I know its a long shot, but does anyone else listen to this band? Possibly even over toys, they're my biggest obsession of the last 10 years. I Just checked my ipod & there are a staggering 901 Mountain Goats songs on there..am I alone here in this?  (i'm thinking yes, but it can't hurt to ask)

I've listened to them but I can't say I'm a fan. I don't DISLIKE them either, there's a few songs I like but I never got into them. I work part time at a record store so that's where I would've heard anything, just from what someone in the store played. I also think "Atom and his Package" did some covers of their tunes too, right?>\ |

Funny story: I used to live with this dude Steve who ran a recording studio out of our house. He usually did punk bands and also occassionally some indie stuff. On the last day that i was moving my stuff out of the house, I knocked on his door to say goodbye, and he didn't come out, so I banged on it again. I was hitting it pretty hard, and eventually the door opened and it wasn't steve. Atom poked his head out and looked a little confused/annoyed. I totally interrupted his recording. hahaha. I haven't picked up the new tMG record yet (I'm slacking!) but I have pretty much everything else officially released including demos & weird comp stuff, along with maybe 40 or so live shows? (possibly more?).

No Children is one of many that have gotten me through the last 10 years of bad breakups. Some lyrical favorites are below: standard bitter love song #4 well I see you've left me a photograph of a leopard tearing an antelope in half. what have you done? what have you done? what have you done...with our love? what have you done? well I see you've resorted to petty theft. you try to take something from me, but there's nothing left. what have you done? what have you done? what have done...with our love? where have you put it? well I hear you calling from way over there and I can't find it anywhere. what have you done? what have you done? what have you done...with our love? what have you done? black molly black mollies in the aquarium, darting back and forth as though an earthquake were certain and I, turned up the heater and I ripped off my shirt and I grabbed hold of my stereo and I threw it out the window you were in town again you'd come around again you were dragging me down again with you siamese fish flashing like sparklers it started to rain and the telephone rang a couple of times I put a bullet through its cold dead brain and I got out my photographs of you and I put bullets though all of them too you were in town again you'd come around again you were dragging me down again with you yeah baboon ------ the sun came up above the strange white plain. blood red flowers all wet with rain and the spirit wasn't really willing anymore, but the flesh was very very strong. and i've got very little money left, and i've got no sense, but I'll have none of your god damned impudence. the sun came up above the new white fields, everything was new again. pure power, stripped of meaning, sky burning, spring cleaning. daisies on the hillside like cancer on the skin. pretty little yellow eyes that flutter in the wind, I'd be grateful my children aren't here here to see this, if you'd ever seen fit to give me children. and my defenses may be working with a skeleton crew, but I'll be skinned alive before I'll take this from you. the sun came up above the ocean out west, all the colors of the rainbow. stand up straight, you can see the house leaning. day breaking, spring cleaning. poltergeist i can't stand it when you tell our infant son that he was born beneath a bad sign. and i can't stand it when smiles up at you just because you're his mother. and i can't stand the bitter thing that i've become beneath the four walls that hold up our ceiling. and i wonder when the house gets real quiet who between us will be the first one to give into the feeling. and i know you don't want me to hurt you tonight. and i, i don't want you to hurt me the way you do. i can't stand it when you put the boy to bed and ya sing him those songs i used to sing to you. yeah i can't stand to hear you sing those songs when you know you don't mean them. and i can't stand the way my body still remembers how much we used to mean to one another way back when. and i can't stand going back to seek the shelter of your arms. and then i can't stand it again. and i know you don't want me to hurt you tonight. and i, i don't want you to hurt me the way you do. |

In fact, for about 4 years, i've been thinking about getting this present as a tattoo: but i can't decide where to put it. 
And whether I should try to get it in that green color, or just an outline. thoughts? |
