Title: The Mountain Goats Post by: Don_Zabu on March 28, 2010, 06:54:45 PM Three cheers for the greatest simile anyone has ever written:
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell Like the searchlights in the parking lots of Hell Title: Re: The Mountain Goats Post by: the captain on March 30, 2010, 08:47:44 PM Which one? I count two similes there.

My point is that John Darnielle is a lyrical visionary. Title: Re: The Mountain Goats Post by: the captain on March 31, 2010, 07:39:23 PM No argument there. And he looks like he really, really likes to sing and play. And he can speak and write in complete sentences. These things count for a lot with me.

He's good...better than anything I could do...but he's no VDP.
