Kickstarter - Tallahassee Turns Ten

Have some friends working on this great project and can’t wait to hear how it turns out, if you’re a Mountain Goats fan definitely give it a look. The always fantastic Perry Owen Wright is contributing to it as well, bonus.

“On November 5th, 2002 The Mountain Goats released their album Tallahassee on 4AD. Now, ten years later, artists and songwriters in all genres consider it a landmark album. To celebrate Tallahassee’s tenth birthday, we are pulling together fourteen different artists to cover the fourteen tracks on the album, creating Tallahassee Turns Ten: A Mountain Goats Cover Album.”

Wow, just finished listening to the stream of the full album. Looking forward to the release even more now. Franklin Bruno’s flourishes are a very nice addition to John Darnielle’s already incredible song writing abilities.

rcjohnso: I rarely promote anything on this space, but this is something I’ve very proud to have been a part of.  The Mountain Goats, a band I am hugely fond of, are about to release a new album called “The Life Of The World To Come.” It’s a beautiful album.  Awhile back, they (and by ‘they’ I mean John Darnielle) got in touch with me about filming a few songs being performed live.  This is what we ended up doing:  we rented a hall in Pomona College, the very first space John ever performed in (as a child doing a piano recital) and I shot him performing the entire album straight through, in one continuous shot.  It captures in some way (I hope) what’s so special about seeing John perform live. A full length version of the video will be made available very soon online (the label is working out the hows of it now) but in the meanwhile if you’re in NYC, come on down to a screening we’re doing on the 4th.  John and I will be there for a q&a. I cannot wait for this to go online.
