"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a song by the Los Angeles #folkRock band #theByrds, first released in June 1965 on the #Bside of the band's second single, "All I Really Want to Do". Despite initially being released as a B-side, the song managed to chart in its own right in the U.S., just outside the Billboard Hot 100. It was also included on the Byrds' debut album, #MrTambourineMan and #TheByrdsGreatestHits. The song was written by band member #GeneClark.

Ten Songs With … The Mountain Goats
“Ten Songs With…” is a new, irregular series of posts in which I explore the music of a group or artist I like but am only familiar with a small portion of their catalog. Unlike my previous Deep Dives series this will be more focused, limited to highlighting – yep, you guessed it – ten songs.
Ten Songs With … The Mountain Goats
I became aware of The Mountain Goats around 15 years ago, and am familiar with several songs the band has released over the past couple of decades. But I was surprised to learn that The Mountain Goats have been recording since 1991, and have released 24 studio albums – plus live albums, compilations, EPs, singles, cassettes, and limited releases. This was going to be a challenging catalog to explore!
The Mountain Goats are essentially a project of John Darnielle, born in Indiana, raised in California, and now based in North Carolina. While Darnielle attended Pitzer College from 1991 to 1995, he released his first recordings as The Mountain Goats. Many early recordings were just Darnielle and his guitar, but he was joined by Rachel Ware on bass and vocals from 1992 to 1996. Peter Hughes joined for a brief stint on bass and vocals in 1996, and then returned to play with the band from 2002 to 2024. The other two long-time members of the band are Jon Wurster, drummer since 2007, and Matt Douglas, a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist since 2015. Numerous other musicians and collaborators have contributed to The Mountain Goats sound live and in the studio.
The first decade of The Mountain Goats drew on Darnielle’s urgency to record songs as soon as possible by playing them straight into a tape recorder. While Darnielle returns to this “lo-fi” style from time to time, since the release of Tallahassee in 2002, albums by The Mountain Goats are typically recorded in a professional studio with a full band. Tallahassee was also the first album released on a major label, 4AD. The Mountain Goats later recorded with Merge Records for 15 years. Since 2025, new releases by The Mountain Goats are independently released on their own Cadmean Dawn label.
Darnielle is known as a talented lyricist with a literary style. Many songs are autobiographical and confessional, including stories of growing up with an abusive stepfather (on the album The Sunset Tree) and his addiction to methamphetamine just after high school (We Shall All Be Healed). A recurring theme across his works include song cycles about the dysfunctional “Alpha” couple, who argue in character through the song lyrics. Darnielle has also created concept albums based on his various interests such as the Bible (The Life of the World to Come), professional wrestling (Beat the Champ), and goth culture and music (Goths).
To prepare for this post, I searched for lists of “Best Albums” made by fans of The Mountain Goats, making a composite list. From this list, I chose to give a close listen to the ten albums that seemed most essential (see below) as well as various singles and playlists of the bands best songs. From this project I made my list of Ten Song, albeit it seems to only scratch the surface of The Mountain Goats’ outpout.

Album Recommendations – July 2026
I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed. Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.
Album: Wendy Eisenberg
Artist: Wendy Eisenberg
Genre: Folk Rock, Country Pop
Release Date: April 3, 2026
Label: Joyful Noise
Favorite Tracks:- Take a Number
- Meaning Business
- Old Myth Dying
- Vanity Paradox
- The Walls
An avant-guarde approach to folk music combined with introspection and a sense of hopefulness shape this album by the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter.
Album: Nine Inch Noize
Artist: Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize
Genre: Industrial Techno
Release Date: April 17, 2026
Label: The Null Corporation, Interscope
Favorite Tracks:- Heresy
- Parasite
- Came Back Haunted
- As Alive As You Need Me to Be
Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) collaborate on this compilation of live and remixed tracks from the Nine Inch Nails catalog. While I initially thought it was a mashup of boy bands with industrial techno, it’s still pretty cool if not legendary.
Album: Gongbu
Artist: Balming Tiger
Genre: Alternative K-Pop
Release Date: May 19, 2026
Label: Awal Recordings
Favorite Tracks:- Janjan
- Home
- It’s the Night
Balming Tiger is classified as K-Pop which is kind of absurd, since K-Pop is a whole music industry not a genre. And as an experimental music collective, Balming Tiger doesn’t even fit a genre.
Album: Ultra
Artist: Six Sex
Genre: Perreo, Electroclash
Release Date: June 6, 2026
Label: Dale Play
Favorite Tracks:- LOVE ME HATE ME
- CALIENTE
- BEAUTY privilege
- no more porn
Argentine Francisca Cuello electronic dance project Six Sex is kind of like if someone crossed reggaeton with Charli XCX.
Album: Olivia Rodrigo
Artist: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Geffen
Favorite Tracks:- drop dead
- stupid song
- maggots for brains
- the cure
- what’s wrong with me
- expectations
Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003 but is keeping the sounds of the 80s & 90s alive with her mix of synthpop, power pop, pop punk, and thoughtfully-worded ballads. She even features a guest appearance by Robert Smith of the Cure!
Album: Floyd Mercantile
Artist: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls
Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Righteous Babe Records
Favorite Tracks:- Some People
- Dreamers Awake
- Butterfly Kisses
Floyd Mercantile is the name of a store in rural Virginia where singer songwriters Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, and guitarist Ross Bellenoit recorded this album. It includes original works by Mulvey (whom I’ve been following for a long time) and Nicholls (who is new to me but has a lovely voice) and classic pop songs from the Great American Songbook, all in a folk/jazz style.
Album: Public Luxury
Artist: Downtown Boys
Genre: Punk Rock
Release Date: June 26. 2026
Label: Sup Pop
Favorite Tracks:- No Me Jodas
- The City Begins
- Yellow Sun
- You’re A Ghost
- Public Works
The socialist punk rock band from Providence, RI return with their first album since 2017’s Cost of Living.

A few noteables stop by to lend a hand: Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Nils Lofgren, Dr. John, David Crosby and Jerry Garcia. Oh, and that's the Memphis Horns putting out that big horn sound throughout the album.

Neil Young's Greendale is a really solid album. The often 7-13 minute runtimes for certain songs can try your patience, but it is perhaps one of the few really good and worthwhile albums he released in the 21st century. I gave it my first relisten in many years this afternoon after getting home from school.

Blonde On Blonde
#bobdylan #blondeonblonde #60sfolk #60srock #folkrock #orpheus #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #alkooper #robbierobertson #nashville June 20, 1966 ~ Orpheus releases rock's first double album. It's also the fitting capper to Dylan's mid-60's electric trilogy, following Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Originally recorded in New York with The Hawks and numerous backing musicians, only one song stood out.
