the narrator and mountain goats
i buy a lot of cds in clearance these days
thirteen dollar chances i wasn't ready to take
i also rummage through my bandmates and friends music collections
these are two cds i wish someone had told me about sooner
(1) the narrator-such triumph
there's nothing new on this album, but does it matter when a band is doing what they want to do and doing well?
the narrator gets all sorts of comparisons (q and not u, sonic youth, etc.), but by the end of the third song "ergot blues"
these comparisons are distant memories
listen to the narrator HEAR
(2) the mountain goats-sunset tree
this is an album i almost bought last january, but something kept me from spending the money. so, when jamie came home with it, i was pretty excited. i had no idea what john darnielle sounded like when he sang. i found it off-putting because it was so nasal, but after i heard the song "this year", even if he wasn't ever going to be my favorite vocalist, mr darnielle immediately became a distant musical personality i couldn't help but root for.
he has a new record out (yesterday) and he is a fine fellow who brought our engineer Aaron Prellwitz on to assist in the recording of the last and new record, Get Lonely, so, i continue to root for him and listen.
