You guys I totally wish I could be there too, especially since I had to give my Bklyn tix away to go to a funeral. Gross. That venue is so great. And I want to hear the horns live.by shlack - On The Road
I Want a Society of Poor Academics Christmas EP - 5 months ago
I was thinking about it. We've got "I Want Action Figures for Christmas" and "Sweet Christmas" already. But we could have so much more! Covers of traditional stuff. New songs about what Eivind wants for Christmas. (Or Jul!) Let's get some groundswell behind this thing.by shlack - Whole Wide World
Re: 12/12 Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery - 5 months ago
From previous shows I've seen at Hollywood Forever, yeah, you go in the main entrance. There's a lot of parking available on site, hence the free parking. It's been a few years, though, so don't hold it against me if I'm wrong.by shlack - On The Road
Re: Sterogum ranks Mountain Goats albums from worst to best. - 5 months ago
Quotedreamboatcaptain As far as what I wish was accounted for in this list, the Satanic Messiah and Black Pear Tree EPs were some of John's best work, but they aren't accounted for because they're not really albums. For sure. These are both so good.by shlack - Mountain Goats

QuoteJohnp Various - Four-Speed Box Car Double 7-inch compilation featuring Chicken Damage, Anil Mitra, Refrigerator, Wckr Spgt, The Mountain Goats, and probably Bugskull. Coming in 1994 from Car In Car Disco Product. I don't think that ever happened... did it?by shlack - Mountain Goats
Re: Sterogum ranks Mountain Goats albums from worst to best. - 5 months ago
General obvious complaints 1. The comps don't count as albums, obviously 2. Taboo probably doesn't count as an album 2a. If it does, barely 2b. If it does, putting it higher than fucking Sweden is almost surely a mistake 3. It's probably just me but Hot Garden Stomp was always a fairly easy win as the best cassette 4. Seriously you can order these how you want but Sweden didn't crack theby shlack - Mountain Goats

I'd second Lovecraft in Brooklyn. You want a choice that's slightly out of left field--I think Southwood Plantation Road might work too well, for example.by shlack - Mountain Goats

Though I appreciate the thanks, I have very little to do with the quality of the record! It was just fun to be able to handle piles of those things because they look so damn good.by shlack - Whole Wide World

I hadn't seen that comment, WC, but it's very nice! Thanks for alerting me to its presence. Mike--though I am a poet I refuse to judge your haiku as it is would only be representative of one man's subjective taste! I am in favor of all of your haiku on principle.by shlack - Mountain Goats
Re: What Elusive Mountain Goats Item Do You Desire Most? - 6 months ago
I'm not sure Mike was trying to call you out on anything. I think he was just being silly. (aka Mike.) The songs that were posted to the forum are totally kosher to share and not really hard to find. And if I had literally a modicum of spare time I would put them together and upload them for you. So tell you what. Post a list of the ones you want and I will do this, hopefully sometime in the nby shlack - Mountain Goats

Re: Franklin Bruno Tour - 6 months ago
That is "the plan." We made a whole bunch, not for mailing, but for tour, so that he could sell them but also so that he could give them out to people who already bought them. Also, Will Oldham, good choice of shows.by shlack - Whole Wide World

I spent all day assembling a bunch of the vinyl copies of this album and I must say they are GORGEOUS. Very excited for you all to see these.by shlack - Whole Wide World
Re: Shows you are excited to see in the near future. - 6 months ago
Also: the two tracks added to my version of the CD are Kyoto Pond, which is the vinyl only track from Fourtracker, and the alternate (early?) version of Columns Pillars Steps. The instrumentation and lyrics on my CD are different from the MCB version. I have no idea why these tracks were added, but my guess was that these were from a separately burned batch and they got tacked on.by shlack - Whole Wide World

Sorry about your lack of power! I distinctly remember giving you a gold one, though. So here's the deal. If yours is gold (like most of them, I think) then it's a different tracklisting and I am USELESS TO YOUby shlack - Whole Wide World
