Great big you, and little old me.



Seriously, fix the fracking remember me checkbox. I like to be remembered long after I'm gone.

I've been pimping the mountain goats to anyone who will listen, they're my new favorites. Here's a bootleg of my favorite song by them, "lion's teeth". I wish the quality was better, but alas, its not. Anyway, its still a damn good jam, and 3:15 well spent. Heck, if you multitask it while reading this blog, you won't even have to waste an extra 3 minutes, it will be the same 3 minutes that you've already wasted.

Anyway, you can draw your own conclusions about the meaning of this song. I think its pretty clear what he's talking about. He gets his message off pretty well using a parable about a fight between someone who is obviously pretty small(probably a small boy), and a lion(seemingly a father figure of some sort). In the beginning, its an "opportunity" to tackle the lion, and by the end he realizes that he has to learn to coexist with the lion. He might not have won, but he fought the lion, and I think that's the point. We all have lions that we have to tackle, and even if we can blindside them and catch em by the tooth while they're sleeping, we still have to live with them in the end so its probably better to learn to coexists with your lions rather than trying to get rid of them.

That's just my take on it, your milage may differ.
