the Mountain Goats

the news for the afternoon & evening shift: our new album, Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan, is available for preorder & the first single is yours to hear now at this link: www.mountain-goats.com

KISS has several songs sung from the point of view of an adult wanting to have sex with a teenager, so this all tracks.

If your day is going poorly, revel in the fact that you didn’t just yell, “GDammit, you fuck!” at your locked car in full earshot of a woman walking to her car after church.

How far are we from Trump announcing that he’s getting a dog?

I’ve just watched two random movies from the 1980s and they both featured Fabulous Thunderbirds songs. Just an observation, not trying to start anything.

I’m punk!

I think one of the worst opening lines for a hard rock song would be: “Despite what you heard, I can go all night.”

Starch. We eat it it, but we also spray it on our clothing?

Is it uncool for me to say, “What did you do?” to a guy carrying a bouquet of flowers?

I’m in Denver and I’m wondering if anyone in Metallica wants to help me psych up for tomorrow’s Elvis Costello show on their night off.

Reading Exodus/Slayer guitarist Gary Holt’s memoir. They had “get back” meth. Meth you smoke when you get back home.

“Jaws” premiered 50 years ago today. That iconic line, “This boat needs to be waaaaay bigger,” is just as relevant as it was then.

I KNEW something was up when I asked my mom if anyone else in our family rocked, and she ran out of the room in tears.

“I’d LOVE to have a friend like me.” -something I just said to myself

I bought one of those high frequency sound/flashing lights pest repellents and I want this mouse to be like, WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Some of y’all can’t handle two high agency males going at it and it really shows.

A Tesla truck just drove by and I can honestly say it’s the dumbest looking object I’ve ever seen.

In the parking lot.

I just heard someone say, “everybody’s moving, moving, moving,” and I’m 100% sure they’ve never heard of Fugazi.

Think way more shouty.

“ I think that’s Charles Durning.” -something I just said to myself and was absolutely CORRECT about

This tracks.

It’s what you call cocaine mixed with tiny slivers of wood from a garden gnome.

the band she's in shambles covering husker du

Streaming Macalester's graduation to see Bob Mould speak and it's so great -- currently a student band called She's In Shambles (which is a great name) is covering Hüsker Dü's "Makes No Sense at All" in a cool lo-fi punk way! www.macalester.edu/commencement/

I can’t tell if this guy in the airport lounge is Jimmy Iovine or an older golfer.

I was furious at the guy talking loudly on his phone in this Kalamazoo Denny’s until I realized he’s turned his booth into a makeshift office and he’s booking stars to appear at a Star Trek convention.
