Song Of The Week – The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia

The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia

The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again: its the most extraordinary thing in the world.

I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch.

The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.

The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you and that you are standing in the doorway and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.

The world throws its light underneath your hair, forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere, going to Georgia.

The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.

The Tallest Man On Earth 4-20-2010

the wild hunt

thousand ways

pistol dreams

the gardner

love is all

shallow grave

where do my bluebirds fly

you’re going back

troubles will be gone

burden of tomorrow

kind of spain

this wind

like the wheel

Song Of The Week – Neutral Milk Hotel – Everything Is

Everything Is was the first recording mass-released by Neutral Milk Hotel, which at this point was largely still an outlet for the songwriting of Jeff Mangum, instead of a fully formed band. The recording was originally the second release on the fledgling Seattle label Cher Doll Records in 1994. The label in the form of a 7″, with “Everything Is” as the A side, and “Snow Song, Pt. 1″ as the B side. The first 50 7″s pressed also featured different artwork, with each sleeve being personally xeroxed by Mangum.
