the Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride

I don't know if this is the proper venue, given that this is nothing to do with the IDMs, but I figure there's gotta be some fans around here. Actually he might be the opposite of electronic music, thanks to the fact that his first like 6 albums were just him recording himself and his guitar on a panasonic tape-deck. Like the more recent albums, though, this is another one recorded in the studio with Peter Hughes on Bass, John Wurster from Superchunk on drums, and numerous other guests (including Erik Friedlander on cello). It's also veered away from his autobiographical stuff (which I didn't like) and goes back to his more bitter little made-up stories.

The 1st video is out, and its the first music video I've enjoyed watching in a while. Check it out here:
