Going to Gambier

I'm kind of excited about these shows. As much as I love recent Mountain Goats tours, nothing beats the solo shows.

From John:

We're going to stand alone onstage and play our guitars and sing old songs & new, and then we'll probably play together. We are going to sit side by side with our acoustic guitars like two out of the five guys on the Five Man Acoustical Jam album, only with fewer Tesla songs. Because the whole point of playing an acoustic guitar is not to unplug. It's to get raw and draw blood.

Although this isn't a music blog (I'll leave that to the professionals), it is named after a tMG song, which I'll probably write more about later. I won't be going to Gambier, but I will be attending the NYC show, part of the Wordless Music Series.
