14/ The Last Day of Jimi Hendrix Life
All I can say is this one made me feel things. Let’s just say, sometimes you imagine the details of someone’s last moments and sometimes you witness them yourself.

12/ Song for Cleomenes
Been under the weather and am now catching up on day 12.

7/ Pure Milk
Another Casio track today!

6/ The Cow Song
I think this is the most straight forward song I’ve ever heard from john. I think 5 years later and the title would have probably been like “The army if California rises” or something.

5/ Going to Alaska
The first “going to” song in the book, which I would say is one of my favorite genres.

4/ One Winter At Alpha Primitive
Only four days in and I’m feeling like a slouch of a mountain goats fan. Either that or this book is going to be like the Silmarillion; giving me more lore than I ever knew I needed.

3/ Wild Palm City
I had never paid much mind to this one before. Another liminal text sitting somewhere between song and poem. John estimates this as good as any song to be a starting place for the Mountain Goats.

2/ Running Away With What Freud Said
Another new one for me, one from waaaaay back in the catalog.

1/ Alphabetizing
I don’t only listen to The Mountain Goats. But, if I had to, that would be ok. John is such a prolific artist, and I am such a creature of habit, that I still have things to discover in his songbook. ‘Alphabetizing’ was one of them.
