What Elusive Mountain Goats Item Do You Desire Most?

Matt, did you just refer to your ass as a "hovercraft?"

I am pretty that this doesn't qualify as "elusive" so much as "nonexistent", but I've still got a hole in my heart that only a recording of the 10/15/2008 Omaha show can fill.

In the meantime, I will plug the hole with a cheeto.

DOH!




It is very unlike me to miss a Monty Python reference. I'm so ashamed.

I recently filled a certain 10" hole in my collection and thought this would be a nice place to brag. Man, that record had been my white whale for years; Ebay prices for tMG rarities have gone pretty crazy, but I got lucky. Feels good. Now I suppose my most-wanted tMG vinyl would be CCTTST. I keep missing the boat on that one. But all good things come to those that wait, right?

At the moment, Ghana, Bitter Melon Farm & Zopilote Machine which have disappeared from the UK completely.

Yay.

I obtained a copy of "Nothing for Juice"! One of the 3BOS re-issues but I'm content with that.

tMG tour t-shirt w/ remus and romulus statue.
"get lonely" release party poster.
1st pressing vinyls and tapes for purposes of framing/playing and eventually burying/burning.

and
CCttST

I wouldn't pay much for any of it. Double sticker price is my limit (lol @ lies + pride). I have paid a little amount of $$ for "collector" items, and I have paid a lot of $$ for "collector" items. Paying lots and lots for items with little intrinsic/material value makes me feel icky inside. It's not a political stance or anything, and I can't rightly explain it.

Trading is more my style. I have lots of crap that isn't worth shit to trade.

oh, also:
harmonica from "the house that dripped blood"
glass shard from "slow west vultures"
turkey from "noche del guajolote"
filing cabinet from "no, i can't" (srsly my papers are all over the place)

This is the only CD version produced.
Also: I really, really want the WSABH tour shirt. Someone was offering one up a couple months ago but it was too small. I want this shirt so bad that if caught in the right mood I might even be willing to trade my copy of CCTTST.

Ah, really? Just in the cover of the copy I had it says "Reissue of the 1996 album" so I thought it was like Zopilote Machine etc. in that it had been released as a CD by Ajax previously but I just asked Google and discover you're right. Feel a bit better now.

Yeah, I assume the vinyl would be pretty impossible to find but I always peruse tMG vinyl whenever I'm in a record store. On amazon the 3bos edition of zopilote is going for $19.86 to $109.89. They have an ajax copy for $35.00. One guy is asking $225 for a new nfj cd, jesus fucking christ.

There was a CD version on Ajax, AJAX 056-2. It's listed on the Discogs/tMG page. Sorry Sparkle.

Yeah, in my quest for a copy of Nothing for Juice, I found some ridiculous prices. Cheapest UK seller was around £40; got it ordered from the US for about half that. If there was an Ajax version, I imagine that would be worth more? I don't know. My Zopilote Machine is Ajax, but it doesn't matter to me too much - I just want CD copies of the albums I love before they disappear.

On that note, I bought Ghana on Amazon Marketplace for £13.99 today. Score! smiling smiley

There was a track jacket / sweatshirt of sorts for sale at the show I saw in Boston, they had run out of XLs (I'm a big boy) in both colors. I can't even find pictures of it now, so I suppose that's pretty elusive.

Juhu is the only thing that has eluded me so far.

And I'm still in shock about that extraneous member on the CCTTST...
March 03, 2010 12:46AM | Re: What Elusive Mountain Goats Item Do You Desire Most?
Tina, how much better is BRS on vinyl? Damn it's wonderful EP.
March 03, 2010 11:39AM | Re: What Elusive Mountain Goats Item Do You Desire Most?
as a vinyl geek, i tend to think that everything sounds about 1 billion x better, but i splurged on a nice turntable and obviously the vinyl ain't cheap either, so... yes, let's just stick with approximately 1 billion times better.
