Whenever Modest Mouse go out on tour, frontman Isaac Brock always seems to do a bunch of crazy shit that gets the internet buzzing again with rumors of his mental unrest. Personally, I don't hold it against the dude. Being on a tour bus for weeks is bound to do some unraveling to your mental state, no matter how stable you may be. Still, taking a knife to yourself is a little too Sid Vicious fo...
A couple days ago, I told you about Modest Mouse’s new 7″, Autumn Beds, which features new songs “Autumn Beds” and “The Whale Song.” Well you heard the former, so here’s the latter. The song is a rolling six-minute piece that we haven’t really seen from the band in a while, so here’s to beautifully excessive [...]

it's a soft, acoustic number with a remarkably Americana feel. the composition is a bit messy but that shouldn't come across as strange to someone familiar with Modest Mouse's music.Modest Mouse - Autumn Beds [mp3]the verdict?

I run a Dutch music blog, as you might perhaps know or not, and for that I started a new column. And since it features one of our favourite Moggers (Anna) and one of our favourite former Moggers (Jon aka Sureshot) I translated it all into English so everyone can enjoy it on here as well! If you want, we are still looking to add one or two people to this column, so hit me up for details if you w...
4.8 out of 10 stars“Meh” was added to the dictionary this year, meaning “mediocre” or “boring.” I tend to use this word a lot when I review things, so I figured that I should fully define the term at some point. And Modest Mouse’s latest, “Satellite Skin,” gives me the perfect opportunity. I really like [...]

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...

Do you see that? It's bigger than my bigger-than-usual remote for the $25 cheap-ass VCR I own. Measuring in at 8in x 3.25in my Tuesday night ticket to see Modest Mouse at LA's Palladium was by far the biggest and most excessive exploitation of LiveNation I've ever seen. They dont even make parking tickets that big! Someone explained to me it was for advertising purposes. What a waste of trees....
I once knew an aquaintance of a friend who was quite the outdoor daredevil. He got our close-knit group of stoners involved in rappelling. For those going "??" rappelling is the sport of climbing down mountains with ropes. You use a series of special chain links like pullys to slowly descend. We would travel a couple hours away to Daniel Boone National forest in Kentucky and spend the weekend d...
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...
