“I discovered that if Mountain Goats songs teach you anything, it’s not pessimism or bitterness or melodrama; it’s loyalty. Not to the people you’ve loved, exactly, but to the fact that you did love them. Maybe you don’t anymore, but that doesn’t invalidate the choices you made when you did. If you listen to enough Mountain Goats songs you learn that there is a kind of dignity in honoring feelings you no longer have. John Darnielle’s people fall out of love, yes, but they never forget that they were in it. Which is, I suppose, why people love the Mountain Goats so shamelessly. That’s a feeling, after all, and we honor it, along with the sadness that made it possible. If we are very lucky, we grow out of that sadness eventually. But the songs remain, along with our Pavlovian responses to them, as relics of former selves that—as John Darnielle is constantly reminding us—we need to respect.”

People don't think towns like ours can turn into battlegrounds but we had a war here. There. I don't live there anymore either. I left when Jenny left. It's just a spot on the map now.

thinking about vide noir on this fine anniversary, and there was so much that went into it. products of the universe, and the vhs tapes that the band dropped off in random record shops. the vide noir hotline (1-877-VIDE NOIR you will always be famous) the follow the emerald star campaign (not only the posters and street art, but the geolocation aspect, and the fact that fans could listen to unreleased songs at a fucking volcano). the celestial poem ??? 'i followed the emerald star and by and by i return, diminished and daunted' ??? the sheer amount of lore both before and after the movie (which remains the most visually impressive movie i have ever watched. it is beautiful). ben schneider took buck vernon, one of the most pathetic men known to man, and made a heart-wrenching story out of him, complete with fictional drugs and gangs and probable hallucinations. it even has johnnie redmayne.

and somehow, the music itself is better than all of that combined. which is saying something. perfect album, no notes

they should invent a life that is liveable and a sleep that comes easy and a winter that doesn't feel like decay and a spring that doesn't feel like the past and a head that doesn't hurt and a heart that doesn't sit in your chest like a rock and a body that doesn't hate you and a hometown that doesn't make you lose your mind and a university that won't kill you they should invent a me that is normal I think that would be really neat. ok good night I love you
