"Psalms 40:2" - Mountain Goats
Rounded out my Thanksgiving festivities by seeing the Mountain Goats in a small club in Philadelphia last night. It was an extraordinary show. John Darnielle brings such a strange combination of joy in performing while singing songs in which anger, frustration, and substance abuse figure prominently.
They ended the evening with the "Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton" and the raucous shouts of "Hail Satan!" from an adoring audience.
If you get the chance to see them, especially in this full band format (the drummer is superb and really brings a lot to the sound -- they have also added a lead guitarist who is very restrained and tasteful), by all means do.
Have a great Sunday. I'll be riding the "Superbus" from the City of Brotherly Love back to DC. It beats driving at least.
