This appears to be a vanity page.

A vanity page, o nameless one? What do you mean? Are you saying Darnielle wrote this himself? And your basis for saying that is...? Have you honestly never heard of the guy? If not, then it's time to get a clue. Darnielle certainly isn't world famous, in fact most people have never heard of him, but on the other hand he's far from unknown. -Colin 70.59.142.151 17:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Darnielle is widely recognized in independent/underground music circles, and has toured the world multiple times. He's got an interview on Amazon.com that came out right before or right after the Mountain Goats album The Sunset Tree was released. He may not be pop culture, but he is far from nameless.

He's pretty underground, but he is on Pitchfork

He's also been written about in the New Yorker - Blim8183 00:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Can we please get a new photo for this page? That's quite possibly the most unflattering shot of Darnielle that exists. Surely a brief trip to Google can produce something even slightly more attractive? Pariah23 04:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

A brief trip to Flickr can produce many things many times more attractive shot by Lalitree Darnielle, who posts her photography there. Search for "lalitree". Grammargal 00:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
