#the mountain goats

[jennyfromthebes]

life advice from the mountain goats:

- lie to the cops

- watch for the signs and learn how to read

- let all the lights blaze, keep your heart light, play really loud music all hours of the night

- do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive, do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away

- life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar

- steal what you need

- bring back some blurry pictures to remember all your darker moments by

- read all about it on the wikipedia page

- don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light, and stay alive, just stay alive

- make it through this year

And you smile as you ease the gun from my hand I am frozen with joy right where I stand

Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last

And I will burn brighter than the sun

I'm like if a girl never got over Cry for Judas by The Mountain Goats

[transrevolutions]

no children by the mountain goats is an objectively good and interesting song but UNFORTUNATELY I cannot hear the lines "I am drowning / there is no sign of land / you are coming down with me / hand in unlovable hand" without thinking of olympe de gouges and that fucking. letter she wrote to robespierre once

04-10-2024 at Turner Hall, Milwaukee WI, taped by roffels

With this latest tour having just wrapped up, and this song both a) having its live debut and then being played every single night and b) absolutely rocking beyond belief every single time, Only Takes A Few was the only song I could possibly choose for this week's Live Tapes Tuesday! I had never heard this one before this tour-- it was written by Jonathan Larson and tMG were invited to record it for the show Tick Tick Boom-- and I have to say the studio version pales in comparison to any live version of it for me. This recording is my favorite, and this whole show is killer, especially the encore of Blood Capsules/See America Right/Up the Wolves/Heretic Pride.

What's the Live Music Archive?

[helilart]

can't say that 2023 was my favorite

the mountain goats make music for people who spent their entire lives convinced they would die before they were 17 except now they're 26 and they have a job and friends and hobbies and they're not sure what they're meant to do now that they've survived
