Hahahaha I can’t stop laughing at this pic posted by LD’s daughter.
This.
Oh, hey: a brand new issue of Summer of Megadeth Dad is on the shelves. We couldn’t be more pleased.
Here’s an excerpt:
John Darnielle is this indie-rock generation’s poet laureate, strumming too hard and singing too passionately to be a mere folkie, despite much of his catalog boiling down to a fistful of chords and illustrious verses. At 48, he’s written more concept albums than Genesis and Cursive combined, and several of them are modern classics: 2002’s downward marriage spiral Tallahassee, 2004’s tweaker journal We Shall All Be Healed, and especially 2005’s harrowing abuse recollection The Sunset Tree all brought him to much wider audiences. Then 2009’s heavily biblical The Life of the World to Come and 2012’s mental-illness meditationTranscendental Youth deepened his reach. He’s turned such lyrics as “I shot him in the face” and “I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me” into life-affirming battle cries for his rabid fan base.Buy a copy, should you feel so inclined.
