics are mostly typica... MORE

Minnesota Public Radio asked The Mountain Goats to write a Super Tuesday song and the Goats came through. The song they wrote is called "Down to the Ark" and while it doesn't specify which candidate they endorse it does have a distinct biblical tone. You can read the lyrics at Tiny Mix Tapes and download the mp3 from Public Radio's website: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/The-Mountain-Goats-Pen-Song-for http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/01/31/mtngoat...

If you know me you know I think no one does devastating like John; the Mountain Goats' bleakness is plainly-hewn and sharply cathartic. Seek and you'll find black nights that don't break, blistering daytime that illuminates fault & failure, and a lack of poetry to soften the blow. Most familiarly, most painfully, you'll find the plea. Your plea. "Masher" is this: the resigned plea to receding happiness, a hands & knees offering to a brokenness come to reposses what's jus...

A clock-measured 2:00AM won't appear longer than neighboring hours; but in practice, it's the one with power to grow, to stretch and loop, ignited by small bad thoughts. It's waker's choice - need to mow the lawn, leave her, tell them all the truth? Sift it through. Gather up records & vices for the dark duration, but be careful when pleading for passage; heed instead this Zopilote Machine warning: there are worse things to lose than sleep. Because when the fucking sun co... MORE
