The Mountain Goats - Old College Try

[thebigcheesy]

@AsphodelsAce <.<.... who told?

[thebigcheesy]

Even with the scratchy audio this is my favorite copy of Old College Try.

[OhGoditsJoshua]

JD LIVED IN PORTLAND FUCK

[delusionaldiminutive]

There's something about PPH's voice that just goes perfectly with JD's. He only sings little snatches here and there in songs but it colors everything so much more richly. His voice is just the perfect mix of sweet and bitter. Love PPH :D

[SunshineInWoods]

The acoustic guitar part is too similar to "This Year"...

[cumulusdiscord]

@SunshineInWoods Make no mistake, all of Darnielle's songs are the same four chords, the beauty is in the lyrics and the delivery.

[boiledhooker]

@cumulusdiscord that is the mark of a true musical genius

[RatedRGambini4Life]

@SunshineInWoods yes many same cords but either way Old College Try came out before This Year did.

[crouchieify]

what camra r u using?

[ArizonaDurden]

Exhilaration in Desperation. Excellent!

[dopeybear420]

this is a bad ass song...means alot

[lukeisastalker]

they were in Philadelphia fuck

[cavan132]

THEY WERE IN TORONTO FUCk

[EffingAndJeffing]

They looks just like I imagined they would. XD

[adking80]

Aw man I remember missing this show and being super annoyed. I love this song.

[zombie101010]

yeah morel oral YAH!! lol...lame

[ClayPuppington]

fuckin sweet, the recorded version is better this is missing something

[blithium]

It's too fast. He's singing it more like a song of self-pity, instead of a shaky relationship that he's trying to save.

[boiledhooker]

@ClayPuppington the Hammond E3 organ

[JesustheLizard]

wicked mind and voice

[quicksilverstew]

I must thank AS' producer for turning Dino on to the Mountain Goats, who he put in his show, which led to me discovering them.

[morelltechyahoocom]

I love "Moral Orel". I love the character development, and the bizarre relations it gives to people I know and experiences from reality.

[rancidwes]

i like the mountain goats, especially this song, and enjoy moral orel too, but this performance was just mediocre.

[Insomniawesome]

You don't go to a lot of shows, do you?

[Tsukikagerou]

I love this song, and morel oral did a nice job with it. I did think it was interesting about Clay and Bloberta. I can't wait to see more of the story.

[LuckyD13]

beautiful song glad i found out who it was

[riverboy56]

on moral oral this song is on ep help

[matchewzits]

yeah, that was a good episode. i always thought orels dad was just a mean guy, but now i know that it wasnt his fault, it's actually bloberta who made him that way. damn that was a curveball i didnt see coming.

[dicksonsticks]

hah thats where i first heard this song..its great.

[KDJADEDGLORY]

For some reason I do believe it was Clay's mom's fault. She spoiled him. She had to know what would happen in the future when he would stop being spoiled. Bloberta really needed to be spoiled when she was married but because Clay only knew how to receive and not give their marriage was a crock.

[riverboy56]

and his dead in job is being mayor of moralton thats wild

[thezeppo929]

listening to these guys is the only time i wish i was an american :P he makes that accent so great, i'm aussie :D so i love everything about me (not self absorbed at all) but but i can't sing these songs :(

[myothernamewastaken2]

Ive noticed a lot of Aussies love everything about themselves, and hate Americans a LOT. its odd. though im sure Australia's pretty awesome. I just get into random fights with Australians that I dont even start. Plus yanks? eh.

[niggyz0rz]

This seems like it was an incredible show. I'd give anything to have been there.

I've yet to hear a Mountain Goats song that I didn't love.

[Annarulz227]

Peter Hughes is awesome!!!!! :) this rocks

[Mntgoatsfan]

"In the tips of my fingers

In the skin on my face

In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light

In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place

Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell

Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell

I will walk down to the end with you"

I love this song!
