i figure it might be fun to start writing about my comp making process, so join me as i put together

10 YEARS OF THE BONE ZONE: THE BEST OF MATT DOUGLAS VOLUME 2

(this is gonna be my sistine chapel)
Text reads: 10 YEARS IN THE BONE ZONE: THE BEST OF MATT DOUGLAS VOL 2 In the letters "B" "N" "E" are pictures of matt douglas playing saxophone, keys, and electric guitar. in the letter "O" is a picture of matt clasping his hands together at his waist and living a bashful look to the camera. there is dramatic, blue colored bolts of electricity running through the word "ZONE".

finishing up with Detroit! get utterly decimated by a trio arrangement of Shadow Song and then close out with a cover of Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground. totally unique solo sets each night. the boys are on fire and will not stop until we are all turned to ash.

The ceaseless transition between EIGHT MINUTE MOON OVER GOLDSBORO and New Zion, though.

Next in Peoria. The best part of the new trio formation for me has been watching Matt and Jon lock eyes, lock in, and go off. Real sickos yes stuff. Wurster dominates in this tape. If you feel like boppin' and groovin, get in on Great Pirates

Small bar. Getting blasted by every snare hit. JD threw his sweat towel. $4 beers. Like stepping through time, in all regards besides the ever beautiful jams. The changeups on New Zion absolutely sent me.

NEXT is the tape from Cleveland. New killer arrangements of Sax Rohmer #1, The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton, New Britain, Going to Botaga, and Werewolf Gimmick. it is so crucial for me that you all know that Matt was dual and triple wielding instruments this tour

volume 1, THIS SONG IS OLD ENOUGH TO RENT A CAR, is all songs that are at least 21 years old. THIS SONG IS OLD ENOUGH, TOO is a compilation of performances of songs by the Mountain Goats that are old enough. they're also mostly 21 years old. there's one that isn’t, but i don't care. leave me alone.

hello! mountain goats show! chicago! at the salt shed! today!!! only show I’m catching on this tour so if you’ll be there, say hi, ask for a button, I’m an early line goblin so you’ll prolly be able to find me
An illustration based on lyrics from the mountain goats song Steal Smoked Fish. A rat curls its tail to form a circle as it bites into a tin of smoked oysters, the tin lid rolled back and the oysters falling out. The lyric “god bless all petty thieves” is written next to the rat. A photo of the previously described design as pinback buttons.
