What once was NX35 became 35 Conferette. What once was 35 Conferette is now 35 Denton. I’ve written a countdown for the past two festivals and I’m writing one yet again. Now that I’ve brought you up to speed, let’s begin, shall we?
The Mountain Goats
I had typed up some words and then my computer decided to eat them so instead, I will just tell you The Mountain Goats is probably my favorite out of the national acts announced so far for 35 Denton. Please use the rest of this time to memorize these lyrics because it’s gonna be a g.d. singalong in 49 days, y’all.
The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton
the best ever death metal band out of denton
were a couple of guys, who’d been friends since grade school.
one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff.
and they practiced twice a week in jeff’s bedroom.
the best ever death metal band out of denton
never settled on a name.
but the top three contenders, after weeks of debate,
were satan’s fingers, and the killers, and the hospital bombers.
jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame.
so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram,
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.
this was how cyrus got sent to the school
where they told him he’d never be famous.
and this was why jeff,
in the letters he’d write to his friend,
helped develop a plan to get even.
when you punish a person for dreaming his dream,
don’t expect him to thank or forgive you.
the best ever death metal band out of denton
will in time both outpace and outlive you.
hail satan!
hail satan tonight!
hail satan!
hail hail!

*Apologies for not starting yesterday for an even 50 days of countdown. There were more important matters at hand like signing this petition against SOPA and PIPA, participating in the blackout, and creating ¡Viva SOPA PIPA!
