    Anyone else periodically forget about this album because it isn’t on spotify and then suddenly remember it and feel this overwhelming urge to listen to it and cry

    Such a nostalgic EP for me. It was freshman year and I sustained a traumatic brain injury within the first month. Was living in the dorms, on a busy floor, but I would withdraw to myself, smoke weed and go to the library late at night to play Diablo 2 and listen to this album on repeat.

      I know what you mean... i know what i mean anyway... i sustained a few alcohol related OD's and can tell you; The Mountain Goats may have saved me back then. I don't care if you wouldn't understand how much your music means to me, John. Just know it does if you ever read this for some reason.

      Lost my health freshman year too. Moved far from home. Then I got crippled 2 months in, no explanation, lost the ability to walk on my own, lost control of my hands and suddenly I was so weak. I remember listening to the mountain goats so often, over and over, thinking of how I was trying my best.
      It does get better. It really does. Now I'm junior year and still can't walk without a cane, but I go to the roof of the engineering faculty at night in winter and sing the mountain goats as much as I want. Feels less alone.

    Black Pear Tree is absolutely on the highest tier of all tMG releases. John lyrically and vocally in peak form with dazzling, diverse arrangements of sound. Every track is a stunner.
    11/10

    Im very glad I have this EP, and will forever be grateful to the person who showed me it. This EP has made me cry more times than I can count and helped me through a lot, and I'm sure I'll be coming back to it still years from now. God bless The Mountain Goats, and god bless everyone else who has ever and will ever need this EP like I have, I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. Someday we will all walk out of here free

    Echoing everyone else who said thank you for posting this! Black Pear Tree has become one of my all-time Mountain Goats songs. I never ever thought I would hear it live so it was incredibly special and emotional when tMG played it at a show in Buffalo a few years back.

    I've been listening to this since 2016, the year it was posted. It's crazy to think of how much things have changed since then and yet I'm still an avid fan of this album and TMG as a whole.

    • @notasfarwest
      @notasfarwest  Před 9 měsíci +4

      it's because it was self-released, there's no record label to put it on spotify. same reason moon colony bloodbath or come come to the sunset tree aren't there. john could do it if he wanted to but it would probably have to transfer to merge or something. when devil in the shortwave and those EPs showed up on streaming this year they're just copyrighted to "the mountain goats" so its possible this one will appear someday.

      Thanks. Not familiar with John Vanderslice and some how I missed moon colony bloodbath first time round. 34 seconds into the first track, surrounded, had to come back and say thanks.

      I absolutely love Moon Colony And I'm curious how you felt about the rest of it? I'd love to hear it for the first time again. I hear Pale White Moon Shines Down on Colorado and I'm hooked everytime.

    Was the songwriting collaborative here?

    • @notasfarwest
      @notasfarwest  Před 5 lety +21

      i don't know for certain but i think jd wrote all the lyrics, roger patterson van and mosquito repellent are both 100% kaki's intrumentals with jd's words over the top (bring our curses home might also be this? not sure) and then jd wrote the others but kaki like fancied them up for the album? that's my best guess. basically if a guitar part is way better than jd's usual it's kaki

      there are ads in this?? if there are i def dont make anything lol, i had no idea. just checked and there are no copyright claims on this video either, so i'm surprised there are ads. i have literally never made a penny from this account and have no desire to, please block the ads with ublock origin or something
