I am having a serious moment with Devil in the Shortwave.
And when I say “moment” I mean “expanse of time filled beautifully by playing it over and over again”.
I’m pretty much convinced that there is no Mountain Goats release I won’t eventually fall incapacitatingly headlong for.
the Mountain Goats - Soft Targets
we embrace on the floor in the kitchen
emissaries from neighbouring lands
when I hunt down the vampire that did this to us
I will rip out his heart with my hands
This month I was planning to make a fake mix tape that focused on Australian-accented singers, but then I found out about some music being released next month that I’m certain to want to include. So here’s something else.

It has become apparent over the past month or so that I might have a problem.
the Mountain Goats - Rockin’ Rockin’ Pet Store (Detroit, MI, 2004-10-04)
I haven’t been having a great time lately, but this reminds me about feeling good. The song, and the talking after it as well.

Life has given me an opportunity to get my mope on. Who needs therapy when you’ve got mixtapes?
I’m well and truly breaking some of my self-imposed rules about such things, but I’m allowed because it’s a special occasion.

Been listening to Daisies of the Galaxy and Get Lonely a whole lot over the last couple of weeks. It’s almost as though I’ve been feeling sad about something, or something.
I feel a fake mix tape coming on.
Apparently JD doesn’t want people downloading/stealing/sharing his Flickr photos, so you should definitely click on this link to see a picture of him and a goat titled “glasses schmasses”.
![[image: my ten most recently played tracks as displayed by last.fm. The third song in the list is “One In A Million” by the Pet Shop Boys. All the rest are “Outer Scorpion Squadron” by the Mountain Goats.]
So it goes.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr1ubnqw9W1qz4fv0o1_500.png)
