Hot Goat Summer Day 1 - Song For An Old Friend
I said I was gonna start with this one, so here we are!
I first heard this song when John played it at the very first Mountain Goats concert I ever went to and I REALLY wasn’t ready for it, but I fell in love immediately and thankfully I saw it live again at another show last year.
It is such a perfect mix of gentle imagery (the snake lazily passing through, a cold glass of water, sunlight) with the intensity of “the day your love came screaming through me.” I love the violence of the word “screaming”… It’s so perfect and conveys something that no other word could. Love is SCREAMING through!!!! Loudly and violently making itself known all at once and it feels GREAT!!!!!!!!
Speaking of feeling great, I know I literally just made fun of this line yesterday, but it really pains me to see people making fun of “you smeared citrus pulp all over me / it felt okay” as though it’s actually a BAD line or makes the song too weird or something. It makes the song SPECIFIC, which i love. I love songs about specific people and situations. But I also LOVE the use of “okay” here to describe how it felt because it feels like so much is being held back. Sometimes when John sings that line, it sounds like he’s about to cry. As though narrator has gone through something very special and almost indescribably wonderful. AND SWEET HOME EAST RUTHERFORD THREE THOUSAND MILES AWAY!!!!!!!!
Overall, this is a top ten mountain goats song for me. It comes together so perfectly and “on the day your love came screaming through me” is such an evocative lyric that I will probably never get over it.
Listen here.
#hot goat summer#(all these posts will be tagged with that so you can block them if you want!)#the mountain goats#tmg#i love this song so much and i am too tired to convey that properly#but i hope this gets the gist across anyway#it is so so so SO good#also OBVIOUSLY love this song as well bc it’s a Glass Of Water song…#move outta the way Jenny and Alpha Couple… Cold Glass Of Water is my favorite reoccurring tMG character#(i might make that tag its own post i’m cracking myself up here)#anyways GOODNIGHT!!!!!#i’ll try to do this earlier and more thoughtfully in the future but but no promises haha

the way black sails non-viewers are literally missing out on an integral part of the human experience
#howwwwww is my friend gonna understand my analysis of his show when he doesn’t know that A Story Is True A Story Is Untrue???????#AS TIME EXTENDS IT MATTERS LESS AND LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!#black sails#(oh and also Would I Be Enough For You? of course… like i said last night)#watch me explain the entire plot of the show just so he can understand the impact of a single line lol#of course he DID say that he would watch it with me… so i’m kind of trying to keep him unspoiled haha#idk if he’s gonna fuck with it tho#he doesn’t really watch shows too much

“If this goes away, Flint’s war, if it all ended and we had to walk away from it… would I be enough for you?”
*laugh track*
#not actually thinking that hard about Black Sails rn - mainly just thinking about Would I Be Enough For You in a general sense#the answer is ALWAYS no#the fact that he was vulnerable enough to even ask this question at all is honestly crazy#like. YES he aborted it two seconds later but STILL#it CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH#[redacted] would never even be able to ask [redacted2] this question but they both know the answer…

I love you shows with planned & definitive endings, I love you epilogues that prove the happy ending lasts, I love you finales that feature direct parallels to earlier seasons, I love you cast members that left years ago but came back to say goodbye, I love you well crafted & impactful final lines, I love you fitting send offs for the characters I love
#wow can you even IMAGINE#hahahahahahhaah#i watched too many good tightly-written shows with great endings and now i am once again experiencing Suffering

The Four Sacred Artistic Motives:
-what if this bad thing was good instead
-how about Make-Believe Land can have whatever I want
-would that be fucked up or what
-I think that shit's hot
#MEEEEEEEEEEE#both with my [redacted] arc reimagining#AND the fucked up AU i stole from someone who didn’t appreciate it enough#not like i’m ever gonna publish my take on it so it’s totally fair to steal it#just so i can know in my own mind and heart that i was right :))

it’s about how some relationships which, on the surface, only contain two people are haunted by a third person, who is probably dead, but still very much There.
triangular relationships… to me
#originally wrote the tag about The Third Man (1949) which i won’t spoil - watch it for yourself if you haven’t#but clearly it’s a widely-applicable sentiment based on the notes… i thought this would get 50 notes tops#i reposted it in honor of my latest the third man rewatch#but ALSO bc it reminds me of a new show that i recently watched#wherein one of the most popular ships is ONLY interesting if you take The Corpse into account#but NO ONE DOES much to my chagrin#*The Corpse floating ominously outside the window of people writing bad [redacted ship] college AUs*#you know how it is

in hindsight, his willingness to push through literally any situation despite being wildly stressed and overwhelmed the entire time was clearly the main thing that endeared me to him
#like. that’s ME#my manager is out and work is on fire and my friends are dying and i am Getting The Fuck Through It#there’s a potential biohazard on our table downstairs and i have to do the first outreach program of my life tomorrow#i planned the entire first day of training for our 9 new staff members starting on Monday all by myself#i don’t have access to several key documents that i need to do my manager’s job while she’s out#i had to haul mulch for an hour by myself bc my coworker unexpectedly left early#our tabling event tomorrow may get cancelled due to predicted thunderstorms#but you know what…. 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷#we are GETTING! THROUGH! IT!#when i am actually in charge i will be amazing#i loooooooooove to be in control lol#but covering my manager’s job at the most chaotic time possible has reminded me how much i thrive in a crisis#am i having a good time? no. am i doing a kickass job? yes.#anyways… The Character.

triangular relationships… to me
#what the hundreds of people interacting with this post don’t know is that this tag was originally written about The Third Man (1949)#i FINALLY showed it to my friend the other day and found this while scrolling through my own tag#and i was like ‘damn that is SO true’#and here we are#glad everyone is relating#the variety of ships this post has been tagged with pleases me GREATLY#i wish there was a better word for this sort of thing than ‘triangular relationship’ but there really isn’t#‘ot3’ implies that i want them ALL to get together which isn’t necessarily the case#but they are all CRAZY about each other in unique and important ways and none of their relationships make sense unless you acknowledge that#they are a triangular Unit - whether they like it or not (and whether the fans like it or not)

"After receiving a tip about a family of Burrowing Owls on the eastern edge of Cheyenne, a photographer rushed to the location in late June. The owlets seemed nearly ready to leave their burrows. Over the years, the photographer has perfected a method using a GoPro on a small tripod, set to take a photo every 5 seconds. They leave the camera behind, allowing the owls to feel comfortable. The challenge lies in the long wait to see if the effort pays off. This shot was taken on June 28th."
