It should probably be a red flag that No Children makes me miss my best friend. But I miss having a hand to hold while I shout “hand in unlovable hand.”

She moved back and we’re partners now. Oops.

Tonight at the Mountain Goats show in SLC we got Cry for Judas, which I have been waiting to hear live for years at this point. So it was already amazing. And then John Darnielle changed the lyrics from “mistreat your alter boys long enough, and this is what you get” to “mistreat your missionaries long enough, and this is what you get”. And when I tell you this is exactly why I make an effort to see them in Utah even though I don’t live here anymore.

there are so many "sounds like a mountain goats lyric but okay" jokes i made a quiz to see if you can correctly identify tmg lyrics

[orpheuslament]

im gonna (remembers suicide jokes negatively impact my mental health or something) bribe the officials im gonna kill all the judges its gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage

average musician yells "yeah" or whines like a dog 3 times a song factoid actually statistical error. John "yeah georg" Darnielle of the mountain goats, who yells yeah five times every song and is constantly yelling and whining and howling, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I’m trying to watch King of Drag, but I’m 3 minutes in and I’ve cried 5 times. So. Maybe I need to finally talk to someone about starting T.

if anybody comes to see me

tell them they just missed me by a minute

if anybody comes into our room while we're asleep

I hope they incinerate everybody in it

i think that's what this i saw the tv glow did honestly.

that moment when you're watching it as a trans person, and every cell in your body is begging her to not stop, to not run away, please please please. you need to see it more than you've needed anything. and then she does. she sees everything inside herself in a bathroom all alone where we've all been, and she closes it all up, her emaciated and sickly body barely holding her up, and she walks back into an arcade room apologizing for her outburst to a building full of people who refuse to see or hear her.

and then you realize, while your chest feels like it might just cave in under the pressure, that this film refused to afford you the relief of seeing someone else do what you must, to give you that false and fleeting pressure eased. no. if you want this film to have a good ending, you have to make it yourself. you have to do what she could not, because otherwise, well. you just saw your future.

Back on my bullshit, I fear.

fresh tattoo — the mountain goats.

[starbuck]

so many bands write songs about “relatable issues” that don’t resonate while the mountain goats write songs about issues no one has ever experienced before that are universal

[victusinveritas]

John Darnielle for Pope. We need a Pope Sax Rohmer #1 (or maybe John XXIV). He'll see the Vatican right.

[destroyingangelneveragod]

is it too soon in the year to start listening defiantly to this year by the mountain goats
