Mountain Goats

Am I the only person who doesn't like John Darnielle? I do like some of his songs, but on the whole I find him a bit creepy. Anyway, this was a good gig, a special night for fans. I love the view from the back of this room, and the layout. It's tiny - it's like the Barfly but smaller, better and less crammed. He played a lot of new material but took some requests and chatted with the crowd during and after the gig. I wish I could summon up more enthusiasm but he's not for me.
