The Mountain Goats are known for their low-fidelity recording approach, hard-strumming acoustic guitar lines and ultra-literate lyrics. The band's new album, “Heretic Pride,” is just out and frontman John Darnielle performs highlights.

    from the perspective of an insider, war of any length may be measured as a long war. From the outside, time passes easier and our marking of length of a war is measured against our marking of our normal lives. Calling WW1 that was a mere 4 years in time, or WW2 that was a mere 6 years in time, anything but long is silly.

    you're missing the point, DaveA: the songs NOT about a war with any countries, other peoples, etc.; it's about a war with one's self.
