life advice from the mountain goats:
- lie to the cops
- watch for the signs and learn how to read
- let all the lights blaze, keep your heart light, play really loud music all hours of the night
- do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive, do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
- life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar
- steal what you need
- bring back some blurry pictures to remember all your darker moments by
- read all about it on the wikipedia page
- don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light, and stay alive, just stay alive
- make it through this year

the mountain goats make music for people who spent their entire lives convinced they would die before they were 17 except now they're 26 and they have a job and friends and hobbies and they're not sure what they're meant to do now that they've survived

the difference between the mountain goats and they might be giants is that you'll hear a tmg song that sounds like absolute nonsense and look up the lyrics and the annotations are like "oh actually this is a reference to the canterbury tales and also a metal band that existed for one month in 1996 and played three shows ever and all existing tapes of their debut album were melted down into glue 20 years ago" vs you'll hear a tmbg song that sounds like absolute nonsense and look up the lyrics and the annotations quote an interview with the johns where they're like "if you even think about interpreting this song we'll come to your house and kill you"

the mountain goats are great because everyone you talk to will say shit like "you really have to understand that their subtle lyricism & deep poetry spoke to me at a time when nothing else could, saving my life and ushering me into a new era of artistic creation" and then the best song on every album is always called "the opossum song" and it goes "opossum opossum opossum in the front yard / opossum opossum opossum in the back yard / opossum! in! my! house! drinking blood!"
