I like J.D. a lot as a dude, so I wish I liked his music more. There are certainly a few songs that I dig, but in general it's just not really my kind of thing.

She is not really into that kind of music and I have yet to introduce her to the Sunset Tree ("Hey honey, I noticed that you have forty-five minutes of downtime in your incredibly busy day. How'd you like to listen to an indie-rock album about CHILD ABUSE?") : ) See also my trepidation about introducing her to say, Tallahassee or WSABH, etc. etc.
We do have a few tMGs songs on a playlist of lullabies for my daughter to fall asleep to on car rides though.

Ouch. I kinda wanted to share this on my facebook wall but I can't because an in-law has gone on a benzodiazepine-induced tear this week that has strained both holiday spirits and family relations about as far as they can get and I think if any of the parties in involved were confronted by Mr. Darnielle's severe countenance and grim parentheticals emanating from their computer screen, someone would burn someone's house down.

This is probably the time nor place for this, but Onion commenters run a close second or third to youtube and redstate commenters in the moron decathalon.

Commenting on websites is a pretty solid indicator in general.

Never heard any mg since ZM but someone posted "This Year" on fb and I played it and played it again and then sent it to some people and played it again, and then the rest of the album, and MAN the wonderfulness has a hold on me now and it won't stop.

lost the bet w/ myself that he would do the "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow" version of HYaMLC.

the life of the world to come is a horrifying and perfect album. I like a lot of mtn goats records but that one really hits me. it came out while my wife and her father both went through chemo at the same time (he died, she lived) and really resonated. I still haven't listened to the new(ish) album maybe as a result; life was kind of devastating.
