Small update to Claremont Cometh's page on DiskothiQ: a note on the origins of the band name (along with the extant notes on pronunciation) since people have asked. This year I'd like to add some more DiskothiQ history notes from our conversations on the Tired podcast, so look forward to that.

Saw the lovely Guy Blackman post about a planned DJ set with the Refrigerator 7" Suck And Run, a personal favorite (not as good as Louder Than Goodbye, but what is?) and you can read about/hear samples of that 7" here: www.claremontcometh.net/library/pape...

Was 2025 a rough one for you? If so, Peter Hughes just dropped a new song for this New Years Eve. And it's open enough that you'll be able to use it for every weary, beaten-down New Years Eve to come. Bring on the next one... peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/happy-...

What's retired Mountain Goats bassist Peter Hughes up to lately? Glad you asked. He's writing about Ryusuke Hamaguchi film Drive My Car (2021) for @alloymag.bsky.social, the autojourno website for people who understand that the intrusive pop-up ad model is bad. alloymag.com/drive-my-car...
Review of Drive My Car
This week, Peter Hughes swaps crashes and jumps for an emotional crashout.

big ol article about me in GQ, if you go in for that sort of thing www.gq.com/story/john-d...
The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell
When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.
