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....

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.)

Bumbershoot's line-up is interesting to say the least. Sheryl Crow, Modest Mouse and Katy Perry are at the top of the bill thus far bringing together quite an eclectic audience -- Sheryl Crow the older AC crowd, Modest Mouse the mainstream meets indie, and Katy Perry, basically everyone under the age of 15. And all those people in between? Not to worry. This is only an "early look" into the li...

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.
