I just saw this for the first time now, and so like all of the other lame people in the world with blogs, here we are.
Best Mountain Goats video to date. Except for maybe the one where Darnielle cameos in that Aesop Rock song, which of course isn’t a Mountain Goats video but hey, this isn’t an international darts competition or whatever. Anytime Darnielle plays a zombie my eyes open a little wider and I pay a little more attention. But I do that whenever Darnielle does anything.
And okay, I know what you’re thinking. You’re right, maybe the visual-display-of-the-lyrics-presented-creatively-as-they-are-sung is a tired music video technique. I guess it probably is. Oh well. It doesn’t remove Darnielle’s admiral’s suit of awesomeness.
