It's hard to find a good video of this Mountain Goats tune on these here Internets. I've been a Mountain Goats fan for a long time, but kind of fell out of touch with what John Darnielle was doing. Darnielle is probably one of the best lyricists currently writing songs. They're wonderful microcosms, moving stories, evocative poetry. This tune "The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton," is a true pearl of great price. It so moved me that it inspired me to write a short story of my own using the themes Darnielle puts so succinctly in this song. If there were any justice in the world, The Mountain Goats would be on every top 10 list. But, sad to say, the world isn't just.
