“Ghosts” by The Mountain Goats
Ryan & I have been in a long-term disagreement regarding the Mountain Goats albums as of “Get Lonely” and beyond. I find them disappointing and I, personally, am blaming Scott Solter. He (meaning Ryan) thinks they’re good, and improved by changes in recording/production/vocal talent. I feel like all you have to do to realize they’re a disappointment is listen to “Devil in the Shortwave” or “Sweden” or whatever. I don’t understand why someone wants to hide good storytelling under that much instrumentation.
oh would that you would kiss me / with the kisses of your mouth. / ‘cause your mouth is sweeter than wine / and has a more complicated history than the American South.

“New Chevrolet in Flames” by The Mountain Goats
This song also includes reference to drinking Coca Cola, vodka, coffee liquor and milk. Without the milk, I bet that tastes pretty awesome. But then, I liked Coca-Cola BlāK.

“Commandante” by The Mountain Goats
Devil in the Shortwave is, hands down, my favorite Mountain Goats EP.
the day of reckoning is coming / faster than anyone here realizes. / and our love is like jesus, but worse. / though you seal the cave up where you’ve lain its body, / it rises. / it rises.

A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
