Get Happy #1

Here are three things making me happy these days.  Yes, happy:

1. Poe Ballantine: More about him later.  For now, find yourself a copy of 501 Minutes to Christ.


2. Old Grand-Dad 114: Crazy delicious.


3. "You're in Maya," the greatest song ever written.  I'm off the see the Mountain Goats tonight, in fact, and thus will be indulging in happymaking items #2 and #3 for the remainder of the day.  Pray for me, friends.

I wholeheartedly concur on #3. For the uninitiated, here are the lyrics:

T'anks, Pete.

I've been enjoying this particular live version (track 6):

(Which, if you're a music geek, is somewhat notable because Darnielle fucks up by switching the order of the lyrics in the final verse.)
