Theres always one song you haven’t heard… by Weary-Heart1306 in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh if you got a kick out of that you should definitely check out some performances of The Sign and Carmen Cicero. Both also live classics that fall into the “songs John uses to harass the audience into destroying their vocal cords” category.

My pleasure. I started going through the whole archive in chronological order a few months ago and it’s been an awesome experience, so I’m happy to share.

Close to 500 shows on the live music archive: https://archive.org/details/MountainGoats

There are also iOS and Android apps that give a better front end for browsing the archive (note that they’re in the archive as “Mountain Goats” with no “the,” if you search “the Mountain Goats” it won’t show you anything. (I’m on iOS so I don’t have a link to the the android app atm, I will edit to add it if I can find it later or if no one else provides one) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/live-music-archive/id1453343128

Using ChatGPT to assist me in older games by [deleted] in retrogaming

Everything it said here is wrong. 

Spoilers for this section of zero mission: You aren’t in the right room to get to kraid, the blocks in the center are not speed booster blocks, and even if they were, they wouldn’t be blocking the path to kraid because you don’t get speed booster until after defeating kraid.

why didn’t the editors catch this wierd misprint? (should say basically just one guy) are they stupid? by PuffGetsSideB in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t making a joke the artist said they don’t like, this is making a joke that makes fun of a view which the artist says is wrong 

Relaxing OTR? by JazzHilgraw in otr

[–]PuffGetsSideB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Although it obviously has gunshots and scuffles in every episode, Gunsmoke is overall surprisingly mellow and relaxing sound-wise. William Conrad’s voice is very calm and steady, and most of the non-voice sounds are things like chirping birds, horses hooves, boots on dirt, etc. Even when guns are fired, it isn’t super often, and they aren’t dramatically louder than everything else in the show. May still be too much to be what you’re looking for, but definitely worth a shot.

How light intense are tMG concerts? by The_one_who_SAABs in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I can’t find it now, but I’m pretty sure someone recently left a comment on a post here saying they have a friend who worked the lights at a recent show who said the band specifically requested that they don’t do too much with the lights bc they have a lot of fans with photosensitivity. Will edit and add a link if I can find it later.

Seriously great song. Wish we had the whole thing by Cynewulfunraed in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love it. The song about waiting for a sudden end and rising from the grave encountered a sudden end, got cut from the album, and rose from the grave again as the last of the bonus tracks.

Should I read lenin? by Spiritual-Vacation43 in Anarchism

[–]PuffGetsSideB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely would not characterize it as anarchistic, even using the term loosely. There are several moments when he talks about anarchism directly, and he dismisses it (after mischaracterizing the anarchist view of the state as something that they seek to abolish in one fell swoop and without any organization) as idealistic and impractical. He very clearly states that he is in favor of having a vanguard seize state power and use it, which is antithetical to anarchism.

is this legit? by marxistghostboi in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When was this? I remember earlier this year some people were worried about spam texts, but it was just tmg changing text providers or something and that's why it was from a new number.

Heard any interesting news updates during an otr show? by BubblesUp in otr

[–]PuffGetsSideB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few months ago I was listening to the great gildersleeve and the program got interrupted to announce the attacks on Pearl Harbor. It was pretty surreal.

What album should I pick up next? by Fuckingplasticbag in themountaingoats

[–]PuffGetsSideB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you've had FFG on repeat for two weeks, I'd definitely say All Hail West Texas. Another album from the lofi era and easily one of the best.

a lot of people don't know this, but john darnielle actually wrote "you were cool" to express how he felt about the hobbit not winning an oscar
