so is there any rhyme or reason to which stores are getting the cassette tapes? or do i just have to go around to various stores and hope i've happened across a shop that happened to snag a copy? \o_O/

i don't know where you live but bull city records always seem to have the latest tMG exclusives. dunno though, trying to think of other record shops that JD seems especially affilated with.

ah well not a big deal, but i think it'd be fun to hear the cassette if i come across one

i live in the middle of st. louis and called the closest three record stores and no luck. but i heard that 500 more (besides the original 500) will be in select record stores. that's all i know.

So my gal had a shit ton of shrimper cassettes in boxes (along with a zillion other cassettes) and we collectively determined that neither of us were ever gonna listen to cassettes ever again and we have most of this stuff on mp3 anyway, so she opted to ebay.she just sold five cassettes for over 500 dollars (150 for transmissions to horace!) and the first last plane to jakarta zine for about sixty.Thanks John! Who knew that people would pay big cash for CASSETTES?

Listened to this twice on the way into the office today. It's really enjoyable, although I have to admit that my attention drifted for a few songs after High Hawk Season, which is fucking phenomenal. Great work, DJP.

picked this up, given it about three spins.
gotta say, i think it's solid, but not likely to be among my favorite TMG albums of the past decade or so. a few songs have really hit me hard ("estate sale sign," "beautiful gas mask," "high hawk season") then there are a few that are pleasantly straightforward in a good way ("damn these vampires") and a couple that for some reason, maybe the way the melodies are phrased, who knows?, that kinda grate on me in a bad way ("birth of serpents," "never quite free")
anyway -- those three songs mentioned above that are really hitting home i'd place on a TMG best-of -- i guess that's what counts at the end of the day, is that i've got at least three indispensable, A+++ tunes from this album
who knows... the rest may grow on me more, probably will in fact...
btw, even tho i'm not his favorite ilxor, would like to extend a big congrats to DJP for not only being ON this album (really cool in itself), but spearheading the arrangement behind one of its standout tracks. soooo great, good job dude

ive heard that this album is great other than some terrible arrangement some jerk did on it - can anyone verify this is true

the only way to really get to the bottom of that is for you to buy 15 copies and listen to them simultaneously

new one sounds killer. i do a bad job at keeping up with the Goats (last one I heard was Get Lonely) but I am digging this!
― tylerw, Thursday, 31 March 2011 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I only really got into the Goats with Heretic Pride (I know, I know). I've followed closely ever since and gone back and fallen for The Sunset Tree and All Hail West Texas. Get Lonely, We Shall All Be Healed, and Tallahassee are all on my list to get soon.

― who is john nult? (dayo), Friday, 1 April 2011 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Get Lonely is notorious difficult to get into though, and is really best approached from the vantage point of having broke up with someone and it hurts so bad that you want to die. Just saying - it's like when you're crying so long and hard and it's like these big heaving sobs and after a while you get a sore throat and swallowing your own spit becomes sort of a challenge. Have you cried like that recently? Because that's where you should be coming from for that record. Imo.

Or like, she enticed you to follow her to a new land, then left you as soon as you got there, and you're friendless and penniless in a strange place among people whose customs who don't know and you're searching wildly for someone or anything you can relate to. But you can't.

BOO: the videogame music gig I did yesterday ran super late by about an hour and I missed almost the entire show
YAY: I arrived in time for "No Children"

― slight even by tweet standards (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 2 April 2011 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Stuff from Final Fantasy VII, Civilization IV, Myst and Metal Gear Solid 3. It was pretty bad-ass! (The orchestra also did stuff from Super Mario Brothers and Chrono Chross)

I second this.apparently you will like it more if you give the life of the world in flux. i haven't tried.

― jacobfiala, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Life of the World In Flux has Proverbs 6:27, which I like better than everything else on the actual album. He played it live at the Sixth & I Synogogue gig in DC (available on archive.org).

Also, the last one kinda made me want to write an album full of songs titled after SEC Forms that have special meaning to me:
1. "Form 4" - 4:07 2. "Form DEF 14A" - 3:13 3. "Form 10-K ex.21" - 3:10 4. "Form N-17f-2" - 3:03
etc. : )
― kkvgz, Sunday, 3 April 2011 09:50 (thirteen years ago) link
am still picking through this new album, sounds really lovely but i feel a little distant from the lyrics. otoh i loved the last album immediately and emotionally; genesis 30:3 has this delicate touch of the sacred in it that messes me up every time i hear it, and i was really happy when it got some votes as a single in 2009's pazz and jop.
i'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff live; "liza forever minnelli" was devastating live on the last tour.
