Post by: Inlander on 13 Sep 2007, 14:27: In my experience the Mountain Goats are one of those bands/John Darnielle is one of those dudes where whenever you're listening to them, you're not listening to anything else for weeks. And then you go away and listen to other stuff for a while, and then you remember them and come back to them, and you go Oh man, the Mountain Goats! and you don't listen to anything else for weeks again.

Post by: Spinless on 13 Sep 2007, 15:54: Compile a playlist of your favourite unreleased Mountain Goat's songs. There's enough good ones to make an album from. Maybe two.

Post by: ScrambledGregs on 13 Sep 2007, 16:22: Mountain Goats are one of those bands (see also Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Jason Molina) that have such extensive back catalogs I find it nearly impossible to keep it all sorted out in my head. Doubly so for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Jason Molina, who have collectively recorded under approximately 12.5 million different names.

I have Get Lonely on vinyl. It made me not want to kill myself the first time I listened to it. Any album good enough to ease one of my depressive phases is highly recommended.

Post by: SeanBateman on 13 Sep 2007, 16:25: I actually have a link to a download of every mountain goats record, including early maxi singles and demo cassettes, if people are into it.

Post by: MusicScribbles on 13 Sep 2007, 18:04: Are you talking about that atease discography thread, because if so, they have a lot of mountain goats stuff.
This actually reminded me that I like We Will Shall All Be Healed, so now I'm downloading enough to kill my computer.
Thanks for the reminder Kieff.

Post by: Hat on 13 Sep 2007, 18:35: Dirk, I really want that file. Real bad. I have one Mountain Goats album and am keen to hear more. Really when you think about it, not giving me that file would make you some sort of criminal.

Post by: SeanBateman on 13 Sep 2007, 21:58: We shall all be healed has my favorite song on it, but the early cassettes that are incredibly lo-fi are amazing too. Get Transmissions to Horace.

Post by: Tokuma on 14 Sep 2007, 12:25: For anyone interested in some life stuff you can download a great set on the internet archive. He is quite talkative between songs, at least he was when he came to Athens.
