All Hail West Texas: ten years ago, today.
It’s a brand-brand-brand new Mountain Goats song: The Díaz Brothers. JW especially looks like he is having a fantastic time playing drums in this video. Come back to Columbus, tMG!
Get Your Mom Some Pie For Hanukkah by the Mountain Goats
John Darnielle - Get Your Mom Some Pie for Hanukkah
I don’t know what this song is (the album field is tagged “Goblins: Ha Ha Hanukkah” and I don’t think it’s technically a Mountain Goats song), but it exists. And it’s Hanukkah. And even though neither I nor John Darnielle is Jewish, I guess if there was ever going to be a remotely appropriate time to post this, it’s probably now?
A superb song. But what else would you expect?
Here is the aforementioned song, in case you wanted to enjoy its greatness.
There was rain
There was wind
There was spring coming in
There was a feeling of approaching doom
And I was happy to see you
It was cold in your room
You were warm and that’s all I remember
And you arms were warm and that’s all I remember Later on near morning
We were talking about nothing
A little rain
A little wind
Quiet cold cold air coming in
And you were warm and that’s all I remember
And you arms were warm and that’s all I remember
And your eyes were pretty and that’s all I remember
And your hands were soft and that’s all I remember
And the hall was well lit as i walked down it and that’s all I remember
And the rain was light and it felt soft on my face and that’s all I remember
And the car was quiet inside and that’s all I remember
And it was dark when the sunlight was coming and that’s all I remember
This meme is kinda lame and unimaginative, but I’ve really got to chuckle when I see someone’s made eight images just from Historiography, which is a fantastic song that totally merits this.

Tulsa Imperative by the Mountain Goats
I’ve previously rhapsodized about this particular Mountain Goats bootleg, but it’s worth mentioning again. I have several different recordings of this song, Tulsa Imperative, but this particular one is definitely the best. Listen to it. Just one of the many reasons why the 2007 Bowery Ballroom show is one of my all-time favorites.
Outer Scorpion Squadron by the Mountain Goats
This is from the soundboard recording I made of tMG. I have been listening to this particular song a lot lately, because it is wonderful, etc.
