42 Days of the Mountain Goats: Day 26: Woke Up New

The Paper Towns movie comes out in 15 days. In the book, the Mountain Goats are Q’s favorite band. Completely by coincidence, the Mountain Goats are also my favorite band. So I thought I’d share a John Darnielle/Mountain Goats song I love every day from now until July 24th to celebrate the movie and the band.

Today we have ‘Woke Up New.’

Money line: “And the world, in its cold way, started coming alive.”

video by Rian Johnson, who did the long-form Life of the World to Come video oh yeah and also the penultimate episode of Breaking Bad and what’s that other thing oh yeah he’s directing the Star Wars Episode VIII movie. And writing it, if Wikipedia doesn’t lie.

I wrote this song at a Holiday Inn Express near a giant mall. Peter went to the mall to maybe shop or find something to eat, we had like 3 days off between shows and had picked a convenient stop-and-stay cheap spot off the turnpike. (This is partly the story of how we learned not to do that, except see the qualification below.) He came back very depressed and angry, you know how that can happen if you go to a mall sometimes. “I know,” he said, offering his impression of what the developers of the mall had been thinking when they designed it: “Let’s build a shopping mall that’ll be visible from space!” I thought about a morning when I had to make coffee for one when I’d been used to making coffee for two, and remembered the sad emptiness of that feeling, and when I needed a rhyme for “waste,” well, “space” isn’t perfect but it was perfect enough for me in context and that’s how the mall got into the line that precedes the rhyme.

I spent most of our three days in the room, it was the kind of mood I was in. While Peter was asleep one day I went out into the hall with my guitar and a notebook, and, leaning up against the wall next to our door and playing quietly so as not to bother anybody, wrote this song. I don’t think I played it for him until after we got home from tour. During this three-day stretch, either in the room or in the hallway, I also wrote “Maybe Sprout Wings” and possibly the title track, not sure, I always remember it as 3 songs written at the Pennsylvania turnpike Holiday Inn Express but the ones I specifically remember writing there are this & “Maybe Sprout Wings.”

Nowadays we plot out where we’re going to stay so as to avoid being in a place whose only points of interest are outlet shopping and a food court and an onramp; however, I wonder how much more work I might be getting done if we’d just held to our pattern and stayed in places where everybody gets too bummed out to just be alone with their thoughts and ends up grabbing a guitar to keep company with.

Don’t forget Brick (2005), one of the best modern neo-noir films. Also Looper (2012), which was an intense film with great atmosphere.

Always loved this song, and the video. Neglected to notice the director until now though. Thanks for the story, John D.

Note to tumblr

I want to reblog as text.

Always. Without exception.

If the only way to keep the earth from exploding was to reblog as link, I WOULD STILL WANT TO REBLOG AS TEXT SO AT LEAST PEOPLE COULD READ THE HEARTFELT GOODBYE TO EARTH I WAS REBLOGGING BEFORE WE ALL DIE.

Here’s a thing I noticed while watching the Star Wars trailer yesterday. The Falcon has a new satellite dish. Below you can see what it used to look like (taken from A New Hope) and what it looks like in The Force Awakens.

It’s completely different. At first I thought...

Actually, I'm pretty sure that was Lando's fault.

What is your opinion of Elliott Smith, as both a man and a musician?

I didn’t know him personally, unless our paths crossed when I was in Portland in the mid-eighties, which I don’t think they did. We played on a bill together in either ‘97 or ‘99 I think but we didn’t hang out. So I’m not really qualified to give any estimation of him as a person. As a musician he’s a spectacular guitarist and one of the best songwriters of his generation, and also he’s sort of the player from our indie minor leagues who got called up to the big show and instead of fizzling like so many before him, shone. His major label albums not only weren’t disappointments, they were triumphs, and they were kind of…validating, maybe? to people who were writing songs that might have seemed too dark or introspective or bookish for the mainstream. His success suggested that the world had changed a little - not seismically, just a little, but in an interesting way. His death was very hard for me.

I have a special fondness for Heatmiser’s Mic City Sons, especially the opening track.
