Re: AFL - 3 years ago
LISTEN TO ME Or don't. BUT DO Because they are so good. AND You are wrong. About them. The cashews. You might be right about me. But not about them. The cashews. They are GOODby Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
Re: AFL - 3 years ago
That is plainly absurd. You can't be serious. If you'd said, "Fuck you, I really prefer curried cashews." Well then OK. But, otherwise, no way.by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
Re: AFL - 3 years ago
I enjoy raw cashews a lot more than salted or roasted cashews. Anyone else?by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats

Re: The New Album's tracklisting, and an mp3 - 3 years ago
Thank you, John. Song-wise: obviously a lot of the focus is going to be around the biblical references themselves, decoding them, etc.; but WOW: the thing that struck me first and foremost is the music itself: totally reinvented --nothing like I was expecting--"new" sounding. Anyone else hit immediately by how it sounds?by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
Re: Indispensible bootlegs? - 3 years ago
QuotenigelOh oh oh me me! Probably my favorite single tMG bootleg is Cow Haus from 1998. It's old but it sounds great, and John plays Tulsa Imperative and Tell Me on a Sunday and other hard-to-find stuff. ETA: Also! how did I forget? BEST version of Orange Ball of Hate, ever ever ever.

Re: Nothing For Juice - 3 years ago
QuoteSonofgravyright when John hits his stride with the impossible to sing line "I took your hips in my hands and I threw you down to the new-found, rich, brown, deep, wet ground" Agreed 100%. One of the best lines John's ever written.by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
Re: The Thermals! - 3 years ago
Totally. I saw them here in Buffalo, oh, 3 weeks ago, and they were really, really fun. I like their recorded stuff, and hearing them live totally solidified their "these folks are great" status in my mind. Just really FUN!by Tarbox, Horace - Whole Wide World

Re: The Hold Steady - Southwood Plantation Road - 3 years ago
QuotetruckfaceI am a Hold Steady fan, but am very much not crazy about this rendition. I wasn't totally crazy about "Dance Music" (I like this one a bit more, for some reason) but, more than anything, as a HS fan, I'm just really excited to hear them doing John's songs.by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats

Re: has anyone done a comprehensive zip of the unreleased so - 4 years ago
QuoteshlackI think most of the fun with a lot of the unreleased songs is finding them in random places or stumbling across them in live shows. It's always such a joy when you're listening to a show and suddenly say, "Gasp! I haven't heard this before!" and then you look at the track listing and ta-daaaah, unreleased song. BINGOby Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
Re: Moon Colony Bloodbath! - 4 years ago
I'm also gonna point out (in the realm of VERY pleasant surprises): although "Surrounded" remains my favorite song on the album (favorite new tMG song in a while, I think), and although I bought the album primarily as a tMG fan, my second favorite song is hands-down a JV song: "Steps Columns Pillars." That is one beautiful fucking song.by Tarbox, Horace - Mountain Goats
