By far and away the band I've listened to most in the last year is The Mountain Goats... and yet I've never posted them to TIMJ?! Time to remedy that: Listen as John Darnielle, with empathy turned to 11, tells and sings the sad, sad story of Frankie Lymon.

On repeat this morning, driving under the moonlight.
From the new album Transcendental Youth. Includes John explaining the inspiration for the song.

Nothing in the shadows, but the shadowhands, reaching out to sad, young, frightened men. The loneliest people in the whole, wide world are the ones you're never going to see again.
