Music You'd Better Listen To - The Mountain Goats

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

The Mountain Goats - No Children

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

Wait, what? I’ve been posting for a month-ish (actually more by now) and I still haven’t posted any Mountain Goats?

Darnielle is one of my two favourite active songwriters (the other being Craig Finn — the guy’s lyrics are beautiful), and this track got me through a particularly bad breakup in my second year at U of T.

It doesn’t fit the mood tonight, though. I’ve been working for hours on a new project I’m starting, and I should be ready to do the alpha launch tomorrow morning, if not tonight! Seriously… news tomorrow on this stuff.

But yeah. Time to post some Mountain Goats.

(I actually have 4 versions of this song… down from 10. And I sing it regularly while walking on the street, too.)
