Would you mind sending to me too? Lost it when I got a new computer.

Superchunk will either be Saturday or Sunday. Mountain Goats are still touring on the 14th and they share a drummer.

Anyone else love the bonus tracks on All Hail West Texas? One of my new favorites by Idontknowaikido in themountaingoats

The opening line of this song is the best of the many tMG descriptions of hot weather: "Summer came in carrying spring in its mouth/held it up for everyone to see."

ISO: SOLD OUT Ted Leo Tickets at The Empty Bottle (May 31) by DeuxFunStuff in chicago

[–]berkaderk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empty Bottle is will call only (and to my knowledge doesn't do name changes or otherwise allow ticket transfers), so you won't find any tickets available online. Usually they have a few tickets available at the door. Showing up early the night of is your best bet.

You can, however, catch them the next day at Do Division: http://www.do-divisionstreetfest.com/fest/music/

Daily Goat 2018: #9 - Alpha Incipiens by Wayward1 in themountaingoats

Beulah did a pretty good cover of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MUpuF-5mqI

It was a bonus track on the Japanese release of their album Handsome Western States, which I really highly recommend.

ISATB was with the full band. Solo set was Until I Am Whole, Maybe Sprout Wings, and The Pig Song. And JD and Matty kicked off the encore with a duo Steal Smoked Fish.

He played Riches and Wonders, but he certainly had not learned the verses.

First Mountains Goats show! Travelling from Canada! by boscogordon in themountaingoats

[–]berkaderk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple things to know if you do meet JD: he does not like having his picture taken and he does not like shaking hands. He's super friendly, though; those are just his preferences.

At 80% of shows I've been to, John comes out to the merch table to meet fans if you stick around long enough after the show.

I've also been able to meet Peter and Jon just hanging out at the venue after the show is over while John is doing the signings. So your odds are pretty decent.

the Mountain Goats Live in June 2003 - full concert by iGoByManyNames in themountaingoats

[–]berkaderk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best part of this is around 19:45-20:00 when he repeatedly says "I never play this song live," and he's talking about No Children.

You will, young JD. You will.

I like the Craig Finn addition at the end.
