For those of you who are Mountain Goats fans, John Darnielle is the last guest on the Marc Maron WTF Podcast. And man, I thought that I loved John Darnielle as much as I could possibly love him, but I was wrong, because this interview with him has unearthed whole new depths of admiration for him. Marc Maron often asks his guests some pretty personal questions, and Darnielle talks a lot about his abuse, his drug use, and self-harm. It gets really heavy but it was so cathartic to listen to. Highly recommended, especially if "The Sunset Tree" is one of your go-to albums when depressed, as it is for me.
