I am so pleased this man exists. "You can't really denounce that in which you do not engage." He tossed that off in the middle...just talking. One of my heroes.
“Let’s wake up and worship the great gold sheep”
He is looking more and more like a wizard with that beard.
*hottie
Rachel Grubbs wizards can be hot.... just saying
Will he then buy a hat?
I was thinking he was going full John the Baptist.
He's really radiating mountain goat energy which just fits the name and it's just... this is John's true form.
alternate video title: John and a Sailor Moon Puzzle Unbox Merch for 8 Glorious, Wholesome Minutes
John cutting off his own ramblings with “Hi, we’re the Mountain Goats” will always be peak comedy to me.
So many quotable moments here:
"'How then must we live?'...'Well you know what you gotta do, is you're gonna wanna serve your tea hot.'"
"It's like praying on beads...once you get fully into the world of the puzzle, the rest of the world-Hi we're the Mountain Goats."
"You can't really denounce that which you don't really engage. If you listen to something once and say 'I only needed to listen to it once to know how I feel about it,' then you are narrow minded, and your opinion is not valuable."
"One manner is fun and cult, and the other one is not."
Words to live by. Thanks John.
(sorry to quote at you a video we both watched, I kinda just wanted to remember these for myself and accidentally used the comment box instead of a notepad.)
John Darnielle is like the guy in your small town who owns a used bookstore and lets you know about all the best old European sci fi movies
"I'm out of practice at opening small ziplocks" dark joke but funny. Proud of you for overcoming that John. Never forget how many you inspire.
That joke hit me hard.
I chortled. It's been a while (thankfully!) but yeah, I understood that feeling all to well. I still use small ziplocks for beads and whatnot... it's different, though. The days of frantically trying to get them open (and the neurological charge from just _handling_ the bags) are long gone.
"Jigsaw puzzles are like prayer beads, hi, we're The Mountain Goats." is exactly the energy I follow JD for
oh my god i need a livestream of John putting together a Sailor Moon puzzle
Would watch
Absolutely. My MIL has gotten into puzzles recently. She gets frustrated because she gets tough ones, but when my partner (her son) and I come over and help out she's all over it again. We'll be moving into an addition to her house soon and I'm looking forward to the puzzles.
Sorry, you didn't need to know all that. It's just... I've seen/heard so many people shitting on puzzles and people who enjoy them lately. I've loved them since I was little. I'm nearly 40 and damn, it feels good to see people (JD especially) actually being positive about 'em. As a fidgety person with depression, anxiety, and bigger MI issues, they're wonderful!
In this episode of John slowly becomes Guy Fawkes in quarantine: "Sailor Moon Puzzle == Rosary Beads", or, "Serve Your Tea Hot"
All hail the great gold sheep Mountain Goats pin
I can't wait to see ya'll again-- don't forget those of us still hanging on in San Francisco! We're all awake here and worshipping the great gold sheep.
all hail the great gold sheep
I really appreciate John’s slow Physical transition into Alan Watts. Rock on!
i hope john keeps up these vlogs, they really bring joy to my life
As someone who has almost no friends these videos always make me feel happy like having a very short little catchup with someone you haven't seen in a long long time
When you eventually tour this, please consider stopping by in Sheffield UK, steel city and knife epicenter.
I was hoping this would tie in to a tMG puzzle announcement. Man can dream.
What an unspeakably wholesome man
Oh man, Jon is the best. So glad i found mountain goats.
Go on as long as you want! We miss you! Can't wait until the Birmingham AL show is rescheduled.
I love how John makes references to things and gets really excited even though we have no idea what he is referencing.
"mountain goats 9:13" is my favorite bible song
The goatee is really getting on there
the other day i looked into the lyrics of one week by the barenaked ladies, and theres a line about sailor moon making him feel all kinds of ways. lmao
I am so stoked to see Picture of my Dress on this album. I am absolutely over the moon that Getting Into Knives is coming out this month, this band has helped me make it through many bad years, this one especially; having something to look forward to is a nice speck of light in very dark times.
Hair goals
I love this man.
Please continue these videos when (if) the pandemic ends!
As a knitter, all my knitting friends are going to be so jealous of that sheep pin!
i am so tired I expected to see my own reflection on that close up of the sheep.
Getting into the league of goth champs
Absolutely my favorite band now. Anime puzzle (Sailor Moon it looks like)
Why John, that anime is Sailor Moon. She is a magical girl who fights evil at night with a group of other magical young women. It's super famous for being the biggest "Girl Power" anime.
I'd love for him to get a brief introduction into some big ones like Sailor Moon and then do an EP with just a few songs of impressions. "Getting Into Anime" lol
@@SureBuddy OMG that'd be so cool!!!
as another dad of a certain age...what age range is Sailor Moon for? The kids and I are digging The Last Air Bender hard right now but I need to figure out what's next.
@@KrisHarsh It's been about 15 years since I watched, but my recollection is that it's pretty friendly toward all ages.
I'm totally surprised he isn't more into anime. Wasn't he building a gundam recently? He seems like such an anime guy. And I mean that in the NICEST way.
good lord i love this man
Never expected to hear Cabs talk here but here we are! (And 2x45 is a very fine release!)
I eondered how many of his fans know them? I was glad to hear he doesn't like them, cause neither do I
Love that 9:30 club was first one mentioned. Can't wait to see you there again john!
I literally listened to Transcendental Youth once and said I missed the old TMG. Was listening to the Jordan Lake sessions when they came out and asked "Where are all these amazing new songs coming from????" went back to TY and yeah John's right. I was narrow minded and my opinion didn't matter. >
John, where is the Getting Into Knives puzzle? WHERE IS IT? GIVE IT TO US.
It's a gift to be up / awake at 3 / I'm waiting, notebook thoughts
I love you, man.
Man I'm a chef, I just got myself a new knife wallet and decided to get some cool patches, I've literally spent my night sewing patches onto it,just finished, picked up my phone seen this video and thought "cool, I'll watch this".. Then I seen this patch, I want this patch more than I've ever wanted any other patch in my life,it works on many levels.... I want that patch, I will not rest until its on my knife wallet... Also I'm really looking foward to the new album.... But goddammit I need that patch.
They'd sell SO MANY if the patch weren't exclusive to the vinyl bundle. Argh
@@howtomeetwomen- the website says it comes with just the vinyl as well.
@@howtomeetwomen- ghsthasash
So glad you guys are putting this one out on tape. Got it pre-ordered already and I was lucky enough to get one of the last 1000 silver tapes of Songs for Pierre Chuvin which was the first tape I played on my tape deck when I bought it. First time putting a hi-fi together and right now all I can get invested in are tapes so it's good to know that the mountain goats have my back on my Journey of Tapes. Tapes tapes tapes tapes tapes!!!
John was like I'm gonna leave this anime puzzle in frame the whole time they're gonna love it and he was right I'm lovin it
these videos are a treat
We miss you too John. So, so much. It's been a tough time and some of us find such comfort in your music and the way it forgives us and always lets us know there's a path ahead, even when it's treacherous and unforgiving. The pride in being human and fallible that you instil is invaluable and sorely missed and I hope to see you in Scotland, or anywhere else really, real soon.
The pin is so cool
You’re surprising comfortable talking to a camera. I’d assume not, but I’m glad you are. I’d love a return to I Only Listen To The Mountain Goats.
omg sailor moon!!
oh, that anime franchise is Sailor Moon! it's a classic of the magical girl genre. the genre usually explores coming of age stories for young women, and also usually involves cool battle scenes and moral dilemmas. sailor moon was very popular in the 90s, and it's many people's first anime.
Sailor Moon!
Can't wait to see you either John. Thanks for these
I am so excited for this record!
Miss you too! Can't wait for my copy!
It's Sailor Moon, Mr. Darnielle.
Speaking on the subject of puzzles, I had a stint at an inpatient mental health facility a while back, and we could not have our phones, so my usual time sinks and distractions were not available to me. What I found was jigsaw puzzles. You are really are right, John: they are so powerful in the fight against depression.
The puzzles we had in there were missing pieces and had pieces from other puzzles mixed in. Like they're messing with you. :P
what a beautiful and sweet video 😅
already preordered the vinyl - plausibly getting a tattoo from it
Always appreciate an update, puzzle, and fatherly wisdom. Hope Sailor Moon and the power of magical girls works it's way somehow into a Mountain Goats track. Thanks for all you do and are John!
Aw... I've seen y'all at the 9:30 Club twice now. Alas, I just moved from DC, so now I will have to catch you in Atlanta or Athens if y'all get out here again!
'don't count puzzles out'

Watch this video get the most comments in the history of the entire channel purely from people explaining Sailor Moon.
As if we NEED an explanation. I had a Sailor Moon alarm clock for a decade...
Thanks for talking up puzzles! I've run into a lot of people lately who only have negative things to say about 'em.
My MIL lost her amazing husband last year (it was hard for all of us, but of course it's been hardest for her) and she's been alone during Covid-19 quarantines. She started doing puzzles and it's been so good. My partner (her son) and I will visit and help her out. It's a blast. We'll be moving in with her soon, and as someone who hasn't had a puzzle partner since I was a kid (my aunt loved them as much as I did), I am SO looking forward to more puzzles.
She and I both have depression and anxiety, and puzzles are so F'in perfect for the two of us.
Also- please make posters of this album available! I've already pre-ordered the album and the sheep pin. I'd be so in on a poster...
Jigsaw puzzles...as you fit each piece into its perfect place, a little piece of the world is made right
me and my family have started doing A Lot of puzzles this year as a quarantine activity. last night we finished one with a bunch of chickens on it haha
They're wonderful. I left a long comment elsewhere about my MIL getting into them. She buys difficult ones, gets frustrated, and temporarily gives up. Then when we (myself and my partner- her son) come over we are all over it. We finished a difficult one in a single visit and it was FABULOUS. We'll be moving in with her soon.
I'm looking forward to more puzzles.
That’s sailor moon.
#mergerecordandtapes 👍🥳
The 9:30 Club! DC misses you.
Suddenly desperately want a tMG puzzle
5:20.
“And you punish me with those big eyes,
And you torture me, with sirrens,
But I’m going to...”
Thank you so much for these updates, John. You are a beacon of light during these dark times.
i know this isn't really relevant but i just realized how much weight he lost. good on him
I'll see you at Meow Wolf someday
Cab Volt :O
Now I'm intrigued to check out the work of Cabaret Voltaire. Anyone got an album recommendation? JD seemed to be suggesting their later records are well worth a listen...
The Crackdown is a great album to start off with. Its their transition album from their minimal electronic sound pieces toward their more dancey stuff. If you like the dance oriented stuff just check their next album after that Micro phonies. And if you want to hear their more arty industrial stuff check out the compilation the original sound of Sheffield 78/82, 2x45 like John recommended or Red Mecca
@@FracturedImage Hey, thanks very much for the tips. I'll give The Crackdown a whirl
@@OhJonahII happy to help and happy listening!
I can't believe you didn't open that with a knife.
Now I'm sad
advice for you to make puzzles more repeatable: Sign and date the back of them when you are done.
Bonus tip Write a brief note about what was going on while you put it together.
Small zip locks haha 😄 oops drug reference haha
How do I get the Gold Sheep mirror?
What Cabaret Voltaire is late Cabaret Voltaire?
Dude you guys are absolutely cranking out music. 2 years 2 albums and an EP. My gosh.
John, I know a lot of band's income comes from touring. Is there anyway the merch I order can go more directly to you? For example, if I order it off your website, do you get more as opposed to amazon or something? Also, I lent Wolf In White Van to a friend who didn't know you wrote books. I'm sure they'll think it's lovely.
This man needs a Gundam x Sailor Moon crossover
awh man, what is the point on titles and things in notebooks that we won't know 'til next year?!
I thought I would tell a tale ... Of mountain goats and signal flares and falling in love .. I met the most special girl about 3 years ago .. I have BPD and I have trouble keeping serious relationships .. I was crazy about her immediately .. and ofcourse I was weird .. So I managed to take it up a notch and use the story of the I'll fated Galapagos island Goat to explain how I feel sometimes .. I will give the short version.. The Galapagos islands was having negative overpopulation with the goats becoming a concern .. they were also able to get into the hard to reach nooks and crannies of the islands wich made the job of "reducing the numbers " nearly impossible .. so .. solution .. They fly over in a Helicopter and catch just one .. all the others scatter .. but there's no escape ..so they put a tracking device on the goat they caught .. and let it go .. it will get lonely very quickly and find the herd in the next day or so .. then back comes the helicopters to shoot all the goats that are in sight .. except the one with the tracking device .. he will get lonely very quickly and set off in search of other goats .. you get the drift .. I feel like that goat sometimes .. in retrospect it wasn't the ideal way to keep the weird turned down .. I agree about puzzles being good mental chill time .. Peace and luck ✌️🌛🧚♀️🌠
By the way, we want to see the finished Sailor Moon (?) puzzle, John. These are dark times. We (read: I) demand to see the final form of the puzzle. Thank you.
Next time show some skin! Thong flare plz and ty
John please adopt me
Is it weird that Charles Manson is still making music? Getting into Knives is a little on the nose there, Charles...
Mechanical Man wheweeeeee!
