So I really like Brilliantstreet’s series of totally awesome Mountain Goats/vintage ads remixes, and I’m trying to get back into photoshopping stuff because, man, my life is boring and uncreative at times.    So yeah, Tallahassee, God, I love the Alpha couple song cycle. 

Anyway, general stuff:

Original Ad Source- possibly here? I don’t know I found it via this site but their source no longer exists?? 

The text is the Tallahassee liner notes. I was going to do the actual song, but the formatting just wasn’t working out. Anyway, I feel like it fit better?

So, umm, yeah… Think I’ve got everything sourced/attributed on here.

I know the tumblr users don't like rap music discourse was months ago but I just remembered, the craziest part of the fact that the userbase on here seems to be allergic to rap is that it used to be the exact opposite. Back in like 2010-2014 there were a bunch of rappers active on here and tumblr was seen as a legitimate way to build an audience for up and coming rappers. Odd Future was on here, A$AP was on here. There were rappers that were considered "tumblrcore". Cloud Rap was a trendy sound for a few years and people attributed its popularity in part to tumblr. Like not only did tumblr users used to listen to rap, they were fucking tastemakers for a little while (for better or for worse). The current state of things only really happened post dashcon when the site started bleeding users and the only people left on here were hardcore fandom posters who for some reason all listen to the same five Mother Mother adjacent bands. The hipsters took the fucking rap music in the divorce.

“So, as I say, Wear Black is a Portland song and so is this. Portland is a short but extremely important period in my life when my… the deal was- I’ve told this story in interviews a few times. I was into heroin, in southern California, and I had had an overdose thing where- if you know the song Mole from We Shall All Be Healed, that’s about how I woke up one morning in Pomona Valley Hospital handcuffed to the bed, right. I put the song in the second person so you wouldn’t figure out it was about me because I’m a clever guy, I have a bachelor’s degree in English and stuff. But my father, who did not have a lot of money but saved money, had a theory; it was not a good theory, as it turned out. But who am I to say what the father of an eighteen year old who has overdosed would do to try and save his son’s life? My father said, ‘I will pay you $560 a month to live anywhere in US besides southern California and go to community college for a year.’ So, I was in Portland when he made the offer and I really did not expect to live another six months anyway. I was pretty certain I was on my way out. So I said, ‘Sure. Portland. Well, who gives a fuck?’ So, he set up the thing and I found an apartment and I moved up there but I was not ready… I was really unfit to live or be anyone’s friend. And I was in the process of trying to bury the good, young me who had been under assault for a little while and when you’ve been under assault for a while, there’s an unfortunate tendency you can gain to join in the spirit of your attackers. I don’t quite understand the dynamic that happens. You sort of become the person that the people who are against you are telling you you actually are down to your core. It’s ugly and hard. But my younger self, my eleven year old self, had always loved unicorns and dragons.”
