So my wife has this thing where she can't distinguish The Decemberists from The Mountain Goats

Like legitimately whenever I play songs from one band, she thinks it's the other

Well today I got this text from her RE: the new Mountain Goats album

Watching my story go from a college student's rough first full length script, to a pretty successful short script, and back to a fully fleshed out feature script.
