Man, I wish they'd dig this one up again. What a phenomenal performance of a phenomenal song.

Coroner's Gambit barely on tune poorly recorded intensity was my first exposure to the Mountain Goats. loved Darnielle since.

spot. on. description. admittedly, what i consider "the best jd/tmg" is incredibly fluid & heavily dependent on my mood & headspace... and yet, for some unknown reason, one thing never changes: unhinged jd is the version of jd i like best ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

In the chord sheet it literally says "try to break the strings"

(rly love the pre song banter, so here it is transcribed ❤) Hey! So-- so this is a song about a couple of people in a car. And uh, and it's kind of hot in the car though it’s cold outside, and the reason it’s hot in the car is the seething temperature of their hatred. And it’s sort of like, you know, it's one of those situations where you’re really-- let’s say you're in this car. You’ve probably at some point, odds are pretty good you've been in this car at some point, right? And uh, and at one point or another you look over at the speedometer, and it says seventy-five, you're riding shotgun, and-- and you think, you do this sort of quick calculation-- you don't really know, you're not a physicist, you know? Much less a criminal investigator, anything like that. You're just a person in a car that you wish you weren’t in, and-- but you think, “if i... pop the door and drop and roll… and i tuck my elbows in… between here and the bushes at the shoulder, what's the damage i sustain?” And you picture your lifeless, unconscious body rolling… down the beautiful hill, and you see yourself as though in a japanese film, and think, “y’know, i might make it, and maybe i will look up, and i will see the last bit of the car speeding away from me, and i will-- and i will count that as a victory.” this song-- this song is about people who have chosen whatever the opposite of victory is. It's called family happiness.
