    in all my years of loving the mountain goats, i have NEVER seen the tattoos on johns arms before

      He's usually very adamant about how his tats are personal and that he doesn't want them seem.

      Well, as of about 2008 or 9 he did not have any visible. Check the video for Sax Rohmer 1.

      Plus he wears so many cool rockstar jackets and blazers on stage...I met him at the pfunky griddle a pancake place in Nashville across from black bird studio and he literally had just finished recording the vocals for Sicilian crest, he wasn't wearing his glasses and the only reason I recognized him was his tattoos and also when I heard his voice when he ordered I was like holy shit Mr darnielle you're my hero. He gave me 6 hugs and had a 10 minute conversation with me. Greatest most genuine human being I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

    possums are my favorite animal in the world. The mountain goats are my favorite band in the world. Thanks John, I will never forget that high five after you played at my college when i was much younger, chaotic and reckless. I am 0% surprised that John is a metal head, I'd love to have a cig with him, even though i don't smoke anymore ha ha. Thanks for getting me through the toughest parts of my life John, you are helping people whether they tell you or not

    One day i will get on my feet. There wont be any more bellyaching or missed meals. There will come a time when i have a say in my well being.
    And when that time comes i will fill my collection with everything "the mountain goats."
    Ive been in hosptials and to therapy and ive had every pill known to man. The only thing that seems to help is a 6 pack and a good healthy dose of the mountain goats music.
    I will walk on dry land and sing praises of the mountain goats until they take it away from me.

      Kenneth Fiend “Tallahassee” is the second album of theirs I listened to and I still think it’s my favorite if not tied with “The Coroner’s Gambit” which is a little harder to get into because of the audio quality of the production. Can’t go wrong with “The Sunset Tree” either, their most popular and acclaimed album to date
