Tonight I will see The Mountain Goats perform at In The Venue. I bought my ticket in August and today's date, the concert, seems like sort of a mark of how unsettlingly fast the time between then and now has gone. Whenever time passes quickly before an event I've been looking forward to, I always feel slightly alarmed at the thought that the event itself will be gone just as fast. There's always the hope that I'll be able to press pause during a momentous occasion and savor it and truly enjoy it, and then I find that I've blinked and it's over.
TMG has released an EP for this tour, Satanic Messiah. You can buy it (and pay whatever you want for it) here. Mildly off-kilter piano is threaded throughout most of the EP, and the whole thing is well-suited to the beginning of autumn. When I close my eyes and listen, I can see leaves turning colors and falling.
