Arms For Legs (Autumn Addition)
Panda showed me this band like 2 or 3 years ago and I never got around to downloading his stuff. Not to mention his stuff is pretty obscure. Anyway this is the album you can get for free off his website but you have to either enter your credit card or paypal account and thats fucking gay so I uploaded it.

The Sheperd's Dog
I honestly haven't given this album much of a listen but from the times I have listened to it I know Beam has made this album much more polished then any of his other releases. Maybe I'll listen to this closer sometime soon.

The Creek Drank The Cradle
Our Endless Numbered Days
I can't decide if The Creek Drank The Cradle is better than this or if this is better then TCDTC. Regardless both are Sam Beam's top work and you should download this ASAP.

Caesura
Helios(who is really just Kieth Kenniff) makes amazing ambient/electronica music. It's probably the best music to fall asleep to but at the same time it's still engaging. Very pretty and relaxing.

bigbade told me the first song was corrupted for him so if its corrupted for you to, HERE it is.

Satanic Messiah
Just a tour EP I had lying around that was originally offered for free on their site for a pay-as-much/little-as-you-like thing but that stopped. Luckily I got it back in 2008. This is going to be my last The Mountain Goats post for awhile unless I want to find all the EPs and upload them or they come out with a new album.

The Sunset Tree
The Mountain Goats 13th album. Full band.
Darnielle dedicates the album to his stepfather – by whom the album was "made possible." The album contains many lyrics referring to Darnielle's abusive childhood – especially noticeable in the songs "This Year" "Dance Music", and "Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod." The tone of the album is somber and serious, dealing with Darnielle's longing for escape and his feelings of powerlessness, leading up to the song "Lion's Teeth", which has been described by Darnielle as a "revenge fantasy".
The album is summed up in the final two songs: "Love, Love, Love", in which he extols the virtue and folly of doing things for reasons of love, and "Pale Green Things", a quiet story in which the singer recalls a time when his stepfather took him out to watch the horses at the racetrack. Darnielle closes the song, and the album, with a lyric of his sister calling him to inform him of his stepfather's death.

We Shall All Be Healed
The Mountain Goats 12th album. Its about meth addicts. Recorded with a full band like Tallahassee
"All of the songs on We Shall All Be Healed are based on people John used to know. Most of them are probably dead or in jail by now."
Download
Tallahassee
11th album by The Mountain Goats. His first album produced in a studio and like an actual band instead of a guy with a guitar and maybe some backup people with his boombox. It's a concept album about the Alpha Couple which Darnielle has touched on several times before in past releases but this time he expands on that greatly.

All Hail West Texas
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAA. 10th Album by The Mountain Goats and the last album recorded on John Darnielle's trademark Panasonic RX-FT500 boombox(the last lo-fi record). This is his masterpiece. If you only download one MG album, it better be this one. He even pays homage to Notorious B.I. fuckin G. Hands down his best work.
Download IMMEDIATELY
Hail and Farewell, Gothenburg
This is an unreleased recording and was supposed to be the sequel to Sweden but for whatever reason wasn't released. Someone close to Darnielle leaked it around 2007. Here's what he had to say.
John Darnielle, has said that the album "is mastered too fast, by the way - the voice and guitar on it are about a full tone higher than they were actually performed." Due to leaks like this one, he now destroys any masters that he does not want to escape without his blessing. This includes about fifteen songs that did not make the cut for All Hail West Texas.
Which is really very sad because All Hail West Texas is fucking amazing. Transitive Property states that those songs would've been amazing instead of fucking amazing.

Taboo VI: The Homecoming
I hope you guys love the mountain goats or want to love them because i just uploaded a GB+ of material.
Here's TMG's first album, I wouldnt recommend it for your first TMG album. Here's why from the guy who actually wrote it.
When I wrote and recorded Taboo VI, I had no idea that anyone outside of a few friends would ever hear it; neither did I hope that anyone outside of those friends would ever express any interest in it. A couple of the things on it (Going to Alaska, Eleven Bands, Solomon Revisited, the Hank Williams song) are things I'd stand by if pressed, though I wish I'd've known how to sing better back when they were recorded. While I completely understand the collector's urge, I would offer the following caveat to anyone trying to hunt down Taboo VI: it's not what you think it is. Its successor, the Hound Chronicles, represented an abrupt and total change in direction, and is the stylistic starting point for all that followed. While I can't and wouldn't disown Taboo VI, I'd like to offer this note of caution to those who like the later stuff and are trying to get their hands on my first efforts: you probably won't like it much, and if you pay an inflated price for it, you'll probably feel cheated. Having said that, if you still feel inclined to hunt it down, I do hope that you enjoy it on its own meager terms. It means well and didn't want to hurt anyone. Except for maybe that one guy. I hate that guy.
Download if you hate that guy too!
This Binary Universe
BT used to do trance music for clubs and at one point even wrote a song for N*SYNC. Then he made this. I'm at a loss on how to describe this album. I can't describe it in any other way then "It will blow your mind".

Unmap
Here's another side project of Justin Vernon(lead singer of Bon Iver). This time he teams up with Collections of Colonies of Bees to make an interesting experimental post-rock/pop type project. Basically Vernon uses his voice as an instrument rather than singing lyrics...well, I mean he still sings lyrics but they're very nonsensical. Regardless it's still worth a listen and they experiment with auto-tune more than what you see on The Wolves(Act 1 & 2) from For Emma and there is a more fleshed out version of Woods(from The Blood Bank EP) titled Still on here.
Download
American Football
American Football was a short-lived band only completing only one record(and one ep) but what they made was extremely influential. basically they combined the lyrics of fugazi/rites of spring and other post-hardcore("emo") bands and math rock. The album oozes of coming home to dinner at twilight after playing with your friends during one of the last days of summer. I don't really care if that didn't make sense because im on medication right now.
