“What Mountain Goats Song Should You Be Listening To?” the writer Emma Stanford asks in the title to a really funny list of life situations and the Mountain Goats songs that go with them. For instance: “If you’re in love with someone and it feels OK, but you’re pretty sure it’s going to get worse from here” AND “you like references to Aristotelian poetics and you’re in a car”: “The Recognition Scene.” Also: “If you’re in love with someone and it feels great, but that’s mostly because you’re a teenager and you don’t have a lot else to feel good about” AND “there are UFOs”: “Tulsa Imperative.” And finally: “If you’re in a mutually destructive relationship and it’s making you horny”: “Oceanographer’s Choice.”
I've read every article on this site and loved them all. I always want to comment this but haven't got anything much further to add. As a long-time Mountain Goats fan I really like how these articles let me listen with new ears to the songs discussed. I really appreciate the effort you've gone to. Thanks!
That's really great to hear, thanks!
