The Mountain Goats Are Coming To The Colbert Report

Remember when we learned that Stephen Colbert is a Neutral Milk Hotel fan? More evidence of his impeccable taste in music:

"The Mountain Goats are slated to make their late night television debut on "The Colbert Report" on Tuesday, October 6 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. In concurrence with their performance, colbertnation.com will stream their upcoming album "The Life of the World to Come."

This is amazing news. I still have friends who have never heard the Mountain Goats. And everyone should hear the Mountain Goats! It's pretty awesome that SC is using his show to share them with the world. (The Flaming Lips are coming to the show on another night, and they're great too, but already hugely famous, so not as surprising.)

So happy for every bit of exposure tmg gets. Because John Darnielle is a wonderful man, and we need more casual fans to balance out the many insufferable hardcore fans.

insufferable hardcore Mountain Goats fans are the Only decent insufferable fans left.
