i feel like mountain goats tumblr is connected enough and niche enough a community we could make a decision en masse about a back-up place to have community—i'm not jumping ship, i'll be on tumblr until it's fully deleted, but i'd like to have a failsafe for when it does eventually die.
what options are there out there? is anyone else interested? are there older, inactive blogs on here people would want to archive somehow before this website goes under? is there a way of doing so in an organized fashion?
what do you all see as the central pieces of tmg posting? what format of posts or types of sharing and discussion and joking and sillyness and creation of art are priorities when u think about making community with other fans?
please, please treat this post as a discussion even if we don't know each other. tmg tumblr is very dear to my heart. let's stick together.
"Hi I'm John Darnielle and this is Matt Douglas. The keyboard- the keyboard wing of the Mountain Goats. And uh, I just wanted to remind you uh. This is my personal Instagram but tomorrow the album comes out and if you buy a physical copy then-- if everybody who follows me alone buys a physical copy we will have the number one album in the country. What's in that for you? Really funny posts *laughs*. Just saying. Okay, bye."
Ik 'hand in unlovable hand' has been memed to fuck but like it is honestly such a good lyric. The first time I heard no children and he sang that my brain went in on itself like a rotting pumpkin (complementary). john darnielle blow my balls clean off challenge 2k22.
