MOG

Sorry for the Delay! Yes, I won the Mog contest to see Modest Mouse. I have always liked the group, but didn't know all that much about them nor had I seen them live, so I was real excited by this opportunity. There were many surprises, the first being the last minute change in venue from the Greek due to a fire in the park. This was kind of a bummer, as we have heard what a great place the LA Greek was to see a band. And the theatre it ended up at was in Universal City,... MORE

Speaking of tour announcements, Modest Mouse has released MORE dates and places that you can catch their show. The most up to date schedule that I found today is over at Pitchfork. What is it with bands not updating their own websites and feeds? Well, you can count on mog to know who is where and when! Go check it out at pitchfork, but be sure to come back and scour the Modest Mouse Artists' Page on MOG. Just click on the name Modest Mouse in the artist tag above my ... MORE

I'm almost positive I have a new favorite song. Modest Mouse. That's all I have to say.

Plug your ears until the scary lady stops with the mouth movement. Lyrics for his and her pleasure.

The poem "I Died as a Mineral" by 13th century Persian poet and theologian Rumi is featured in one of my favorite books: "The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson. Here is an excerpt: I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? and here is portion of the lyrics to Modest Mouse "I Came as a Rat": I came as ice, I came as a whoreI came as advice that c... MORE

Just got back from a trip to Ithaca. When the city shut down yesterday, I took some pics to complement the ones I took when I was there this summer. Now I get to wait for the airline to deliver my bag and relish my decision to relinquish seasons.

Genius - love the song, isaac is a god amongst men

Modest Mouse is getting a lot of radio airplay right now, and I love their new stuff too... but come have a look at Pete's Pick for a little dose of some of their (not too far) back catalog.
Pete's Pick: Modest Mouse

awesome song.....awesome concert! awesome band. what else can i say.

I just saw Modest Mouse live at the Orpheum in Boston, and it kicked ass! I luckily got amazing seats and loved every minute of it. They played mostly off their new album, which I like, and only 2 songs off Lonesome Crowded West: Trailer Trash and Doin the Cockroach(which was amazing).I sang along to every song. I never have more fun than when I see an awesome show.

I can relate to this song so much. Its a good song to listen to chill out to if someones just pissing you off, lol.

this is pretty much one of my favorite modest mouse songs. i dig the crazy lyrics and awesome beats.

I'm going to see Against Me! in a bar! And it's 18+, so no dumb scene kids! My girlfriend got me a ticket, so me and her are going in April to see them in Dekalb, Illinois. AWESOME.
