The Things You Do For Love Are Gonna Come Back One By One

I promised to be more prolific, and here it is, a second blog post this week.  Will wonders never cease.  Today, I'm kind of copping out, while sharing some excellent music with the collected masses. 
Archive.org has long been one of our favorite sites, as it houses a collection of over 90,000 live recordings by thousands of artists (all of whom have given their blessing on recording their shows).  In the Cuddle's recent search for everything Mountain Goats related, we stumbled upon a huge treasure trove of shows by John Darnielle's collective at the site.  Below, you'll find one of our favorites, a wonderful sounding show from December, 2009 recorded at Webster Hall in New York City.  The version of "Love Love Love" is absolutely devastating.  There's just something about Darnielle's lyrics about human interaction that is so pure and simple and bare.  The show gives a great overview of the Mountain Goats' career, but sadly, doesn't include any of the excellent songs from All Eternal's Deck.  The player is a little wonky, as it doesn't include the set list as you listen, but the entire set list, along with directions on how to download the show for your very own are found HERE.  Enjoy none-the-less:



Until next time, browse around on Archive.org, find some great new music, and listen...
