Not my link, but I know it works:

I adore The Mountain Goats. Their music has meant a lot to me, this past year especially. I've been on a huge kick and am buying and digesting all of their (his) albums one at a time. "Heretic Pride" is beautiful.

Hey there, Spive- Do you think you could upload this for me please? They are opening for a band I'm seeing in a few weeks and I'd like to become somewhat familiar with them...

probably hated even b4 release but the leak makes me think of montreal's skeletal lamping is the ziggy stardust of neu disco. makes me want to be gay and beat people up at the same time. just like ziggy always has.
