I've never listened to Modest Mouse. No reason why, just never did. Then I heard the album "good news for people who love bad news" and now I'm obsessed. I listen to this cd religiously. I can't get enough. Shout outs the the songs: Satin in a coffin Bukowski Bury me with it but all the rest pretty much rock too. LISTEN TO MODEST MOUSE.

So I really wanted to get one done and I went to the Lone Wolf Tattoo shop, where I had got my previous piercings, to get it done. The lady said that I had really dainty ears and that even though the barbell doesn't feel heavy in your hands, on the cartialage it's really heavy. And as a result you can get a collapsed ear, I looked up pictures, it's gross.... So, I was sad but then I listened to the song that always makes me feel better:

i just sped up the song a little, hope you like it :).

So I've hit the last of my birthdays in the 30's, and having trouble finding the right song for the day. I am enjoying a leisurely day though. I don't know any specific lyrical quotes for age 39 but I think "Float On" may be the right mood with which to start my year.

Yeah, so I gave the whole point of this post away in the title. But who cares. I am going to see Modest Mouse a week on Monday and I am excited! And I am sure that every Modest Mouse song has been posted on here before, but who cares!

I am sad to hear that McSweeney's (an incredible Literary Quarterly started by "A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genuis" writer Dave Eggers), is having financial problems. McSweeney's is one of those rare publications that is just in love with the art of writing. And I don't mean this in the pretentious college anthology way, but collections of writers that know and have a deep love for books and seeing their work in print. Each issue was lovingly printed in a comple... MORE

I put this together in a flash, inspired by an interaction with one of my new roommates...and making it even MORE challenging, my sound card died today on my PC...so I did this with no audio at all...haha...hopefully it flows ok...we shall see The minutia that people get bogged down by...I mean for THE LOVE OF GOD. I don't feel like retelling the whole tale, but sometimes I am left wondering what these people are getting out of life? They are so reserved and so stationer... MORE

So the story is, back in 2004 I asked for "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" for my birthday. What I got was a bootleg copy that cost my brother nothing cause he is incredibly cheap. Little did I know that the version I got was quite different from the version that was in stores. Several songs, while maintaining the same lyrics, did not sound like the final versions. These versions I believe are actually better than the ones on the actual cd. So until 2006, I thought... MORE

so i caught modest mouse perform a very tight set with johnny marr last week and was thoroughly impressed. i had liked certain selections of modest before but hearing them live put them on a different level. for instance, i didn't have much connection to the 'ocean breathes salty' but after last week, i kept hearing it repeatedly in my head. sometimes when i listen to music, i think i'm focused on the melody, rhythms, riffs, etc., and the lyrics take a subconscious backs...

We both got fired on exactly the same day, Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way

This song is Awesome, My first Modest Mouse song (L)

Love this song..haven't stopped listening to it. It's pretty catchy and I think I like this album better than their new one..

I really enjoy how MOG TV finds homemade music videos for songs that don't have legitimate, artist-made videos. This is an excellent example And I think that video adequately serves to balance out this
