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.

The Mountain Goats – Webster Hall – August 31, 2022

Closing out August — and a two-night run in the East Village — the Mountain Goats were at Webster Hall on Wednesday, captivating the rapt crowd with tunes off their just-released 21st studio album, Bleed Out, in addition to plenty of older favorites from across their catalog.

matt douglas has completely changed the mountain goats for the better, not just because of his, you know, actual insane amount of talent, but also because now "song + a banger ass sax solo" is now a valid category of live performance

Transcript:

"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."

The Mountain Goats Live Stream Review: 5/19, Mandolin

BY JORDAN MAINZER

There are a few guarantees in every Mountain Goats show. The band will lead the crowd in anthemic chants, whether individual lines or the entire words of a song. John Darnielle will introduce a tune breaking down its context with the depth of an entire Song Exploder podcast. And he’ll also perform a mid-concert solo set with a couple deep cuts thrown in. All of these trends were on display Thursday night at Thalia Hall (and livestreamed via Mandolin). From the very opening performance of “Heel Turn 1″, an unreleased jangly strummer written for Beat The Champ but never recorded, with a life-affirming refrain of “I’m not gonna die in here,” the crowd was ready to aid The Mountain Goats in songs of hope and overcoming. 

What really stood out to me, though, was how much the band turned Darnielle’s perseverant statements into songs that, too, kept on keeping on. It was more than responding to “Something here will eventually have to explode” into, yes, an explosive bridge jam, drawn out from Matt Douglas’ gorgeous piano sprinklings and Jon Wurster’s limber drum fills. Really, Darnielle, sometimes on acoustic guitar and sometimes on electric, Douglas, Wurster, and bassist Peter Hughes were transformative. Take a song from Goths, the first Mountain Goats album to feature no guitars. “Rain in Soho” was dialed back from the somewhat overwrought album version, Darnielle’s vocals beginning dark and deadpan before desperately increasing in volume, accompanied by staccato keys, pounding drums, and sharp electric guitars. “Younger” shuffled along almost like a Bruce Hornsby song, dramatic and melancholy at the same time. When Darnielle sang, “It never hurts to give thanks to the local gods / You don’t know who might be hungry,” you almost forgot that it was a Dungeons & Dragons reference; it came across like a life-saving declaration before Douglas’ ripping saxophone solo.

If Tallahassee was the first “full band” Mountain Goats album, but one that saw Darnielle perhaps a bit reticent to embrace the increase in range that more personnel brings, then this current incarnation of The Mountain Goats is the true surprise. “Tidal Wave”’s journey from quiet, gentle tune with cascading keyboards and hi hats to disco drum beat boogie with a rounded electric guitar solo was a peak before the salve of Darnielle’s solo set. The interplay between Darnielle as a vocalist and the rest of the band is increasingly dynamic. On the piano-driven “Broom People”, he held the note of the final line--“I am a babbling brook”--as the band marched forward and stopped on a dime. So much of The Mountain Goats’ power comes from Darnielle’s passionate delivery; now, coupled with instrumental showmanship, it’s all the more inspiring. By the time they got to “This Year” and “No Children”, guaranteed set highlights every time, it felt more like a victory lap than a climax. For a band who releases new albums--often centered around esoteric themes--and tours at a breakneck pace, their true evolution has proved to be more gradual and rewarding.

The Dread | Weeknotes

On Thursday I got 'The Dread'.

I’ve spent all weekend at a friends wedding. Ceremony and reception yesterday, and then brunch etc today. It was so nice to see everyone; old friends etc. Everyone was all dressed up and looking glamorous. The bride and groom sang some songs together, and their old band got back together and played some tunes at the reception too – which was ace. The roof of the venue was decorated in 100’s of…
