Post by: StaedlerMars on 28 Feb 2011, 06:36: I haven't actually listened to it yet, since I'm at work, but hopefully I can give it a listen once I get home.

Tommy, is that your general opinion of his music in general, or this particular album?

Post by: David_Dovey on 28 Feb 2011, 13:31: Estate Sale Sign is quite new ground IMO, I don't think I've ever heard anything as loose and rambunctious and... rocky?... out of the Mtn Gts before. They've been loud before, but it's usually of the "meticulously controlled tension explodes into an entirely different kind of less controlled tension" (see: "In the Craters on the Moon" "Psalms 40:2") but this just shoots out of the gate and doesn't let up and it's not a tortured headfuck at all.

Post by: David_Dovey on 28 Feb 2011, 13:46: Shot through with tension and uncertainty and horror and fear. Next!

I was waiting for someone to mention something really obvious and prove me a fool, but that ain't it.

Post by: StaedlerMars on 28 Feb 2011, 14:14: This entire album is a lot more so far, I feel like all of these songs will be a lot harder for him to perform solo successfully.

I'm going to listen to the rip just so I know which songs are which, and then I will be back.

There's nothing mysterious or enigmatic about his song-writing or performance and the music is so clean and bright. The whole sound is just lacking grit and ambiguity.
Tell us more about Jonathon Richman!

Anyway, it's kind of funny how you can gauge when an album has leaked by when it's up for free streaming. Internet age!

Post by: Johnny C on 08 Mar 2011, 22:06: you know i like how this record sounds fine enough but they should just go back to recording at electrical in perpetuity, life of the world to come had such phenomenal production. wurster's drums don't quite pop out enough on some of the tracks here, in comparison.

Post by: David_Dovey on 30 Mar 2011, 14:22: Re: "Coffee", kinda hard to tell because to me it just sounds like John Darnielle.

Also yeah a while ago John tweeted something to the effect of "oops looks like today is going to be one of those days where I listen to nothing but Silkworm" and I may have pooped my pants.

Post by: imagist42 on 30 Mar 2011, 14:42: I spent that entire song listening intently because I was worried I would somehow miss the JD's distinctive voice. How silly of me.

Also, I kind of see it? But only for a few seconds out of his entire performance.

Post by: StaedlerMars on 31 Mar 2011, 02:04: Related but not related: I was listening to BBC 6 music last night and Atlas Sound was on and I had to do a double take because he sounded like a white, female, valley girl when he was just talking.

Post by: MusicScribbles on 13 Apr 2011, 11:37: While touring the Mountain Goats have been breaking out a Silkworm cover, and just recently they brought Tim Midgett out to sing it.
