I may write more about The Mountain Goats someday, about their significance to me and to others I care about. But for now, here is a song that has called to me recently:

“The Mountain Goats performing “Dance Music” live at Lee’s Palace in Toronto, 09/25/07″:

Lean in close to my little record player on the floor
So this is what the volume knob’s for
I listen to dance music
