What if at the end of Alpha Rats Nest, the couple, watching their house burn to the ground, look each other in the eyes and start making out.

I.E starting the cycle again

gatekeeping calling fictional couples a failmarriage if the only tallahassee song you can apply to them is no children. no children is like the BASELINE for a fun toxic marriage.

Random 3 AM thoughts from last night: What if someone made Tallahassee into a musical?

Picture the scene: the audience have all sat down, they’re chatting away and then the lights go dark. And Tallahassee (song) plays. You can hear the singers but they aren’t visible by this point. The audience believe this to be a beautiful love story. Then the actors come on stage, and they sing first few desperate hours, beautifully, in perfect unison. This is when the couple arrives at the house for the first time. The house is falling apart, and gives the audience the impression that this is a tale of recovery, making the best of a bad situation, which is further implied by southwood plantation road; “I am not gonna lose you, we are gonna stay married” - it’s evident that their relationship is far from perfect, but hope still remains for them. Between this and game shows touch our lives, they each open a bottle of beer and drink it. In silence. Then they each smoke a cigarette. Again in complete silence. They walk inside and game shows touch our lives plays. It becomes clear to the audience how bad the situation really is once, after a short period of conversation, which slowly becomes less and less coherent, the house that dripped blood plays. There is no break between this and Idylls of the King. The couple sing this quietly, in seperate rooms. Again, there is only a few seconds break between the end of this and the beginning of No Children. The audience note the sudden aggressive shift to pure anger and hatred. On one half of the stage, the husband sings loudly, a bottle in his hand. On the other side of the stage, the wife packs a bag, and by the end of the song, she has left. The lights fade, and the interval begins.

The second half begins loudly and suddenly, with the husband singing See America Right. At this point, only half the stage is lit, with the husband visible. The wife cannot be seen. The side of the stage which is lit switches for Peacocks and International Small Arms Traffic Blues are performed by the wife. The switch happens again and the husband performs Have to Explode. Shortly after this, underneath a beautiful, clearly, starry night sky, the couple perform Old College Try. The singer alternates between lines, with them both performing the final lines “I will walk down to the end with you, if you will come all the way down with me”. This is when the audience become truly hopeful. They prepare themselves for the reunion they had always secretly expected. As morning comes, Oceanographers choice begins to play. The stage is clouded with smoke, and the wife walks into the house. They fight, and then embrace. As this is happening, the light outside the window is darkening, (to indicate time passing, and the hatred slowly returning). Finally, as the couple are staring into each other’s eyes, Alpha Rats Nest begins. Flames begin to appear at the front of the stage, and by the end of the song, the couple are completely hidden behind them. The last time they are visible, they are staring away from one another. As the music fades out, so do the flames. But the couple are gone. So is the house. And the lights on the stage all go dark. And the show is over.

Thank you for reading

so alpha omega right. the ending that wasn't. one half of the alpha couple leaves and the other's left there, eating boiled peanuts.

there are a few really strong motifs in the alpha couple songs, maybe the most notable being the hot/cold motifs. alpha omega starts out with saying that the air was humid and the sky was gray. it's not the heat we've come to know with them and it's not the contrast of the freezing cold, because that dichotomy was found in their relationship, and it's gone now. so the narrator recreates it: deliberately turning on the air conditioner, eats the boiled peanuts, notes the warmth, notes the cold air "looming on in." just like their relationship.

and this ties well into a part of this post by @taboovithehomecoming (miraculously i actually found the post) where it mentions that the peanuts are an allegory for masturbation. the narrator is trying to recreate what they had with their partner by themself.

#the mountain goats #hi hello i'm back on the annotation bullshit and alpha omega is just so. #i didn't really like it before #i thought that ending-wise it was pretty bad #and it's no alpha rats nest but. the way the hot/cold motifs are used is *genius* #persimmon's rambles

i have an unfortunate habit of, i think, assuming that the mountain goats have a much further reach than they do. particularly w/ musicians. i keep finding new artists (particularly more underground indie/folk/punk artists) and being like. well surely they have a tweet/post/interview where they gush about how good the mountain goats are. surely. they must have a favorite mountain goats song that has, like with all mountain goats fans, ripped them clean open stomach to throat in one continued line. of course. it’s just a matter of when their cover of it comes out. and i have to simply remember that that is not universally true although to be fair the number of times it has happened isn’t exactly proving my theory wrong.
