The Mountain Goats - Alpha Omega video free download
"Alpha Omega" by The Mountain Goats. Off of the album "Protein Source of the Future... Now!".
The unwashed masses require access to this wonderful song. Lyrics:
On the morning you went away
the air was humid and the sky was gray
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
the air was wet, my face was wetter
the pink flowers along the western window made me feel better
I turned the air conditioner on
found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
I popped the top off of the aluminum can
let the brine slide down my fingers, man
it was warm, it was warm on my skin
but i felt the cold blast looming on in
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

@MrSoggySocks The song quality is often low because John Darnielle was militantly lo-fi and often has recorded on boomboxes, etc. The Tennessee and Sunset Tree albums sound pretty polished, if you're looking for higher-quality recordings only.14 years ago

@upinyodamngrill I hail from South Carolina, a place where boiled peanuts are sold at every corner store. I know they look disgusting, and in fact, they feel sort of disgusting, too, but trust me. . .they're very very good. They're soft, juicy, and palpable, with a salty sort of fullness. They're almost meat like in their fullness. You just have to make sure they're well boiled, or they. . .well, they get kind of nasty. It's probably been eight months since you've thought about boiled peanuts14 years ago

Something about the recording and my particular headphones is doing something to my eardrums that is uncomfortable and making my eyes water, but I don't care because I get to listen to an amazing song.14 years ago

They have several albums that were imports or rare releases from obscure labels so many are very hard to find, fortunately most of the songs from those albums are also available on some of their more widely distributed albums. But I strongly recommend getting every album of their's that you can because they are all amazing have their own unique narrative, Long live the Mountain Goats and John Darnielle15 years ago

It's not from Zopilote Machine, it's from "Protein Source of the Future...Now!" You can probably still buy the CDs used from Amazon for the price of a normal CD. That's what I did.15 years ago

It's on Zopilote Machine, which you can probably download from Amazon or something, but I think the CD's out of print :(15 years ago
