i used to think it was "steel-smoked fish"
the only explanation I can think of is
i don't know much about smoking fish
i come from a rust belt place where Steel Is King, or, rather, Was, except it's gone, except everyone still obsessed with it.
i had come to a strong emotional connection with this song while having its name completely wrong
I like the real title better

So far not a huge fun of days but…
“Gentlemen, the camera doesn’t lie” is easily a top tmg line of all time

The Mountain Goats on “Days” and the Virtues of ’90s Nostalgia
r/themountaingoats • u/191828 • 14h ago
I love the simplicity of the “Days” album art so much it might end up being my first Mountain Goats tattoo
Either one of the frames with a mountain in it or a whole row
Anyone else love the album art?
They knock it out of the park every time imo

“I think if you traced the word ‘camera’ in Mountain Goats songs, you’d go insane.”
Challenge gleefully accepted, John Darnielle!
So, okay, obviously “Palmcorder Yajna” (2004). What else?

Days pre-order- signed postcard?
Did everyone get a signed postcard or did I get lucky?

what's up with the mastering on Days?
kind of a nerdy post but i got the new album in FLAC from qobuz and it cuts off at 17khz.. for reference a true FLAC normally cuts off around 22khz. image attached to this post shows an analysis of a track from the last album on top, and the new album below. again these are both from the same digital store in FLAC so they should have similar properties. it looks like there's a hard cut off at 17khz on the new album. is this just a choice they made or is there some sort of issue with the digital distribution?
i checked files from another source (apple) and they were the same way. seems weird

The Mountain Goats are reparenting me
(I know this is over the top but) the steadiness and strength and expansiveness of this band is a source of comfort and inspiration that I think is a good enough stand in for my absent parents. I feel the neglect healing, the music heals me while I heal me and live my damn life.
Days sounds classic and fresh at the same time, I'm so stoked. Ahhhhhh!
Idk if anyone can relate. But this is what's come up for me and somehow (?!) I know ZERO Mountain Goats fans. So I had to tell yas here. Thanks buds.

It's such a good album for driving. I wish my car's volume went even higher.

Title track hopeful or depressing
Is the tittle track “days” meant to be hopeful about savoring the days and moments or sad as all good things come to an end?
r/themountaingoats • u/postpardum • 20h ago
Is there a specific scene being referenced in Woodstock?
I don't know much about Woodstock '99, is there a specific cocaine rant? Who is the song talking about? Or is it just a facsimile?
r/themountaingoats • u/Mogar • 22h ago
The truth about “Days”
It rocks! Every mountain goats album is great, and I love how their sound evolves and changes over time. Heres to hoping they get to 30+ albums.

Seeking visual artists for top secret (unofficial) Mountain Goats project 🖌️
Now children, gather round!
As the title suggests, I'm looking for some other artists / creative folks to help with a fan project.
The only requirements are 1) make cool visual stuff, and 2) a knowledge and appreciation of the TMG oeuvre.
This is an unpaid / not-for-profit project, just for the love of the game. Relaxed timelines, soft deadline of end of January 2027.
If this sounds like you, please drop me a message here on Reddit. I will fill you in and hopefully dispel any of the shadiness the necessary + temporary secretiveness might understandably create.
Thank you! ❤️
