Nab, he's too busy tweeting about how videogames aren't art.
But I think they are art! Way to read, lameburger.
Actually I haven't been posting because after seeing a Mountain Goats show, my feeble attempts at stringing words together in sentences just end up with me feeling very inadequate indeed. The Dude Is A Raconteur. He Is The Raconteurest.
Also, the reports are true, John Darnielle is playing keyboards on stage and he is rocking that shit in all of the ways. They opened with 1 Samuel 15:23 (the opening track off of the most recent LP) and he was all standing hunched over the keyboard, one foot perched on the piano stool, swaying and jive and stabbing at the keys like a warlock over a boiling cauldron, grinning like a madman. He told many stories between songs and teased people with the prospect of playing "Dance Music" which is my favourite Mtn Gts song ever, but then he did not play thatm he played another song (something off of
Tallahassee, I'm horrible with song titles). But it was OK because then he played it later. He is good like that. I had the most gigantic smile on my face the entire time, I'm sure I was a sight to see. Even during the incredibly depressing songs. Later on he spent a good half a verse singing directly to my girlfriend and I was quite jealous.
Also I saw Regina Spektor on Wednesday so now I am feeling extra inadequate! But also good because they were both amazing shows and I want to steal both Regina and Mr. Darnielle and make them my pets. I would love them forever.
