Andrew Jackson Jihad and Jeffrey Lewis Join Tallahassee Turns Ten

Phoenix band Andrew Jackson Jihad are known nationwide for their energetic folk-punk and their DIY work ethic. Jeffrey Lewis has been praised by Will Oldham, Jens Lekman, and Jarvis Cocker for his songwriting, especially his literate, often absurd lyrics. In 2008, Lewis illustrated a “comic book press kit” for The Mountain Goats’ album Heretic Pride. Both are now a part of Tallahassee Turns Ten.

Jeffrey Lewis will be covering “See America Right” and Andrew Jackson Jihad will tackle “Alpha Rats Nest”.  Anyone else excited about this? If you haven’t already, you can back the kickstarter here. Just $5 will get you a digital download of the whole thing.

Jeffrey Lewis doing “See America Right” will get my donation dollars. 

I’m really excited. 

if anyone wants to form a temporary band (or permanent band, if we totally click and end up being capable of contributing something incredible to the art world) specifically for the purpose of covering a song from Tallahassee, i will sing vocals on any song on that beautiful fucking album. (my voice is pretty ok i promise but more importantly i love john darnielle’s music so much that it seeps through my vocal cords) the bottom line is, maybe someone who also lives in the boston area will see this and want to record mountain goats songs for fun and submit them to this wonderful celebration of one of my Top 5 Albums I’ve Ever Loved In Life Ever Of All Time. need i remind you that i first got on tumblr to post a photo each day under the username (drumroll plz) http://tallahassee.tumblr.com (it totally still exists, in its original form! sometimes i get intoxicated and look back at it; that fucking DAILY documentation of my freshman year of college/the best relationship i ever had, and i feel really embarrassing feelings!) and, like, i probably wouldn’t have gotten through late high school/early college without the mountain goats, specifically “tallahassee”.

YA I KNOW THIS ISN’T LIVEJOURNAL SORRY BYE

Yesterday, Harvard & Comm

Rachael, Pat and I are walking past a presumably homeless man sitting outside of Tedeschi’s with nip of unidentifiable liquor.

Man: Lemme ax you ladies a question, why don’t y’all ladies ever wanna talk to me?

Me: I mean… it’s nothing personal.

Man: Damn I like the way she said that!!! [higher-pitched, slightly mocking tone] “It’s nothin’ personal, Gaaaary!”
