You'll never convince me that The Mountain Goats didn't pick their song names from a stack of rejected Star Trek scripts

the mountain gävle goats. they write a song about the way that a relationship is condemned to burn from the very moment the straw that comprises it is first interwoven. and yet every time, every single time, year after year it’s worth it, the love was worth the flames because the spirit was there

Junkyards are profound metaphors. [Because] they're not dumps — that bike isn't thrown away. It's going to get picked over for a few weeks/months by cheapskate home mechanics, and then it'll get tossed in the crusher and hauled off to be melted down and subsequently born anew. As another bike, as an I-beam, as tableware, as piano strings, you name it. The cycle of life! — Peter Hughes on 'From the Nebraska Plant'

people love posting about the most absurd mountain goats lyrics so here's my favorite. Beach House off Hot Garden Stomp (1993). he rails against seals for 3/4 stanzas. he has played it live several times.

Recently crossed over a threshold I refer to as the John Darnielle Event Horizon, where it’s like. Objectively there are a lot of mountain goats tracks that would be just totally forgettable to me if I heard them in a vacuum. But once you’ve been exposed to enough of the big ticket tracks you hit a point where, okay, now you’re basically ready to listen to this guy half-sing any set of words in any particular order and see how things shake out
