The Mountain Goats/Will Oldham: where do I even start??
jodizzle:
Tallahassee is my favourite Mountain Goast album. I could listen to No Children over and over again.
My boyfirend has alot of their albums, but that's the one I like most.

When I saw them play in january they finished no children. Everyone sang/yelled along. It was a great way to finish a great show.

Incidentally, there's a new Mountain Goats album coming out in February (I'd noticed it'd been a few months since the last one!) and the explanation of the release date on the Mountain Goats website reminds me why I love John Darnielle so much:
--- Quote ---the new album is called Heretic Pride and will be out on February 19th, 2008 . . . We are really excited about this album, and we wish it were out right now, but there is a law against releasing albums in December unless you are Queen. Any album you see released in December is actually by Queen, no matter what it says on the cover. Then in January everybody is recovering from having listened to too much Queen. Hence, February. See you then!

Huh, my birthday is February 18th.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestions.

Will Oldham also wrote better song titles before he became Bonnie "Prince" Billy, ie "Exit Music (For a Dick)" and "Boy, You Have Cum in Your Hair and Your Dick is Hanging Out".
Fun fact: word around Louisville (Oldham's hometown and well-known indie rock spawning pool) is that the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy came from the fact that Ear-X-Tacy, the most famous new/used record store in Louisville, used to file the various Palace albums under "the artist sometimes known as Will Oldham" due to his numerous pseudonyms (and that at least two of his albums, Arise Therefore and Days in the Wake, were originally released without any attribution at all, simply with the titles printed on them).
Also, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows this, Will Oldham took the picture for the cover of Spiderland.
