The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton

Well, i love it, but didn't expect that one. Who knew?

oh wow, i feel a little obsessive posting mine

waving at you- 2719
old college try- 2590
weekend in western illinois (zoop version)- 2461
stable boy song- 2461
standard bitter love song 1- 2215

ive been listening to the same playlist before i go to bed for a while

See America Right.

Over 300 plays on my last computer.

Still not tired of it.

I just checked and mine is Romans 10:9...this was a real surprise to me, until I remembered that when LOTWTC was released I was working in a very shitty job and that song was the only thing that helped me to get through the door in the morning...I would turn it up and listen to it four or five times while walking from the train to the office...

'wake and rise and face the day and try to stop the day from staring back at me...'

22 of my 25 most played are Mountain Goats or Magnetic Fields...

I've also been using the hell out of Romans 10:9
The last few months it's been Warm Lonely Planet.
Of all scrobbleable time, No Children, but last.fm suffers on not knowing I mostly listened to WSABH, tST and Sweden on the CD player in my mother's living room, and to TLotWtC on t'cassette walkman, so who can really know*?

*P.S. I'm from the school of quantophrenics who secretly hope there's a heaven, and that heaven is a last.fm for every conceivable piece of measurable data about your life. How many grains of rice have I ever eaten? I hope I get to find that out when I die...

Same here! At least if you count Future Bible Heroes also as tMF, and The Extra Glenns also as tMG. Yet Stephin Merritt and John Darnielle seem to me to be pretty different as songwriters.

Why's everyone in this thread a f***ing Mountain Goats fan?!

My top ten on last.fm are all tMG, haha

1 The Mountain Goats – Autoclave 96
2 The Mountain Goats – Going to Georgia 95
3 The Mountain Goats – Cotton 87
4 The Mountain Goats – Color in Your Cheeks 85
5 The Mountain Goats – No Children 81
6 The Mountain Goats – Woke Up New 80
7 The Mountain Goats – Oceanographer's Choice 79
8 The Mountain Goats – California Song 78
9 The Mountain Goats – Going to Bridlington 75
10 The Mountain Goats – Michael Myers Resplendent 74

Also, does anyone else have tMG totally pwn their other artists in the Favorite Artists list?

My tMG number of listens is at 3,864 and my number two is 721. It's pretty comical to look at, actually.

Same here! My total tMG listens are 8,268. Second place? The Swell Season at 1,105. Pretty funny. Here's my top ten OVERALL:

1 The Mountain Goats – San Bernardino (125)
2 The Mountain Goats – Autoclave (113)
3 The Mountain Goats – Dance Music (107)
4 The Mountain Goats – Woke Up New (105)
5 The Mountain Goats – No Children (95)
5 The Mountain Goats – This Year (95)
5 The Mountain Goats – You or Your Memory (95)
8 The Mountain Goats – Heretic Pride (94)
9 The Mountain Goats – So Desperate (93)
10 The Mountain Goats – New Zion (91)

That said, this is nowhere near my top ten favorites. You can tell this last.fm is almost 5 years old, because it's heavily weighted toward the first few tMG albums I had (HP playing heavily, even though I rarely listen to it anymore). If you do a top ten of the past year, rather than overall, you get a top ten that's heavily weighted toward Sunset Tree. Regardless though, I still find myself with Autoclave, Dance Music, No Children, This Year, and You or Your Memory with lots of plays. Cannot believe Moon Over Goldsboro isn't on there.

Other top songs, for reference (though out of my top 25 overall, only 3 are NOT tMG):

13 The Swell Season – Feeling The Pull (81)
16 Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes (77)
22 Why? - Yo Yo Bye Bye (71)

22 Why? - Yo Yo Bye Bye (71)

Dude, Why? is so fucking awesome.
And good to see some love for Autoclave goin' on.

Up The Wolves is my most-played, probably because it's an amazing song that I don't think gets enough credit.

5. Source Decay (48)
4. Attention All Pickpockets (63)
t-2. Going to Georgia (65)
t-2. Cubs in Five (65)
1. Black Molly (89)

Overall, Black Molly is fifth. I guess I'm not obsessed enough with tMG...

So I synched my iPhone and computer for the first time in months. I'm not going to repeat the list, but Attention All Pickpockets is now first among tMG. So I guess I listen to that song the most when driving...

Well, I reset my iTunes awhile back, so mine's a bit different now.

1. This Year
2. Island Garden Song
3. Collapsing Stars

1) Going to Georgia (88)
2) Jenny (67)
3) Fault Lines (63)
4) The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton (57)
5) Color in Your Cheeks (49)
6) Fall of the High School Running Back (47)
7) Matthew 25:21 (44)
8) No Children (38)
9) Genesis 30:3 (35)
10) The Mess Inside (32)

I'm usually listening to The Mountain Goats when I'm driving or something, so there's no way really to know. If I had to take a guess,it would probably look like this:

1. Song For Cleomenes
2. No, I Can't
3. Jenny
4. Black Molly
5. You Or Your Memory

O curas hominum! O quantum est in rebus inane!

I don't have a way to accurately gauge it, but as far as I can tell, it would be something like this:

1 - Old College Try
2 - No Children
3 - Moon Over Goldboro
4 - This Year

This is likely due to the fact that I both have a weird affinity for the alpha series, and also a very limited number of tMG songs which I own.

according my computer it is "Love Love Love" but this used to be my exes computer and I know that was his favorite song so that might have skewed things

Essentially our top 25 most played all Sunset Tree (him) and Ahwt (me)

Scratch that first post, I've come to seriously distrust my iPod's play counts. There is no fucking way I've listened to "Damn These Vampires" 1266 times in the week or two it's been out. More like 3000.

haha! ^_^

i'm gonna go ahead and guess...

1. Baboon
2. In The Craters on The Moon
3. Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace
4. Family Happiness
5. All up the Seething Coast.

Mine appears to be Hebrews 11:40 statistically (perhaps because I love the InFlux and ToCome versions in equal measure) but when I first read this question, Keeping House came to mind.

Somebody's going to get screwed. It won't be me.
Someday I am going to walk out of here free.

Let's network: Twitter|Tumblr|Last.FM

Counting from February 8, 2011, iTunes has provided me with these (much more specific) numbers:

Old College Try - 94
Autoclave - 93
Love, Love, Love - 81
Heretic Pride - 68
San Bernardino - 58

To put these into perspective, my least listened to tMG song is Moon Over Goldboro, at 49. Which is weird since I like Moon Over Goldboro WAY more than San Bernardino.

iTunes says my top five is:

1. "Dilaudid"
2. "Scotch Grove"
3. "Commandante"
4. "Dance Music"
5. "Alpha Sun Hat"
