i don't really dig on the curse one.

he played it at the london show and, whilst i like the idea of it, there's something i just don't like about it.

a'ight I know like a month ago I was refusing to do this but fickle's my middle name and here's my goddamn list

Gojam Province 1968
Emerging
Satori in Denver
Hebrews 11:40
Sign of the Crow
Pure Honey (idk I was way drunk and totally rocking the fuck out to this song when I put it on the list and I feel like those are the sort of things you're just supposed to leave alone)
The Young Thousands
Whole Wide World
Attention All Pickpockets
International Small Arms Traffic Blues


I made this into a playlist and I've been listening to it on repeat and I'm like completely in love with all of these songs every time, w/ the exception of Pure Honey which is really starting to grate but them's the breaks when you insist on appeasing the inscrutable whims of your drunken self I guess?? I would replace it with Steal Smoked Fish for the line 'angels who don't love you' & for the contrast it makes with Damn These Vampires (idk if this has been mentioned anywhere but it seems like an addendum to AED because the three word title seems a little contrived) but I dug this grave and I'm going to lie in it

also just want to edit to add that Satori in Denver is on this list primarily because driving with the windows down at night is like one of my top ten favorite things ever

Alpha Double Negative: Going To Catalina
Distant Stations
Woke Up New
Sun Song
International Small Arms Traffic Blues
Insurance Fraud #2
Love Love Love
White Cedar
Your Belgian Things

Sure to change tomorrow
November 14, 2012 12:55PM | Re: Top 10 Favorite Songs by The Mountain Goats
eurgh International Small Arms Traffic Blues is so good eurrghghhhh I'm putting it on my list

soft vocals and warm surrounding bass, forceful & political & intimately physical imagery, finishes with one of those unexpectedly mundane tMG lines and kind of wavers at the end like he's pulling away from the mic or something? fuck everything that song is good

my favorite tMG song is the one where the narrator uses immediate or imagined sensory detail to find meaning in, conciliate, or obscure some unfortunate present circumstances

yeah that's right you heard me

1. Onions
2. Snow Owl
3. Last Man on Earth
4. Fault Lines
5. Quito
6. New Chevrolet in Flames
7. Color in Your Cheeks
8. Prana Ferox

I am in love with this playing of Color in Your Cheeks: [www.youtube.com]
The album version is a mediocre song, quite frankly. Maybe "Diaz Brothers" is my no. 11.
November 23, 2012 09:39PM | Re: Top 10 Favorite Songs by The Mountain Goats
oh man, I disagree re: the album version but that video is a really fucking good version nevertheless, thanks for sharing xoxox

tonight Original Air-Blue Gown is the only song that I like, all other songs can go home

I need to to do this for a thing. I think it might kill me. I mean TEN. That's insane. If I take 1 song per LP there's going to be stuff missing out that doesn't deserve to. I've got 2 weeks to sort it out. I may not make it through...
