“You Were Cool” remembers and celebrates a bullied classmate | Music | Hear This | The A.V. Club
John played this at the show in October. There’s enough vagueness that it could be about anyone who was bullied, but the details he chooses to include in the lyrics are specific in places, as well.
TL;DR: I am still in love with the Mountain Goats.

Or there really IS a satin and he is actively trying to destroy any place that believes in God. Wake UP people. there is a real life spiritual battle going on in this world. One side wants to destroy the other. don’t be fooled by propaganda like this. It’s what the enemy wants you to believe.

John Darnielle sings Billy Bragg’s “Power in a Union” in support of Wisconsin public employees
Re-posting this in celebration of ruling that struck down Scott Walker’s law gutting the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin public employees.
As a sidenote: Can I say how much I enjoy that this song uses the tune from “Battle Cry of Freedom”, for a message that both supports freedom and kicks at the “Rally ‘Round the Flag” line? Maybe I’m just a music nerd, but I 1) love when songs are subverted and 2) think this is a really cool tribute to the fact that most early labor songs were based on hymms or traditional songs because people knew them.
