My Mountain Goats love is well known and they are probably the band that I promote the most to my friends and randoms in the street. The Mountain Goats are my 24hr a day band, a song for every mood.
I was reading Aquarium Drunkard the other day and saw this post - Under the Covers - Babylon Burning, my heart started to thump faster as I read the post and then when I clicked on the links and listened to the music, I had chills running down my back like I have never had before from a song and it was not just from the title track but the other 3 songs from the session as well. Talk about raw JD!
These four songs were recorded in a Daytrotter session at SWSX and the description of the session just makes me smile.
He performed most of the set sitting cross-legged on the cement floor of the Big Orange studio. Daytrotter
It is very well worth heading over to Daytrotter to read JD’s track notes as well as get/listen to the other three songs and to look at the super cute artwork of JD
Here is Babylon Burning, originally by Peter Tosh(he died on my 2nd birthday). I have had this song running through my head non-stop for the last 24hrs.
Note - this is an automated posting. Helen is out bush until July 2ish.
Hey, can anyone find a copy of the Babylon Burning cover? Daytrotter has maxed out on downloads. Thanks!
