The Mountain Goats - Alpha Omega

"Alpha Omega" by The Mountain Goats. Off of the album "Protein Source of the Future... Now!".

The unwashed masses require access to this wonderful song. Lyrics:

On the morning you went away
the air was humid and the sky was gray

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

the air was wet, my face was wetter
the pink flowers along the western window made me feel better
I turned the air conditioner on
found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

I popped the top off of the aluminum can
let the brine slide down my fingers, man
it was warm, it was warm on my skin
but i felt the cold blast looming on in

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

this is quite honestly the best cinematography our generation has seen. thebradybrunsh are to be worshiped like mountain goats in the Rockys

I spend most of my year in Georgia and it's a great place but they're so silly sometimes.

Delicious pictures make me want to have some boiled peanuts.

he knows that now, and when he does it live he says it right.

It's not Keye-ro. It's KAY-ro.

@MrSoggySocks The song quality is often low because John Darnielle was militantly lo-fi and often has recorded on boomboxes, etc. The Tennessee and Sunset Tree albums sound pretty polished, if you're looking for higher-quality recordings only.

they are all over you tube and you can buy it places where they sell it .

I just added on my to-do-before-death list: go to cairo, Gerogia; have boiled peanuts for breakfast.

@upinyodamngrill I hail from South Carolina, a place where boiled peanuts are sold at every corner store. I know they look disgusting, and in fact, they feel sort of disgusting, too, but trust me. . .they're very very good. They're soft, juicy, and palpable, with a salty sort of fullness. They're almost meat like in their fullness. You just have to make sure they're well boiled, or they. . .well, they get kind of nasty.

It's probably been eight months since you've thought about boiled peanuts
