My firend Ian has a dance called 'The Grandpa Dance'. He only does it to 'Tiny Cities Made of Ashes'. I was with him and trevor and almost got in a fight with small mexican guys on the floor of a Modest Mouse show but I just stared down the main dude (small guy) and they went away and then we lost our car and ended up eating at Pete's Kitchen in Denver. That's my story thanks fellows

i'll go against the grain and say that modest mouse are, in fact, still good and that we were dead was a really good album that was badly under-appreciated and that johnny marr's guitar work on it was brilliant.

i mean they won't ever top lonesome crowded west or the moon and antarctica, but making music that isn't as phenomenal as those two doesn't mean they aren't still making great music

I saw them play last summer and it was good. Isaac Brock told stories about the poo poo in his basement and made bad jokes about whale blubber between sets. Looking forward to seeing than again this summer.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

heard their new single and it sounded exactly like Float On and I was sad

like musician is prolly one of the most miserable careers ever since you either suck or achieve brief notoriety, which can only be prolonged if you mimic what got you notoriety in the 1st place

it's hard to remain successful as an artist when the primary themes that your art depends on involve your life and setting being lovely

edit: ^

and I saw them this fall and the songs from their last three albums are better in person than recorded, for what it's worth

He knows more people than anyone else I know and also has a rad dragon tattoo even though he's not, like, a buff dude that you'd picture having a dragon tattoo. It's legit Japanesey. He likes VWs and has that gene that makes you get in relationships with utterly crazy girls. His head is eggplant-shaped and he went to Columbine high school but just before the shootings. We lived together in a townhouse and one sunday I thought he was super hungover because he didn't come down to the TV room until like 2pm, but it turns out that his cat tried to jump off his dresser to his bed but hosed it up and landed on its weird little neck and died, so he was up there crying with his dead cat for like three hours until coming down to get a trash bag to put it in. So there's this one townhouse in Aurora with a dead cat in a bag like six inches under the ground in the middle of the lovely little yard. That is a trevor sunday and I hope it quenched your thirst, poster it ok.

I believe the cat's name was Java, if that helps. I used to feed it boogers when I was high which I thought was just the funniest goddamn thing but in retrospect was a bit off. If you have any more questions I'll try to help

Modest Mouse was always good to my knowledge. I think 'Lonesome Crowded West' was the best, but everything before and after was still good. I think 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank' is a good album with good songs.

I haven't listened to the new album yet. Those who have, as someone who likes all the Modest Mouse, do you think I'll like it?

yes it is a very good album especially if you liked we were dead. a lot of the pretentious fuckheads in NMD didn't like it but it's probably because they are the type of people who use phrases like "x raped my childhood" with a completely straight face.

he comes off equal parts as a cool down to earth dude and a pompous douchebag. which of these is more accurate to how he really is.

when he isn't recording he's nice but kinda spacey and add, just kinda lost his train of thought a lot. when they were recording he was insufferable and seemed high out of his mind the few times I dealt with him. he had a guy he called his "accountant" who basically told him what he should and shouldn't spend money on, that guy hated me and was a huge dick all the time.
