Frank and I don’t have a ton of music that we both really love, but the Mountain Goats is definitely one of an agreed upon favorite. They are short, often poetic, decidedly lo-fi and I think a great example of relatable storytelling.
Listening to them kind of feels like sitting around a campfire with a really talented friend who is playing the guitar.
Lately, this song has been in my head a lot lately. No particular reason, just kind of haunting.
You Were Cool
This is one of “our” songs – Going to Georgia
And this is a recent favorite of mine – Damn These Vampires
What do you think?

Love The Mountain Goats. “Damn These Vampires” has definitely been one of the songs I’ve listened to over and over again thus year.

Right? It’s just so good!
Yeah I agree with you it is indeed a great song.
I love them! I’ve been listening to them for years since a friend suggested them.
