My most basic goal in life is to be able to find someone to drive at night with, listening to music like this. Imagining driving along the east-west interstates so that once we hit the end of the road, after a while, we can turn around and do it again. There’s a lot to see and hear in the world, it’s unfortunate how difficult it can be to find someone to share it all with.

So, I’m going to tell you a sad little story about me as a kid. Don’t get too sad, though, it has a happy ending, I love literally everything about my life and I have this probably-dumb-but-what-the-hell mystical sense that if even one small detail of my life had been changed, then everything would be different now, and who’s to say that the things most dear to me wouldn’t have to be traded away in the bargain? I call this conviction “The JD Doesn’t Really ‘Get’ Physics Effect,” though if I were in an instrumental prog-metal band, I might instead call it the Phalse Phenomenology Ephect. Then everybody would cry, except for me, because I would be too busy in the Locrian mode laying down the sickest two-part solos you’re ever gonna hear in this town, bud.

we lean back and we clink our glasses
raise the drinks to our thirsty mouths,
and thick as molasses, ice cold vodka eases in as
the low pressure system brings the breezes in
they sashay and pirouette above you
the only thing i know is that i love you
and I’m holding on

Ten years after The Mountain Goat’s “Tallahassee,” Zach Baron returned to Florida with singer-songwriter John Darnielle to search for remnants of the album’s mythic inspiration. What he found is a lesson on people who make things, people who enjoy them, and the space between the two.
