I’m new to your newsletter and I’m in love with your incredible work.
Some of my favorite things in life came to me via serendipitously tuning into something while my mind was otherwise rambling. I discovered The Mountain Goats many years ago when Darnielle was on NPR talking about his book. I mentally tuned in to hear him talk about working with teens with mental health issues.
I found this newsletter mindlessly scrolling social media last week when Darnielle linked to a previous post.
Your imaginative prose is an excellent match for The Mountain Goats’ oeuvre. I was captivated by your series of biographical images at the end. Since your taking a month off, I now have time to dig into your archives and catch up. But my soul will be anxiously awaiting your triumphant return through the album catalog.
Hi Jason, thanks so much - this is very kind of you! I think the main gamble of the project is whether any of the biographical stuff on my end is worth discussing alongside what I imagine people are *mostly* interested in, so I'm delighted that it's working for you. Hope you enjoy the others!
