that was cool. i always enjoy little candid bits from songwriters about their songwriting.
dude played a spirited show on tuesday in spite of a back half of the room who needed to be 51'd. it was the first i've been able to make it to in about 8 years, fun to see him with the (not extraordinarily recent) addition of a band.

Super fun show tonight, so much unpent mad energy coming from that stage. Really great sets w/ bonus Steely Dan cover in the (quieter) middle.

Pretty much my favourite band ever. Had a wonderful bonding moment with my really surly 16 year old brother on holiday a few weeks back. I absent mindedly started singing Birth of Serpents in the car, he turns to me and asks why I was singing it, I was surprised he knew what it was, and then boom, he tells me about how much he loves the band, how he's got tonnes of their records etc. I've never got on with him better, so thanks John Darnielle!

the Anonymous 4 collaboration rolled out tonight was unbelievably good. I feel the need to hear it all again, since the arrangements were so intricate and perfectly attuned to the songs that each piece had a couple of moments I almost needed a breather after to take them in. Also v nice to see Mr Mountain Goats be so clearly thrilled by the occasion, and Owen Pallett perform in such a different situation, as a fill-in with A4 themselves (he looked increeeedibly nervous beforehand, but to my untrained ears it sounded great). Also thanks for finishing fairly early, as it meant I had time to run up the road and catch all of When Saints Go Machine's set.

Co-sign, especially about the need to hear it all again. If this stuff doesn't get recorded & released I might cry a little.

woohoo! http://pitchfork.com/news/46347-the-mountain-goats-reissue-old-cassettes/
"The songs you find on this compact disc originally appeared on two cassettes. To elaborate further about that—to say, for example, that the songs originally appeared 'on two cassettes that were released in ____ and ____'—would misrepresent the spirit of their time. These tapes did not have release dates. No one anticipated their coming into the world, and very few noticed or cared. All previous eras cross at some point into the territory of the unimaginable, and so it is with the days of tape-trading. The obscurity in which these songs were incubated and born and brought into their faint light is a state of being which has passed into history."
