Hope you’re feeling sharp this morning, and if not, it’s time to adjust your focus, cause we’re getting into knives! The Mountain Goats are about as close as Jalopnik can come to having an official band, what with former bassist Peter Hughes writing a few posts for us and Brad and I obsessively listening to every song for any hint of a car mention.
This song I always describe as being a yacht rock anthem to revenge—a dish traditionally best served cold, though the vaguely island rhythms will keep you warm for hot-blooded for any action taking you might have today. It’s also a good reminder to keep yourself open to new experiences and new modes of being. Plus, knives!
