Don't care much for Van Morrison as a person, a notorious egotistical asshole and later an anti-vaxxer, but I'm rocking out to Moondance this morning while watching #f1 on mute and I can't deny it is an incredible record.

It's produced by Andy Wallace -- known for mixing Nirvana's Nevermind -- and deftly combines alternative rock, folk, blues and even some art-pop. All that and Buckley's four-octave range and you have something special. It had poor sales but over the years its reputation has risen to legend.

It is such a crime that Miss Misery had to compete against one of the most iconic movie songs of all time, cause any other Oscars I think Elliott Smith would have won deservingly.

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.

1994 Zopilote Machine
1995 Sweden
1997 Full Force Galesburg
2000 The Coroner’s Gambit
2002 All Hail West Texas
2002 Tallahassee
2005 The Sunset Tree
2008 Heretic Pride
2012 Transcendental Youth
2017 Goths

My Ten Songs

“Alpha Incipiens” – Zopilote Machine (1994)

“No Children” – Tallahassee (2002)

“Alpha Rats Nest” – Tallahassee (2002)

“This Year” – The Sunset Tree (2005)

“Dance Music” – The Sunset Tree (2005)

“Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1” – Transcendental Youth (2012)

“The Legend of Chavo Guerrero” – Beat the Champ (2015)

“Rain in Soho” – Goths (2017)

“Training Montage” – Bleed Out (2022)

“Rocks in My Pockets” – Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan (2025)

Have you listened to The Mountain Goats? If so, let me know your favorite songs in the comments.

Listening to the new Phoebe Bridgers this morning. So far I like it but not as much as any of her albums that came before (including Boygenius and Better Oblivion Community Center) but I still have a handful of songs to change my mind. It uses a lot of electronic manipulation which I'm meh about. I've wanted to like this one more than I do but I've still saved the vast majority of songs to my master playlist so its like good.

Self-Titled Saturday | Brama (2024, France)

For our next STS 2.0 spotlight, we’re going to take a look at number 0y[1] on The List, submitted by riff. Here’s a quick rundown:

Point of origin(s): This group began in 2019 as a psychedelic power trio with Simon Guy (lead vocals, guitar), Paolo Gauthier (drums, vocals), and Baptiste Lherbeil (hurdy-gurdy, vocals). Yes, hurdy-gurdy. The album we look at here is Brama’s debut LP, following their 2022 EP La Glane. Their lyrics are in the Occitan language – continuing their partnership seen on the EP with Dominique Decomps, a professor/translator of Occitan, Decomps wrote or co-wrote the lyrics for nearly all the songs, with the final track using a traditional text.
Tasting notes: Translated from their Bandcamp: “Brama’s music draws as much from the violin music of the Massif Central, as from the Pakistani Qawali, the guitar from Mali, the German krautrock and the ritualistic rock riff full of fuzz. Always sunny and hypnotic, Brama invites you into a ceremony at the crossroads of a tarantella and a psychedelic rock’n’roll mass. The hurdy-gurdy as a liturgical organ, the guitar/bass as an exorcised subject and the shamanic voice, mistress of worship.” The Quietus review of this album compared them to Mdou Moctar “in the way they revitalise hoary rock tropes through a combination of local flair, blistering musicianship and infectious enthusiasm”,[2] and I’d have to agree.
Standout track: “S’enraija”, but, also, all of them rock.
Where are they now?: Brama is now a quartet, with Amandine Pauvert at the hurdy-gurdy helm and Antony Miranda on bass.
Websites: Bandcamp, Discogs (has links to their socials)

Happy listening!

We use 0 followed by a letter to denote albums on The List that weren’t in Discogs at the time of adding (or at least I couldn’t find them). I’ve since found this one on Discogs, but the entry is currently separate from the already established page for the group. ↩︎
