i bow without grace. my heart isn't in this any longer. it's not that i don't care about the mountain goats, but, well, it turns out that about thirty or forty posts is all i needed to feel like i'd exorcised some of the feelings i had locked up. i don't have any reservations about this. i'd rather disband than have this get worse than it's been for the past handful of posts.
i'll have a new blog soon. people who know who i am will probably be able to find me.

a blog entirely about the mountain goats, how i feel about the mountain goats, conducted with all the hot breath of play-by-play, potentially in view of revelation though likely not
a note
this blog is called emotional karaoke because i will only write about the songs while i listen to them, for as long as it takes me to listen. granted, i've heard them before, but getting wound up by a favorite band while you listen is part of the point.
this blog has no aspiration to write about every song ever written by john darnielle. i am, like you, mortal.

so...when does your blog about Ween begin?
Now I feel bad for having not commented sooner. But I enjoyed reading, so thank you.
Thanks for what you've done. I think it's better to hit the songs you have something to say about. This sort of thing can't be a chore or it won't be any good.
... and if sometime you have something else to say, well, you have a place to say it.
Sorry to see EK go but I understand. Loved it while it lasted though.
All good things must come to an end.
please consider letting me know about your new blog. thanks & godspeed.
stellar, and i stumbled upon it too late.
may i follow you into the digital ether?
(secretlysocial (at) gmail). thx.
Is this really the end of the only Mountain Goats blog? I can't believe I'm a year late. At various points in my life I have listened to the lo-fi musings of John Darnielle on a daily basis and have always found them worthy of commentary. Good to see someone has made the leap.
