"He sings it as if he expects to be drown by strangers at the end of it."

I think it's the "...by strangers..." that makes that phrase really awesome.

John Darnielle, how do I love you?

I have managed to see, I think, every Mountain Goats show in NYC in the last 2 years. Looking forward to many more years of it, as well.

Agreed.

I was watching this thinking how can he be so fucking articulate and witty off the top of his head? The dude rules.

I think that every time I see him live. Seriously, downloading live Mountain Goats shows is worth it just for the monologues between the songs.

Anyway, this video was obviously edited (fairly seemlessly), so that makes it work out even better than if it was completely impromptu.

John Darnielle is something of a hero of mine, incidentally.

Agreed. He gives great banter.

I love him, too.
