hearing lin manuel miranda doing backing vocals on the new mountain goats album and really thought "who's doing this corny lin manuel miranda impression"
related: this morning ramsey and I concluded the key marker of a "good" musical is at least one mentally ill character and I feel like this overlaps with the john/lin theory
my theory of "john darnielle and lin manuel miranda are each others warios" remains undefeated
john darnielle — didn't i read a book by a guy with that name —
John Darnielle is an American musician and novelist best known as the primary, and originally sole, member of the American band The Mountain Goats, for which he is the writer, composer, guitarist, pianist, and vocalist. He has written three novels: Wolf in White Van, Universal Harvester, and Devil House.
ok i had no idea, this presages an odd day
@tati JD is one of the greatest to ever do it but I have described his music as "what if lin manuel miranda previously had a heroin problem and an abusive stepfather"
my theory of "john darnielle and lin manuel miranda are each others warios" remains undefeated
