PICK OF THE WEEK: The Mountain Goats Code
Mountain Goats secret show this Saturday. Here are some clues to the show’s location from mountain-goats.com:
- The room in which it’s taking place is very small
- It’s in southern California in a place that’s kinda crucial to John Darnielle’s personal history
- Head inland from the ocean
This rules out the Coliseum, Oki-Dog and the Pacific Ocean, but the Travelodge on Holt Boulevard between Gary and White remains a possibility. John goes on to warn, “if you figure it out and go blabbin’ about it to everybody the show probably won’t be able to happen so be discreet please i.e. keep your sleuthing private and your humble host who sees in secret will surely reward you, see you there.” Do it Rockapella!

[...] Well, probably my ultimate favorite was the Slayer Dumpster. I also enjoyed the Mountain Goats Secret Show Torture. And the Assholes Behind Jerry’s Deli was funny. I think most readers, though, would consider the Huell Howser drinking game the best. Mr. T Doll appearances are always great, and I liked the NYC/LA Comparative(ly Foolish) Study. Jeff [...]
