They literally pulled him from his house and dragged his body through the streets and picked him up and threw him down and he LITERALLY MARKED THEIR FACES ONE BY ONE stop shouting sorry its just really exciting

My favourite genre of Mountain Goats lyric is the kind where the animal metaphor snuck in when he wasn’t looking and he’s a little mad about it

" buzzing razor held aloft

I don't have a ton to say about this one - but it's a shockingly solid quality tape from almost 22 years ago! I'm really partial to Onions generally, but this performance of it is especially lovely. This show also features Linda Blair Was Born Innocent, a month before WSABH was even recorded, which is really neat!

ETA: You may have to use the webamp player in order to stream this show - there appears to be an issue with this show in the regular player!

The Mountain Goats collection on the Live Music Archive has hundreds of live recordings and spans over thirty years! Live Tapes Tuesday is a weekly post aiming to make the extensive archive a little more accessible by spotlighting a different tape every week. // See my past Live Tapes Tuesday posts here! // What’s the Live Music Archive?

I hope

you die

we both die

the stars don't even come out tonight

the good guys get their skulls bashed in

they've got plenty of money where you're going

the people who did you wrong have trouble sleeping at night

we're all in crash position when we hit

they incinerate everybody in it

my heart explodes

you won't mind

And then you’re singing in Dutch to me And I recognize the song It seems so old and so fragile And I haven’t heard it in so long We may throw the windows open later But we are not as far west as you suppose we are Hot wind coming off the water Sky gone crazy with stars While we stay here we imagine we’re alive We see shadows on the walls There’s something waiting for us in the hot, wet air Sweat, water and alcohol Just the old blood Rising up through the wooden floor again Just the old love Asking for more again

from Full Force Galesburg (1997)

Final song coming tomorrow.

(Also, apologies about my posting inconsistencies. I work late shifts then wake up late then have to go to class and so I can’t post until after that.)
