how have we come to be mere mirrors of annihilation?

john darnielle will say “no you don’t understand guys, this line was SO bad, it’s literally the worst thing ever i couldn’t even release the song because it was so awful and i couldn’t fix it,” and then the line will be “I've got a Kenmore single-room window unit air conditioner.”
#like. POSSIBLY i’m just biased because i listened to Protein Source of the Future… Now! in my car for eight months#but i did not even BLINK at this line#it still sounds incredibly normal to me even after finding out john thinks it’s bad#it’s significantly better than bones don’t rust and he DID release that one… so.#(this post was actually a secret vehicle for bones don’t rust hate ALL along! bWAhahahaha)#but seriously though i love Midland#i need to post it if no one else has#yet ANOTHER song that john has never played live#hypothetically because he doesn’t want to sing The Line#but like. again… if he ever FELT like it#he should give me 2-3 months notice#just saying…#tmg#the mountain goats

A lot of pre 2003 mountain goats is random and occasionally stupid shit and usually im on board and I recognize this one’s probably going over my head and that’s like the whole point or whatever but also i have to ask, because I just have to, and i know i will never get an answer but. Pure Honey goes like this.

What possibly could have inspired a song this specific. What’s with all the Portuguese water dogs, John?

And I know you're only watching out for yourself And I know I'm not to take it real personal-like And I know you only want what's best for everybody I know you only want what's best for everybody But you better be nice or the Easter Bunny's gonna strike your name out of the little red book with the silver hinges on it that he carries

can anybody who owns a copy of Protein Source of the Future Now tell me what the version of Quetzalcoatl Comes Through actually sounds like on the cd?
#Quetzalcoatl Comes Through#the mountain goats#protein source of the future now#there's this damn yt video of it that i really dun think is right#but i can't verify cause this cd is 40 bucks on disgogs#like does it sound just like the yam the king of crops ver#or is it high energy like how it was sang live#or is it instrumental and i'm a huge chump#shot in the dark

and I am leaving you and I am sorry
#the mountain goats#tmg#protein source of the future...now!#beloved song that haunted me all through summer and early fall#and (accordingly) showed up in my [redacted] notes three times#hghghghghhghghhhhgh#(gurgling)#<- old tags but still true#this has been sitting in my drafts since December i think… time to set it free#this song really GOT me though last summer and fall when i thought i was gonna leave my job in the spring#it is everything to me#if i saw it played live i would cry#(it was played live exactly one time in 2003 - but i can dream)

If there are 10,000 “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.
If there are 1,000 “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.
If there are 10 [actual realistic number] “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.
If there are no “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, then I felt sick, felt good, the heat burns, old wood, muscles in my arms pump like machines, the jericho palm tree is plush and green, bright sun, the new day, I felt sick in a good way, felt the fever climb when you came down, all the way across town, and you brought me a plate of sweet potatoes; sun fading overheard, the sunset, bright red, your green eyes, your smooth walk, fresh tomato, celery stalk, you cook: pot of pari basmati rice, I felt good, you looked nice, you stood like galatea, over me, fried garlic, kimchi, and you brought me a plate of sweet potatoes.
