#protein source of the future now

[cryptic-symbols]

A lot of pre 2003 mountain goats is random and occasionally stupid shit and usually im on board and I recognize this one’s probably going over my head and that’s like the whole point or whatever but also i have to ask, because I just have to, and i know i will never get an answer but. Pure Honey goes like this.

What possibly could have inspired a song this specific. What’s with all the Portuguese water dogs, John?

i'm leaving out all hail west texas on purpose because it would sweep and i'm curious to know what people like otherwise! i'm also including the compilation albums rather than all their individual sources

i don’t give a rat’s ass, you rat bastards

[zincbot]

can anybody who owns a copy of Protein Source of the Future Now tell me what the version of Quetzalcoatl Comes Through actually sounds like on the cd?

john darnielle will say “no you don’t understand guys, this line was SO bad, it’s literally the worst thing ever i couldn’t even release the song because it was so awful and i couldn’t fix it,” and then the line will be “I've got a Kenmore single-room window unit air conditioner.”

I made a playlist!! I have always noticed how in many, many, MANY songs, John brings up some random place so I decided to go through every single song on spotify and compile them all into one playlist! I tried to organize it the way it made sense in my brain, so it starts with the "Going to" songs, then does the songs with places in the titles, then there are a few songs that don't have places in the names but rather denonyms, and finally the rest are songs with unrelated titles but that mention places in the lyrics. yes i have autism

“How’s it goin, my name’s John, i’m from Iowa. We’re the Mountain Goats *strums*, all of us, and this is called “Handball””

Thinking about this radio version of Handball. Just listen.

If there are 10,000 “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.

If there are 1,000 “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.

If there are 10 [actual realistic number] “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, I am one.

If there are no “Yam, The King of Crops” by the Mountain Goats fans, then I felt sick, felt good, the heat burns, old wood, muscles in my arms pump like machines, the jericho palm tree is plush and green, bright sun, the new day, I felt sick in a good way, felt the fever climb when you came down, all the way across town, and you brought me a plate of sweet potatoes; sun fading overheard, the sunset, bright red, your green eyes, your smooth walk, fresh tomato, celery stalk, you cook: pot of pari basmati rice, I felt good, you looked nice, you stood like galatea, over me, fried garlic, kimchi, and you brought me a plate of sweet potatoes.
