The Mountain Goats song I posted is from their first "studio" album (everything else was recorded one-track, live into a boom box) and their music has gotten better and better as they've become an actual three member band and not just a recording moniker for John Darnielle. Their latest album, Transcendental Youth, is musically almost on par with the lyrics, which is saying something. Very jazzy, a lot of songs feature a horn section, and it works great. I love the idea of a music thread. Also, I just posted the YouTube link straight into the reply box. Quote:

If these lyrics were a book; it would be one of your favorites... Silver Jews - Random Rules (1998) - YouTube

Keith's creatively ludicrous character work was great as usual but it was when Danny took over playing her that I lost it*. Then the exchange between Keith and Danny directly after caused me the further loss of it.
"You know what, it's an odd relationship you two have." "Ehhhh, It's 2013 baby, who's to say what's odd and what's not?" "Have you guys met each other?" "Daaaah, who's to say what's meeting?" I'm in maximum agreement with Chemda that the piece Danny read was very impressive too. * It (n.) The ability to not laugh. |

Absolutely loved the short story. I really got sucked and and could visualize the world that Danny created in it. Makes me want to try and get back into short story writing myself but describing an environment and scenery has always been hard for me.

There's not too many times I've backed up an episode and played it over and over again but on this - that piece by Danny was fucking electrifying. Yes, Keith, he knocked it out of the park.

Most definitely - do it. The environment of the mind and emotions can be just as visual in those introspective pieces. Case in point is Danny's piece. There is a lot going in visually that is told simply and beautifully.

Wow! I have had a lot on my mind lately so I was thinking about my own life issue while listening to TTSWD. When I tuned back in Danny was reading. I thought I wonder what book he is reading from? This sounds like a good book. Then when he was done I realized he was reading his own witting. Danny you are truly a talented writer. Again wow.

I just read Gone Girl today after hearing it suggested on this ep yesterday evening (I love days off work).
It's a good story. It didn't completely hook me (I caught myself looking at the pages read/pages left count multiple times), but it was enjoyable. Danny and Emmy are right, the way it went was very unexpected (a great thing). I was somewhat disappointed in the ending (no spoilers), but oh wells.. still happy I read it. Thanks guys! Also, great story/reading, Danny! |
