Has anyone ever heard of a band called “The Mountain Goats?”
They are the shit. Melancholy and funny and fucking great.
If you haven’t heard them yet, purchase two CD’s. Tallahasee and All Hail West Texas.
Really, i’m not fucking around here. Go. Buy. Enjoy.
“When you punish a person for dreaming his dreams, don’t expect him to thank or forgive you. The Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton will in time both outpace and outlive you … Hail satan.” - The Mountain Goats, The Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton

The Mountain Goats are awesome. You can download some of their live shows on archive.org. Good stuff…
Oops. I got overly excited at the record store and bought the double disc Elliott Smith “New Moon.” Trouble is I already own it.
If anyone wants it, I will mail it out.
who stabs himself in the heart, honestly? I’ll take it, still amazing shit.

The Mountain Goats
Jackpot Saloon
Lawrence,KS
what the hell is the jackpot saloon? that sounds ridiculous. did you guys did a riverboat casino on the Kaw?
nope, though we are trying to loosen up the gaming regs…
the jackpot is a hipster bar across from the replay. sort of a shoebox shaped venue that’s great for the people in front and shit for the people in back. it’s the kind of bar that, if described, would sound like a cool place. but it’s not.
very good. succinct and perfectly described.
oh yes, in the *i also get some bands out here* department, Andrew Bird is coming to SF soon. I’m buying tickets Sunday. Take that, L-town! Except that I think he’ll also be in Lawrence, and you won’t have to drive 90 miles for the show. But you suckers won’t get awesomely dirt-cheap Indian food in the process. So, it seems, I have won.
