A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart.
I was just listening to Kaki King earlier today. She's a crazy good guitarist but I guess you wouldn't be able to tell by that song you posted. I haven't listened to the Mountain Goats.
This has been in the back of my head since I saw the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Bea Arthur plays Dewey's babysitter and they were dancing around to it. And then she had a heart attack.
Another nostalgia blast for me. This was the most gangster album in the world to me when I was like seven. I would use an extension cord to power my boombox and drag it out to my trampoline and bounce around like a lunatic to this idiot's CD. I had no shame.
My brother used to be a big Incubus fan. I don't know if he still is, but a few songs stuck with me over the years and Stellar is one of them. IIRC it was in the first Guitar Hero.
