drugs are an underground cultural network as much as music

themountaingoats.bsky.social•151 days ago

also my own life

bigpoppaluke.bsky.social•151 days ago

Well, yeah…
There is that too.

I always wanted to read about the early years and albums to see how it matched with the mythology in my head of you traveling around with a 4-track and a guitar. Wasn't there a song recorded with the help of a kitchen mixer in the background? Has anyone ever interviewed you about this?

themountaingoats.bsky.social•151 days ago

There was often a lot of sound in the bg which I liked. But I didn’t do the wandering troub thing, I worked 40 hrs/week

themountaingoats.bsky.social•151 days ago

I did not have a four track and did not really travel at all.

jaykellett.bsky.social•151 days ago

Mind blown.

Thanks for the tip on Yazz Ahmed. So good - need to find out who the piano player is…..

“How I ended up in a Dory Previn YouTube wormhole”

also i just want to say i was at a 🏳️‍⚧️ open mic this sunday and it was mostly "boo hoo, the relationship i had in my twenties" with a smattering of esoteric religious practice, but the single biggest applause line was "I should get back into listening to the mountain goats" so, thanks for that. okbye~

warmwestwind.bsky.social•151 days ago

i mostly listen to you off mp3s from slsk and if they ever DMCA it i might actually kms

theirculese.bsky.social•150 days ago

How do you know?

The other good thing about physical media is that you can listen to these mementos of one’s time on the planet even if the internet fails at some point. Sorry to be apocalyptic. Weird times!

Never stop pirating and sharing stuff

mohmi.bsky.social•151 days ago

I'm so pumped John mountain goats knows zoomer bob dylan.

elskwhite.bsky.social•150 days ago

Same. Dunno why, but it satisfies some part of my soul.

How do I get in on the secret sneakernet napster? They had this in Havana Cuba when I visited

bartsmith.bsky.social•151 days ago

Mipso did one as well and as of now, it’s still up

snortrax.bsky.social•150 days ago

He’s great I didn’t like his take when T//rump got shot at
he did make a post that was a bit centristy but otherwise good shit

aquaphase.23rdlegion.com•151 days ago

There are many ways to share digital formats that don't involve major social platforms, too. Just sayin'.

themountaingoats.bsky.social•151 days ago

Yes but the communal aspect I’m talking about is enriched through physical trading — I believe this ardently

jeffhamilton.bsky.social•151 days ago

makes sense, because trading is reciprocity - i have to give something up to trade it to someone, they have to give something up to give it to me - which forms more of a relationship than when i give up nothing to post a link to something online

aquaphase.23rdlegion.com•151 days ago

100%. Trading is absolutely vital to keeping the weird little communities going. My oodles of tapes each have a story that is completely separate from the music that is on them. That's half the fun.

snowlikeash.bsky.social•151 days ago

Keep circulating the tapes!
