And someone leads the beast in on its chain
My mammoth review of the new Mountain Goats album (one of the best of the year, guys! top three for me, probably) is up today at PopMatters. I'm grateful to whoever at PM tracked down the video of Darnielle doing "Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace" solo piano, because I definitely hadn't seen that before. And I'm both flattered and amused to see that the most effusive of the tweetings that the review has gotten so far is from an old colleague.
