No Children:The Mountain Goats

Artist: The Mountain Goats

Album: Tallahassee

Appears On (Mixes): Happy Birthday Dad, I Should Not Be Allowed To Touch Anything: The Best Of The Mountain Goats

Song Notes: Happy Birthday Dad: This was one of the first Mountain Goats songs I'd heard, and it's still one of my all-time favorites. Great lyrics as always from John Darnielle, and a pretty melody. I love that sense of depressed defiance in the lyric. 4AD used to have it as a free download on their site -- it might still be there, I'm not sure, but at any rate, I couldn't find it recently. But, well, hey, you should really just buy Tallahassee anyway. It's a really good record. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
