Holy cow, that's a band I had completely forgotten about. I caught them at a TINY stage at Lolla in 2012. Loved them! Glad to see they're still a thing!
If you aren't careful, you're going to turn me into a Mt. Joy fanatic.
(Also, that video is fun).
They're great! They are fun live too if you are into going to showsIf you aren't careful, you're going to turn me into a Mt. Joy fanatic.

Just saw him in Wichita. One of the coolest experiences and shows. The dude sounds just as good live.
They are quickly moving up my bucket list of bands to see live.
Lately it's been lots and lots of early punk. Bad Brains, Fugazi, Circle Jerks, Descendents, GG Allin, X, including MC5 because they were REALLY early punk.
As if I couldn't like you anymore, you go and post a list like this.....................
I know it's weird, but it is great music to listen to when I'm trying to get some work done quickly! Or exercising, it pushes you to keep up!
Caught this band opening for Built to Spill last night at Codfish Hollow.
They have fantastic harmonizing. Would absolutely catch them again.
Also, Codfish Hollow is an amazing venue.

It's more personal than anything he's ever done before. He still shares his life view, but we get more of who he is as a person, his origin story. It's interesting from a guy who tends to be really guarded.
"Count Me Out" is probably the catchiest. There's part of me that doesn't want to like "We Cry Together" as preachy, but it strikes me each time I listen to it. It reminds me of Eminem's "Kim" and him and Rihanna in "Love the Way You Lie," but I think it does it a little more bluntly? Which is probably necessary to ugly up volatile relationships and see them for what they are.
In contrast, though - "Auntie Diaries" sort of tries to do what Jay-Z did with "Smile." But Jay's was about his mom and was more touching, so I feel like that one could have been excluded, if that makes sense. Although it is good to be a contrite example.
The one song that I keep listening to in order to try and make out the denouement is "Mother I Sober." Obviously it's gutting and soul-baring to him, and his fiance (I thinks he's still his fiance?) talk about how he came through and is better - but I guess I don't really understand how the story ends, how he lifted the generational curse. By not accusing his cousin? Or not raping a female family member? I don't entirely understand - when it's included with his confession about sex addiction, I think that's part of why I find it so confusing, because he DID use sex to hurt someone and himself. I feel a little bit like a failure for not fully getting that one - and am assuming it's because I do not have the cultural background he does where this is generational, so maybe I'm not meant to understand.
Stumbled on the "Backseat Lovers" and they are really good.
