He really is an incredibly sweet, genuinely kind person. He went through major hell as a kid/teen (abuse and drug addiction) and while I know a lot of people aren't able to break out of the cycle, he managed. It took work and therapy, but goddamn, he really turned into a delightful person (and an F'in amazing artist as well).
Was happy to see John's take on the new Panic stuff...I definitely think it's the weakest record of the new "just Brendon" era by a significant margin, and that line in High Hopes also bothered me.
Now he's much better and more experienced than the previous guy who couldn't articulate much about the actual music. I'm getting married in a few weeks, so missed the boat on him doing Head Like A Hole at mine :P
but like-can anyone think of a major 7 in Street Fighter Mas? unless he means the second chord in the progression, but that doesn't seem super clear. the melody doesn't hit the 7 of the chord, and when things get quiet enough to hear the pianist playing it it's more of a lydian voicing
As someone who was a HUGE NIN fan for a really long time (and still likes some of their stuff)... I gotta agree with you. It sounds terrible. NIN has become majorly hit or miss over the years (to me at least) and when they miss, god, they miss HARD.
His following isnt huge but we're a very devoted following. The man knows a lot about music and can appreciate it, he makes a good subject for this kind of show
he was way more generous with high hopes than i would’ve been lmao
racist lyrics aside, that MIDI trumpet sound is a crime against god
especially after saying florence and the machine's hunger was trying too hard to sound inspirational
Having him do "Head Like a Hole" at any wedding I ever have in the future is now on my bucket list!
This was also my main takeaway from this video. :D
John Darnielle knows so much about music and history, literature, etc. That's why is his such an amazing songwriter.
What a genuinely delightful person
He has a great personality. If you haven't listened to any Mountain Goats albums, I recommend starting with The Sunset Tree.

MAYO PETE DESTROYED BY FACTS, LOGIC, AND REASON
lol
Please never stop making these
He is really a gem, he also makes what is in my mind the best music out there.

FishHookFPC I’d take offence to someone trying to sound like imagine dragons first
What a coincidence that "High Hopes" would become the theme song for someone who enabled a white coup within their police department.
How did he enabled the coup? Genuine question I had no idea if that
It's funny that John liked Essential Three by Soulwax because it's the exact chord progression of his '95 song "No I Can't"
John, you should know we would absolutely love to hear you do Head Like a Hole. Don't tease, let's do this!
Now I wanna hear the Mountain Goats cover Head Like a Hole. That would be godly.
I will get married just to hear his Head Like a Hole.
Seems legit
love how he called out brendon urie for having racist lyrics !!!
Can we still look forward to that Mountain Goats Death Grips collab or is that not gonna happen?
Saying "The Mountain Goat's John Darnielle" is basically saying "John Darnielle" twice
John Darnielle would disagree
why would you do my man, Matt Douglas like that?
I mean let's forget about Peter Hughes, or Jon Wurster, or Matty Bones
Joining the chorus of requests for a TMG cover of Head Like a Hole
WHERE ARE MY MANS SHOES?
Shaun Lambert II I believe he has spoken about his hatred of shoes, but don’t quote me on that.
Now I want John Darnielle to put out a Head Like A Hole video.
oh god i want a john head like a hole cover
Mm Kamasi was my first concert
These are so good! Please continue posting them!
"refusing to trade on past glories" while reviewing a panic! song. poetry
Eric Burdon was the leader of War and he gets some pretty mad respect.
Well now I need a cover of head like a hole
Now he's much better and more experienced than the previous guy who couldn't articulate much about the actual music. I'm getting married in a few weeks, so missed the boat on him doing Head Like A Hole at mine :P
Indie's Dad
I have the same beyer tech dt770s the sound is amazing for music other than rap.
Who does he say Kamasi Washington reminds him of???????
War
"Major 7s are where I live." Can anyone think of a Mountain Goats song with a Major 7? For the life of me I can't think of one.
Newer stuff
but like-can anyone think of a major 7 in Street Fighter Mas? unless he means the second chord in the progression, but that doesn't seem super clear. the melody doesn't hit the 7 of the chord, and when things get quiet enough to hear the pianist playing it it's more of a lydian voicing
Sicilian crest and dinu lipati's bones come to mind
paid in cocaine off of goths and mole off of we shall all be healed (these are off the top of my head based off of a lil bit of listening)
this is such a perfectly valid video to make oh my gosh. Of COURSE I want to know what he thinks of music! MOAR MOAR MOAR
I love war
even a genius like him misses a button on his shirt sometimes, unless he did it on purpose for genius reasons.
How to tag mr john green in this vid ? 😂
Likes "High Hopes". Hates The Kinks. SMH..
missed a button. love you tho
who is this guy and why didnt he put socks on to hide those blinding white bread hobbit feet
only good thing from vice
i wish he wore shoes
I don't
💐
That NIN track sounded awful
As someone who was a HUGE NIN fan for a really long time (and still likes some of their stuff)... I gotta agree with you. It sounds terrible. NIN has become majorly hit or miss over the years (to me at least) and when they miss, god, they miss HARD.
I wish I were as relevant as this guy. Then I'd be able to afford an I Phone 4 with all the cash I rake in.
Free Thinka who tf wants an iPhone 4 nowadays? Not joking serious!
Woosh...
next level troll? i doubt it. ha.
His following isnt huge but we're a very devoted following. The man knows a lot about music and can appreciate it, he makes a good subject for this kind of show
He's more relevant than you will ever hope to be man.
Firs
1st
First
this is very important to you, saying 'first' first?
4chan sent me Cx
I love the mountain goats and john, but I don't care about his opinions on everything
I renig my statement, this is the shit
Bro put on some shoes 👎
matty I guess you have a guy foot fetish
...obviously the only other explanation: a fetish! ...
Pretty disappointing.
