| 8. The Mountain Goats, “Cut Off
Their Thumbs.” I try to avoid talking about my own stuff on
Last Plane to Jakarta but I am in a bad mood tonight, and this
song, a new one in which more blood gets shed than in any preceding
Mountain Goats song, suits the general timbre of my day. It is unpleasant
and mean-spirited. It makes me feel bad about myself in all the right
ways. I apologize for even bringing it up. |
