| Introducing myself and a question |
[14 Feb 2011|04:34pm] |
Hi there,
Looks like this community has been lying dormant for some time, but I'm hoping it's possible to breathe some life into it.
I just joined today, and have been really getting into the band recently. I've been a moderate fan for awhile (a few years ago a friend introduced me with Long Drive, Building Nothing and Antarctica), but lately as I've heard some of the newer stuff and starting reading and learning more about the band and the charming Isaac Brock, I've just been getting more and more into their music.
So here's my question: I recently purchased Ship Sank and Good News. I also have all three albums mentioned above. If I were to acquire one more album for now, which one should it be?
Pleased to meet all of you. Thanks in advance for the advice. : )

how can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently?
say what you will about old MM versus new MM versus popularity versus your own stupid ego, but isaac brock is a fucking genius lyricist.

This is the best place to share a Modest Mouse tattoo with others who will truly appreciate it. I came up with the idea about two years ago and ultimately commissioned a friend to sketch it for me. It took me way too long to bring the entire idea to fruition, but here's the result!
( My brain's the cliff... )

| Kingston ticket stub search |
[23 Aug 2009|11:36am] |
Long shot, I know.... but my boyfriend proposed to me at the Kingston show the other night and I am DESPERATE to get a scan of the ticket stub if at all possible. I bought will-call tickets so I didn't get a memento for what turns out was one of the best nights of my life!
I was at that show, as well as both Toronto shows. Two setlists, one drumstick, one ring, one Cockroach, and three Shit Lucks! Too bad we didn't get a proper King Rat, though.

Anyone else hear it yet?

| Autumn Beds Cover Art |
[07 Jul 2009|08:34am] |
I love the cover art of Autumn Beds and Satellite Skin for that matter. I'm not sure why, it just really pleases me.
Even though this community seems to be mostly dead, I am having a revived love for Modest Mouse with all of these new releases. Autumn Beds, the song, really reminds me of Ugly Casanova and the lyrics take me back to Nasty Parlor Tricks. Overall, this is great music.
What do you all think? Is anyone still reading this? I'm trying to make it to one of the Toronto dates, as they are flying over Detroit. I hope this post finds you all well.

I threw together a few icons/banners today and I thought I'd share them here for anyone who might be interested. Take a gander under the cut for a boat load of awesome.
( i do not need you to tell that i am not a cat )
Also, is anyone else attending Bumbershoot this summer? I actually have never been, but it definitely sounds interesting.

Hi all, I know I posted the set list in the comments of another thread, but I finally uploaded a couple pics from the Oakland show as well. I was on the second standing level so I was kind of far, but ( here they are anyway. )

| Modest Mouse in Oakland |

What a great show this evening. We got All Night Diner which surprised and delighted me.
I know this is kind of old news here and everywhere else where pre-Float On fans exist, but Modest Mouse attracts some IDIOTS to their shows. Never in my life have I seen so many young poseurs, drunk on whatever they could hide in a water bottle and moshing during "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes." Honestly, where do they come from and why do they bother?!
I am not a violent person, but I wanted to throw some elbows tonight, seriously.
Oh, Modest Mouse. Why must you simultaneously rock my face and attract San Francisco sorority girls?
Other than that, what a show! I hope the rest of you enjoy the older bits they're including in their shows. Some real gems that I hadn't heard live since high school (2000). Happy concert-going!

I just found out, hours too late, that Modest Mouse is playing a smaller venue in my town (and is supposedly on a secret, small-venues-only tour) in mid March. This show of course sold out in minutes when ticket sales opened this morning.
I'm a little miffed that not a single one of the 8 million Modest Mouse e-mailing lists I subscribe to gave me the heads up. :(

In "March In The Sea", the lyrics at the very beginning don't really match up to what I think he's saying. But, every lyric site on the internet thinks he's saying "If food needed pleasing you'd suck all the seasoning off, Suck it off!"
I'm doing a project in a typography class and need to know the exact lyrics. Anyone think they could help me out?
Thanks :)
