btc has great high points (heel turn 2 obviously all-time, animal mask, luna, CHOKED OUT, werewolf gimmick) but i admit it's not a record i revisit in full much. goths/dragons/bleed out my Big 3 from the Merge era.

less "gesture" at the themes here from retired mtn goats bassist Peter Hughes, and more yelling/pointing, but @dfelsenthal.bsky.social you might enjoy this: peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/half-s...

was so delighted that you, of all people, could speak for the front row faithful. wonderful work

The site also can't get any content updates until I can afford to drive out & retrieve my archives from storage (your donations can keep the cubesmart rent current). Any help is greatly appreciated. Claremont Cometh has always been a passion project, and I hope to lose money on it for years to come.

everybody get more Website right now

his stuff is super different on the records, but for the tour we saw, he brought along Cole Pulice (woodwinds) and Taylor Vick (keyboards, harmony vox) and these arrangements are sooooooooo beautiful, this is the same lineup with one extra guy in there archive.org/details/10-o...

this is the huge brain take. we need the peter hughes + ben loughran + matt douglas project. also idk if you were in a position to see the tmg tour w/ stephen steinbrink & co opening but like. if i'm already asking for the moon here, i want cole pulice in there too

that's true. okay. matt douglas haters come to pont de rennes pedestrian bridge in rochester ny for reconciliation activities. it's bungee jumping except there will be no cords and no supervision and i'm pushing you

peter and matt gotta sneak off and make their own record let's manifest

peter and i disavow all matt douglas haters. if you hate matt douglas don't even listen to half-staff blues
