No Children - The Mountain Goats

[jennying-my-thebes]

i may have said something about this before but like. it sometimes irks me when people only know the 3 songs popularized by moral orel. this is coming from someone who was literally introduced to what is now my favorite band ever through moral orel. i think those 3 songs are spectacular and beautiful and such perfect choices for the show and it makes me happy that people have been introduced to such an incredible band through such an incredible show.

but when i say it irks me that people only know these 3 songs, this isn't because i think they are "fake fans" or because i am trying to gatekeep the mountain goats.

i say it irks me because there are 33 years worth of beautiful songs and incredibly profound pieces of poetry that i wish more people knew!!! i WANT people to listen to more of the mountain goats!! if you found out about tmg through moral orel and really liked the songs used in the show, i implore you to use that as a stepping stone towards the rest of their discography because it is truly so life-changing. also, there are so many songs that weren't used in the show that i almost forget weren't included because of how perfectly they match up with the themes in moral orel and i have a whole playlist of songs that remind me of the show other than no children, love love love, and old college try.

anyways. tldr. if you discovered the mountain goats through moral orel, i think you should try getting into more of their music!!! this beauty deserves to be spread to other people, especially those who enjoyed the amazing work of art that is moral orel.

i have a lot of favorite live alt lyrics but one that never fails to gut me is "when we never make it back to california i want you to know i love you". they know they aren't making it back! it's not a question and they can't pretend that that possibility is still lingering because it's not! oh to see exactly where your road ends. to stare down the happy ending that you can no longer lie to yourself about the possibility of. you can't go back. whatever there was, you can't go back.

I'm actually kind of heartbroken over Peter Hughes leaving the mountain goats. Obviously I support his decision and want him to do whatever is best for him, but still.

He was such a major part of me getting into playing bass and writing music and I love his energy so much. I feel so grateful to have gotten to see him perform multiple times. I remember the first time I saw them perform, in 2021 at The Gothic in Englewood Colorado and I distinctly remember when the bass for Tallahassee hit and it was genuinely a life changing moment for me.

I have so much love for this man and I hope the world has good things in store for him.

Peter, I hope you love your life and I hope life loves you back.

Often a television show will recycle their wardrobe on other characters as the seasons progress. This example comes from the television show 𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑼𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆, in which a white floral dress was used in 2011 in the first season episode entitled 𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔. Ginnifer Goodwin wore it as Mary Margaret Blanchard. The second time the dress was used was by Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan in the 2012 second season episode 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒆.   Visit our website to see more costumes from Once Upon a Time: Bit.ly/PostEd100

i want to study at a mountain goats university

i will spell marriage as divorce and use a 1967 colt .45. i would watch a black and white TV, in the middle of the night while drinking bartles and jaymes with my ex-wife. i'll have golden boy peanuts every day that's worth $6.95. i would dash up stairs to take cover every night. i am also more likely to meet Jenny, Cyrus and Jeff, and the Alpha Couple.

i wish i was mountain goats :(

2012-05-09 - The Toff In Town, Melbourne Australia, taped by Christopher Jaques

Happy 22nd birthday to Tallahassee! Here's a particular favorite recording of Old College Try in honor of the occasion! Not much else to say here, this show is excellent. I don't think I've listened to very many tapes from shows outside the US so this was a fun one.

The Mountain Goats collection on the Live Music Archive has 450+ live recordings and spans from 1992 to present day! Live Tapes Tuesday is a weekly post aiming to bring attention to the diligent taping efforts of the tMG community by spotlighting a different tape every week. // What’s the Live Music Archive?
