Ok actually re: Dark in Here discussion, it genuinely is such an incredible album, and it speaks so exactly to that early 2020 feeling. The absolute isolation and loneliness of it all is so profound that I can never quite believe that it was written and recorded before lockdown started. And it's so musically interesting, too - it goes places that I don't think much, if any, other tMG work does! The breakdown at the end of Lizard Suit is one of my favorite things ever, but you also have songs like Slow Parts and To the Headless Horsemen that are so even and measured that it's almost eerie. It's such a great album that really really does not get enough love!

Dark In Here gets a lot of hate for lines like "I live in the darkness, it's dark in here", which, fair, but another thing the song does that I think is really fucking cool is that it has an entire verse that's painting a picture with questions. it's all a hypothetical, of course, of course, but will you be ready when your moment comes? will your hands be steady when you reach down for your gun? did you leave your house in order when you came for me? is this really where you're meant to be?

is anyone else letting the light hit them full in the face as they assume their new and dreadful form or is it just me and those guys who wrote the album about cannibalism in the organ harvesting colonies on the moon

twin high maintenance machines (this year)

let me die, let me die, surrounded by machines (surrounded)

and i dreamt of a factory, where they manufactured what i needed, with shiny new machines (palmcorder yajna)

let me hear the machine’s great gears squeal and grind (the last limit of bhakti)

long live the machines who never learned to work quite right (from the lake trials)

i am just a broken machine, and i do things that i don’t really mean (cry for judas)

the mountain goats and machines

[jenny-was-a-warrior]

yes yes "im going to make it through this year if it kills me" we know. what about love is going to leave you by the hand? what about the things you love coming back to you one by one?

[jenny-was-a-warrior]

if u make a lot of OCs that u get emotionally invested in, it's vital u have a friend who's really into The Mountain Goats, or become this friend urself. they have a million niche songs about any emotion or situation under the sun, there's always at least one song that can fit on a playlist if u kno where to look for it. there's nothing like telling my friend about my incredibly specific new OC and then a few days later I get "here's a song from the mountain goat's 1994 album about the Roman empire" and the lyrics were ghost written by ur own blorbo somehow

me: 2 redbull and an adderall breakfast is the most important meal of the day :)

my guardian angel (currently taking the form of the guy from the mountain goats to try and get me to listen to him): Do we think maybe a vegetable would help you “make it through this year”

[jenny-was-a-warrior]

i love the two genre of mountain goats songs are like “i shot a guy in the face. and id do it again if i had to. that’s what loving you is like” and “i saw a monkey through the window. he waved at me. i didn’t know monkeys knew how to do that”
