{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-beat-the-champ-vinyl","title":"The Mountain Goats - Beat the Champ Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing include digital download. 2015 release from the veteran indie folk band led by John Darnielle. “Beat the Champ is about professional wrestling, which was an avenue of escape for me when I was a kid. Wrestling was low-budget working class entertainment back then, strictly UHF material. It was cheap theater. You had to bring your imagination to the proceedings and you got paid back double. I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child, and to see what more there might be in them now that I’m grown.” — John. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle despite the plural moniker. Although he remains the core member of the band, he has gradually worked with a variety of collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthwestern Territory 04:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehe Legend of Chavo Guerrero 03:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeign Object 02:52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimal Mask 02:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoked Out 01:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeel Turn 2 05:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire Editorial 03:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabbed to Death Outside San Juan 03:49\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWerewolf Gimmick 02:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuna 03:28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmasked! 03:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ballad of Bull Ramos 02:53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHair Match 05:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46920081637633,"sku":"673855051611","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/9063\/4497\/files\/2848868.jpg?v=1763167912","url":"https:\/\/factoryrecords.com\/products\/the-mountain-goats-beat-the-champ-vinyl","provider":"Factory Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
