Playlist for tonight, after listening to my Laura Stevenson and the Cans record with Eileen before she had to go home.

Bonus post! A really nice demo version of High Hawk Season that I found when I looked up the original.
Day 5. A song with the most beautiful lyrics you know.
Ugh ok, this is hard. I’m just not really a lyrics person, you know? Even in songs where I do notice the lyrics, it’s usually just one or two lines that stick out to me.
So yeah. Even though ‘beautiful’ isn’t exactly how I’d describe this, and there are probably more fitting songs by the same band, here is High Hawk Season by the Mountain Goats, because, I don’t know, this song really speaks to me or something.
The Mountain Goats - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, live for the AV Club Undercover sessions.
Again, not one of the best, but a favourite, because you guys! I totally saw The Mountain Goats this year!

This one is basically just my favourite Mountain Goats songs, nothing surprising. Still, maybe you will enjoy it?
MFF#27 High Maintenance Machines
This doesn’t really require much explanation. It’s a compilation of my favourite songs by The Mountain Goats, just because I had felt like doing this for a while. Also Rob hates them, and it’s always fun to try to bother Rob.
It’s a highly subjective collection, and they have an absolutely ridiculous number of albums I haven’t even listened to, but these are my favourites and this is probably a pretty good introduction to The Mountain Goats (even if it will be obvious to fans what kind of Mountain Goats song I like best).
Here is the tracklist:
- Prowl Great Cain
- Dilaudid
- No Children
- Estate Sale Sign
- High Hawk Season
- Dinu Lipatti’s Bones
- Colour In Your Cheeks
- Jam Eater Blues
- Jenny
- Going To Georgia
- The Best Ever Death Metal Band
- This Year
- Dance Music
- Mountain Goats Shirt song (Live)
- See America Right
- Lion’s Teeth
- Oceanographer’s Choice
- No Children (live a capella version)
As always, click the picture to download it. It is not all tagged up properly like Rob’s are, but there is a .m3u file that will arrange everything for you in your media player.

Had to go find this to reblog it again. One of the best live versions of a song I’ve ever heard. I wish I’d been there, although it was pretty fucking great when I did see The Mountain Goats play this live. Actually I also wish I could find somewhere to download this…
