the mountain goats is actually the name for one guy, john danielle. this is the first and only album i've listened to by the mountain goats, and i'd say it's not bad. judging by what allmusic has to say about him, there are high literary expectations from his work and it seems as if the focus of his fans is directed towards this end and not necessarily to the musical aspects of his songs. as far as the music goes, it's fairly simple and DIY indie/folk, though this album is apparently more produced than his earlier work. here's the title track, "get lonely."

oh wonderful, who introduced you?
i told you, i had heard a little before you mentioned it... but yes, you reintroduced me.
"tallahassee" and "the sunset tree" are my favorites, i think.
