May 31, I had the pleasure of attending the R.E.M and Modest Mouse concert @ The Greek Theater in Berkeley. (Super cool venue by the way.) Opening was The National of which I hadn't really heard a whole lot from them. They kinda had a Coldplay feel to them. But I can tell you the one thing I was most impressed by was the instrumentals more than anything. Although I am a sucker for great musical talent. I think I counted a total of 8 people on stage all playing a differen... MORE

Modest Mouse is heading out on a late spring/summer tour with REM and the National. (On the indie front this tour almost compares with the mini traveling festival that is Kanye West's tour.) Just thought I'd fill you in. There isn't any new album they're plugging. Modest Mouse are still touring in support of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

I had my iPod on a shuffle of my Modest Mouse collection the last few days. I became a Modest Mouse fan with the release of Good New For People Who Love Bad News, explored Moon and Antartica shortly after, and bought The Lonesome Crowded West shortly before We Were Dead.. came out in early 2007. I bought four more of their indie releases after. When We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank came out, it seemed "old" Modest Mouse fans were lamenting the "change" in their musi... MORE

i deleted it. it's gone. forever. the ironic part is that more people saw that than any of my other posts, and it was the most self involved and superficial thing ive ever written in my life. idk, it was lame. the situation, the way i felt, the post itself, it was all crummy. i feel better today, but theres always a dreary kind of feeling settled into my chest. idk, i dont think im a dreary person. anyways, this song is Dashboard by Modest Mouse. it's good, ju...

Twenty years ago, The Smiths and R.E.M. were just two bands that happen to come along and in part define a decade. Guitarist Johnny Mar, once with the Smiths and now with Modest Mouse, recently weighed in on his current group's upcoming tour with the legendary Athens, Georgia trio in the US this May. R.E.M. is in promotion mode for their April 1 release of Accelerate, Marr says the prospect of joining forces with them is an exciting one: Will they be able to define a ... MORE

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.

Modest Mouse just released a animated and psychedelic new video for their song "Fly Trapped In A Jar". The video was directed by The Saline Project and it looks like the band is performing in a bubblegum world somewhere in Second Life. "Fly Trapped In A Jar" is off their 2007 release, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

Dissent TV: Tony with Issac and Johnny from Modest Mouse on ShredOrDie.com Tony Hawk interviews Isaac Brock and Johnny Marr before the start of one of Modest Mouse's shows. Hawk seems like a natural at the music journalist racket. Move over Lester Bangs!

Wondering what to do for the 'Roo? Here's a little advice from a two-year veteran. DO try to arrive as early as you can. Not only are the car-inspection lines (yes, your car will be searched, albeit gently) on Thursday afternoon considerably shorter, but you’ll also likely be directed to camping much closer to the Bonnaroo action. This beats a 15-20 minute walk from your tent to the stage. DO dress smart. Bonnaroo is held in June on a Tennessee farm with limited shade ... MORE

Recently I moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bakersfield, California (a small city in southern California). I played as DJ for at least half of the trip and my frieind drove the 4 hour drive. I brought along some Modest Mouse albums and he brought some emo/pop-punk stuff that really didn't do justice to the trip haha. Anyways, I popped in Interstate 8 by Modest Mouse and we listened to the whole album while driving down the lonely, two-lane highway in the middle of the night... MORE
