WE SHALL ALL BE HEALED (SONG) ON MOUNTAIN GOATS INSTAGRAM FOUR DAYS BEFORE I SEE THEM. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

HELLO??????? HELLO. HI

[radiationsaint]

hey. don’t cry. mountain goat’s satanic messiah ep free to download on archive.org, okay?

[unloneliest]

hello besties. album order is very intentional when it comes to the mountain goats, so the question is not what your favorite album opener is, but rather: which of these songs is the best at being an album opener?

i'd love to hear your reasoning in the tags, and if your favorite isn't the same as what you voted for, i'd love to hear what that is too!

i will be tagging all my polls 'tmg polls' and the rest in this series of polls can be found here. let me know in the replies or tags if you'd like to be tagged in future polls/posts!

[downtohide]

hey! for the ask game, from the nebraska plant and wizard buys a hat?

Thank you for the ask :)

I would say the entire first eight lines of From the Nebraska Plant because I was So Hyped when they got released with those stickers when the album was being teased. I think that might be slightly cheating though so instead I'll say the repetition of

'I wait all day for you.'

Not even the lyric itself necessarily, but the delivery is so perfect. I remember listening to it for the first time and thinking, this is a love song. Not a romantic love song, but certainly a song with a lot of love in it.

I re-listened to the Satanic Messiah EP recently!! This might also be cheating but my favourite lines are

'This is the church

This is the crucible/These are the congregants/Occupied by the enemy'

Probably mainly because I did that 'Here's the church/Here's the steeple' hand game thing all the time as a child, and I love how that's subverted here, especially in the first part of the song when you think that 'people' is going to rhyme with 'steeple'.

Satanic Messiah is such a fuckin good Mountain Goats EP. Couldn't be happier that they're releasing old obscure shit to BandCamp. Highly recommended.

[bunnywand]

so a couple of weeks ago when i was doing my big listen through of the whole mountain goats discography, i was gonna write a post about all of the mountain goats stuff that was officially released in one form or another at some point, but isn't currently available on bandcamp/other digital music services etc, and how likely i thought it'd be they'd get re-released at some point.. 🤔

and i didn't end up writing it bcos it would have taken a while and i didn't know how interested people would be in it.. but then today out of the blue, the "new asian cinema" ep suddenly got a re-release?? 😳 and it sounds like a couple of the other old eps could be on the way too, so maybe it is worth writing after all 😆

so, here goes..!! be warned, there's quite a lot though.. 😅

the yo-yo eps (new asian cinema / isopanisad radio hour / devil in the shortwave): a bunch of eps released between 1998-2002, i was originally gonna lump these in with the other eps, but with "new asian cinema's" re-release, it looks like all 3 of these are gonna be available again soon!!

"letters from belgium" single (with "nova scotia" + "attention all pickpockets" b-sides): i separated this one from the other singles because it was released on the 4AD label, and the other singles from that era (see america right, palmcorder yajna, dilaudid) are available so.. i'm honestly not sure why this one is missing?? 😵‍💫 but hopefully it'll get re-released and join the others some time!!

other singles/eps (on juhu beach / jam eater blues / satanic messiah): there's nothing to really separate how likely/unlikely i think these getting a re-release would be, but they were all p limited releases, so it'd be great to finally see them widely available, and i could definitely see it happening sometime!!

split singles/eps (beside recordings vol. 1.2 / black pear tree / moon colony bloodbath): nothing to really separate these ones from the aboves ones either, although idk if these being split releases with other artists could complicate things at all?? 🤔 but it'd be a shame if they never got re-released someday, especially with how good "black pear tree" is 😧

bonus tracks (naming day, they are stone swallowers, keeping house from "get lonely" / toolshed, last man on earth from "heretic pride"): getting into the realm of things i don't think are too likely now, the "get lonely" bonus tracks were available on the japanese cd iirc, and the "heretic pride" ones were itunes/amazon bonus tracks respectively.. toolshed is actually still available on itunes/apple music, but i don't think last man on earth is available anymore, and the kind of.. obscureness of these tracks probably damages their chances of getting a re-release, unless the albums themselves ever get reissued?? 😕 but it's not impossible, maybe it could happen for their 20th anniversaries in a few years!!

demo albums (come, come to the sunset tree / the life of the world in flux / all survivors pack): the bonus demos for "the sunset tree," "the life of the world to come" and "all eternals deck," it'd really surprise me if these ever got a wide release cos i think part of the appeal of them is that they're supposed to be like.. limited edition releases, especially in the case of "come, come the sunset tree" which has almost a kind of legendary status 😳

online releases (hospicio de huerfanos / songs for vamsidasa babaji / three for mike g / seven for australia / other random songs etc): at various points john's released songs or bundles of songs online for various reasons, more than i could list here.. i honestly can't see these ever getting an Official release though, it was kind of the point of them to be like, ephemeral and not ~proper releases~ 🤔

compilation appearances: so there's a tonne of compilations tmg have done songs for.. everything on this list before 2001 (except for "the pieman" 😦) was released on the protein source of the future/bitter melon farm/ghana compilations but everything since has never like.. reappeared outside of their compilations?? i think it'd be really cool to do like, a 4th installment in the protein source/bitter melon/ghana series gathering them all up in one place.. but i think the chances of that happening are honestly p slim 😅

taboo vi: the homecoming: the very first mountain goats release, john's been p outspoken about disowning this one, which is why it almost makes bottom of the list.. but who knows, in 8 years it'll be the 40th anniversary of it's release, maybe time will change his mind and it could get a special anniversary re-release?? 😆

hail and farewell, gothenburg: the never officially released follow-up to "sweden," john was p upset abt it getting leaked, which is why it makes bottom of the list, even below taboo vi 🙁 there's no way i could ever see this getting an official release, according to john it was never even intended to see the light of day in the first place 😔

and as far as i know, that p much wraps up about everything?? 😅 so here's hoping w/ the re-releases of the yo-yo eps that some of this other stuff starts cropping up again too!! 🥳

[outofcontextgoats]

this is the church occupied by the enemy

[gracelandmp3]

hadn’t really thought about it bc i super wasn’t expecting satanic messiah but every bandcamp friday mountain goats ep rerelease gets us closer to moon colony bloodbath on streaming . please god 🙏🫁🌕🩸🕯️🙏

“One day, cutting this extremely long, probably endless story short, one day I wrote a title down in my little tiny notebook of song titles that I keep. And as soon as I'd written it, I went, 'that's got to be the stupidest song title you've ever come up with in your life. There's no way you can ever live up to that song title. It's the end. It is the end.' And it sat there in my notebook for two years. Then one day, about a month ago, I said, 'It's time, it's time to write the song "Wizard Buys a Hat"'. I do not feel the song lives up to its song title, nor do I feel that any songwriter, no matter how good, can live up to this song title, for which I take no credit whatsoever. Anyway, it's a song about when I lived in Portland and it's called - let me just take a moment to savor this - 'Wizard Buys a Hat'." -Masonic Temple - Brooklyn, NY (05.16.2008)
