Fuck Yeah The Mountain Goats!

“ For several hours we laid there last ones of our kind
Harder days coming maybe
I don’t mind
Sounds kind of dumb when I see it but it’s true
I would do anything for you

Open up the promise of the day
Drive the dark things away
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you

— “Genesis 30:3” - The Mountain Goats (via staceyjoy)

“ …the first Mountain Goats show ever outside of southern California was in S.F. – it was at the Thirsty Swede, formerly Night Break. I actually have a full video of it somewhere, it was me and Rachel Ware playing as a duo. We were received really warmly that night and it sort of kickstarted some real affection between the Mountain Goats and San Francisco – even in years when I wasn’t touring, I’ve always come to S.F., and the shows have just kept getting more intimate even as the crowd grows. It’s like a big purgative laughing therapy session now or something, so much fun for us.

— John Darnielle in an interview with The Bay Bridged

The Mountain Goats - Cotton

This song is for the people
who tell their families that they’re sorry
for things they can’t and won’t feel sorry for.

The Mountain Goats, "Ethiopians"

We want to send postcards to the friends we used to have,
Rub their noses in the ugly fact that we are still alive
And we play
Lovers reggae
On accordian and banjo
When the moon is high.
And we lie on the floor
Get suspicious of the people
Who’ve just moved in next door.

The bad taste in our mouths,
The twinkle in your eye
Good things never last
Bad things never die.
