PICK OF THE WEEK: The Mountain Goats Code

mountain goats john darnielle 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!

Thanks Ron! Any word yet on the mystery special guest at Spaceland on December 10th? Tickets go on sale Wednesday and I’m guessing it’s a band from a certain big rock station so that’s why it’s on the hush tip. Thanks for the tip on the Sounds show!

Heads up for anyone confused – The Watson Twins show at the Getty was cancelled and moved to February 2, 2007.
Posted by Ron 11/27/06 at 2:08 pm #

Oscar–we’ll probably know by Tuesday night. I’m out of town so if anyone figures it out please post it here.

J–thanks for the info. The new date is on the list.
Posted by Oscar 11/27/06 at 3:58 pm #

Word up my friend. I’ll get Scooby and the gang on it and see if I can get it up here before Wednesday. Thanks!
Posted by Jenn 11/27/06 at 6:10 pm #

Just got word, the “Gimme Shelter Benefit” by KCRW no longer has Cold War Kids on their lineup (Starsailor is the replacement) as they received notification last week that the band couldn’t make it for this show.
Posted by Ron 11/27/06 at 6:15 pm #

Thanks Jenn!
Posted by Andrew 11/27/06 at 6:24 pm #

Aaaah! I NEED to know where this Mountain Goats show is!!!
Posted by Ron 11/27/06 at 6:47 pm #

The truth is out there, Andrew. Follow the clues.
Posted by nickn 11/27/06 at 11:08 pm #

Garden Grove! Claremont! Am I close?
Posted by Mimi 11/27/06 at 11:10 pm #

actually, Jenny Lewis at the Jimmy Kimmel show has been changed from Weds to Thurs night instead.
Posted by Ron 11/27/06 at 11:49 pm #

Thanks Mimi–great tips all around this week.
Posted by Jenn 11/28/06 at 2:59 pm #

So far Bloodcat Love’s been listed on Spaceland’s 12/10 line-up.
Posted by Ron 11/28/06 at 3:00 pm #

JET… hmm… pass.
Posted by Ryan 11/28/06 at 3:14 pm #

come on. you love that song. i heard you humming it in the downstairs conference room the other day. Hey! Roll over DJ! Le blah blah blah, la blah-diddl-dee…
Posted by Oscar 11/28/06 at 3:18 pm #

Yeah, I just got the e-mail about Jet being the band. Oh well. All that “surprise” band thing for Jet.
Posted by Jenn 11/28/06 at 3:42 pm #

Lily Allen’s doing Jimmy Kimmel on the 5th, so there’s hope in her doing some shows (in addition to Wreck The Halls) around that time as well.
Posted by V. 11/28/06 at 4:25 pm #

Hey, I LOVE JET! That was me you heard. In the 3rd floor small kitchen making my tea.

I wouldn’t call it humming, but air guitaring with added mouth noises. It’s more like BWRAWNT RAWNT RAWNT CHIKKA BRWRAWNT RAWNT RAWNT.

And have LaVerne order me some more green tea. TAZO this time, not that STASH shit.
Posted by Frank L. 11/28/06 at 4:29 pm #

Why listen to Jet when you could listen to Iggy Pop. Jet rips off so many bands! AHhhhhh
Posted by Andrew 11/28/06 at 6:06 pm #

:( After an hour of scouring google these clues tell me nothing! If anyone wants to be a good person could you email me the location of the mountain goats show?? [email protected]
Posted by Ron 11/28/06 at 9:50 pm #

Thanks again, Jenn. Andrew, are you even trying?
Posted by Andrew 11/29/06 at 12:39 am #

:’(
Posted by Jeanne 11/29/06 at 10:38 am #

Don’t feel bad, Andrew. I’ve been scouring the net for days. AND calling places, but I still can’t figure out where the Mountain Goats show is for sure. So if anyone would be a dear and possibly help me out a little on the location? My email is [email protected]

I’ll give you a cookie, and my eternal gratitude.
Posted by Andrew 11/29/06 at 1:03 pm #

Yeah ive called all of the places in the socal area that he played when he first started and most aren’t even there anymore!
Posted by Cate 11/29/06 at 3:00 pm #

I’d love the Mountain Goats info too if anyone is sharing…

Black watch pub Claremont
Posted by Jeanne 11/29/06 at 3:42 pm #

I’ve already checked the Black Watch. They said some band named DCR Willie is playing Saturday night.
Posted by Andrew 11/29/06 at 5:22 pm #

So I guess it’s safe to assume that it’s 21+ eh?…. :(
Posted by Craig 11/29/06 at 11:26 pm #

I’d look here for humble beginnings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mountain_Goats

and listen to “This Year” for a hint about the area…

Oh, and because of it’s location, I’m assuming it can’t possibly be 21+, wouldn’t be logical.
Posted by Tina 11/30/06 at 2:04 pm #

what day is the Mountain Gotas show?
Posted by Ron 11/30/06 at 3:38 pm #

Nice clues, Craig.

Andrew–you got it now?

Tina–scroll up.
Posted by Andrew 11/30/06 at 6:30 pm #

I think I got it! Buuuut when I called they said there will be jazz tonight reggae tomorrow and punk on saturday… I’d be making a 2 hr trek to get there so I don’t know if I should take the chance…. or should i…?
Posted by Craig 11/30/06 at 6:40 pm #

well, depends on if the place you’re thinking is the right place. there is music the next few nights, or so i think i’ve heard about…
Posted by Ryan 11/30/06 at 7:13 pm #

It’s at the Days Inn Riverside, isn’t it.
Posted by Jeff 11/30/06 at 7:47 pm #

Stephen Malkmus tix went on sale today for the Sat., Jan. 6th El Rey show. That is, of course, only if you have one of those black Amex cards.

Reguluh Internet presale this saturday at 10am pst.
Posted by Mari 11/30/06 at 11:13 pm #

I’ve been searching all over and these clues have been quite helpful. Now Andrew, I know where you have in mind, but it just doesn’t seem like it would fit the bill. I just am not too familiar with the place where I think it probably is. Anyone have any more clues for me?
Posted by Jenn 12/1/06 at 1:14 pm #

Are there any Franz Ferdinand fans here? Heads up: Nicholas McCarthy’s God Bearing Sisters will be performing at the Lightbox Gallery tomorrow, if the live music/art-combo at Matt Maust isn’t enough for you (although they’re both going on at the same time, I think; no time listed for CWK).
Posted by HANK 12/1/06 at 3:43 pm #

re: secret show location

did you check in your butt
Posted by Oscar 12/1/06 at 4:13 pm #

Would the venue be on Santa Monica Blvd since you’re “starting from the ocean”? Just a thought.
Posted by Mari 12/1/06 at 4:15 pm #

santa monica blvd doesn’t travel as far as the inland empire
i definitely have the city, general area narrowed down..it’s just between a few places now
Posted by Frank L. 12/1/06 at 4:48 pm #

Try Lake Alice, Back to the Grind, OR Riverside Brewing Company, all in the city of Riverside
Posted by Craig 12/1/06 at 4:55 pm #

Cold, colder, coldest.

You’ve got a lot of “learning” to do… maybe you should look for a place to learn…
Posted by Jay 12/1/06 at 4:59 pm #

I’ve heard they’ve played under fake names before, like a show at the Knitting Factory where they were listed as the Hospital Bombers til the last minute. I did a search on the band playing Black Watch Pub, and the first thing that came up referenced North Carolina’s governor. John lives in North Carolina. And I can’t find anything else that says DCR Willy even exists as a band.
Posted by Mari 12/1/06 at 5:00 pm #

I think I got it, and well if I’m wrong then that’s that.
Posted by Craig 12/1/06 at 5:18 pm #

It’s under the same name as always.
Posted by anti-craig 12/1/06 at 7:27 pm #

man you are full of it.
Posted by Craig 12/1/06 at 9:16 pm #

Oh how I wish I were. If only the posters that I’ve seen up around here didn’t say “The Mountain Goats”
Posted by anti-craig 12/1/06 at 9:27 pm #

up around where?
Posted by anti-craig 12/1/06 at 9:28 pm #

ps also why would you wish that you were full of it man that doesn’t make sense and stands as further proof that you are full of it.
Posted by anti-craig 12/1/06 at 9:32 pm #

full to the dang old gills.
