i feel like mountain goats tumblr is connected enough and niche enough a community we could make a decision en masse about a back-up place to have community—i'm not jumping ship, i'll be on tumblr until it's fully deleted, but i'd like to have a failsafe for when it does eventually die.
what options are there out there? is anyone else interested? are there older, inactive blogs on here people would want to archive somehow before this website goes under? is there a way of doing so in an organized fashion?
what do you all see as the central pieces of tmg posting? what format of posts or types of sharing and discussion and joking and sillyness and creation of art are priorities when u think about making community with other fans?
please, please treat this post as a discussion even if we don't know each other. tmg tumblr is very dear to my heart. let's stick together.
Ik 'hand in unlovable hand' has been memed to fuck but like it is honestly such a good lyric. The first time I heard no children and he sang that my brain went in on itself like a rotting pumpkin (complementary). john darnielle blow my balls clean off challenge 2k22.
Some little things I like on Jenny from Thebes after a couple listens:
-The wordplay of "A body floating in a water tower/ is bound to take on weight" and "A body floating in a water tower/ is bound at the ankles and wrists"
-Kathy Valentine's backing vocals
-The strings on Jenny III
-"I'll take anything that the others won't/ I can see the value that others don't"
-The riff that comes before "remember at your peril"
-"They got a scanner at the airport now/ and a dropout in a kevlar vest"
