Mountain Goats Guy end of year threads, for someone else who might need them tonight or any other night:

2018- every day above ground a good day

2019- a benediction

2020- for Howard and Bob, who didn't make it through the year, and for you, who did.

2021- so I was washing potatoes last night, and I got excited

2022- be ready for when the moment comes to say to yourself: I don't have to feel that anymore unless I want to

Happy 2023, everyone

in the dog universe the mountain goats album dark in here (2021) is called 'bark in here'

[oblivionloading]

Due to a loading error, goats and horses have had their models swapped, and many players have mistaken their horse’s ability to easily scale mountains as a physics exploit. This is in-fact by design because you are actually riding a goat. (April Fools 2021)

Yeah, I do consider it a love song of sorts. You wouldn't waste that much energy on somebody you didn't love at bottom...

...Would you?
