john darnielle on boz scaggs, "gospel!" etc.



following tc/chris's mention of boz scaggs-- and being that aaron's alan parsons post got me thinking about music my dad played in the minivan on the way to the poconos-- i thought i'd share this video of john darnielle (mountain goats) talking about some records he loves, including one by boz scaggs (he gets to it a few minutes in).

i know some of you hate darnielle's music, but even if you do, i highly recommend his blog:

his taste in music is way different than you'd guess. he's really into death metal and rap and stuff. and occasionally he writes really beautifully, often about unexpected things.

if nothing else, as you watch the video, you can think about how he kinda looks like marissa's brother michael a little. or, if you're me, you can think about how he has the same hairdo i was sporting circa 1991.

watching this video is like watching my tenth grade physics teacher mr. desko give a lecture dressed as 90's dan schank. it's not just the hair, its the shirt and glasses, too. what makes it even more strange is that i saw the mountain goats in san diego, and this guy had short dark blonde hair which was nothing like this. i'll have to listen to that justin broderick project. didn't even kow it existed.
