John Darnielle (2014)

In honor of the passing of the revered institution that is SkyMall, I offer a photograph of John Darnielle, assisted only by the eagles that will no longer fly from the pages of that long running catalog of all that is odd and exciting.

how do you feel about mountain goats like the real live animal

johndarnielle:

I love them and relate to them

This is, I think, my favorite live recording of “Old College Try”, an excellent Mountain Goats song from their excellent album Tallahassee. Listen to the bass. Especially at the very end. It’s superb.

I was going to post this video but then I realized I’d already posted it so instead I will just reblog myself. How’s that for ingenuity?
