I saw this Modest Mouse video last night and was floored by the amount of special effects. It's been a while since I listened to anything new from Modest Mouse because I could never get into anything post-2000 from them. They may have lost me when I started associating one of my favorite songs "Gravity Rides Everything" (The Moon & Antarctica) with "hip" moms riding around in Nissans.I'll alway...

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...

Wow. Langerado, this is me standing up and giving you a little round of applause. Last minute additions: Modest Mouse, Deerhunter, and Gene Ween Band. (Clap Clap Clap) Nice work for a festival that only 3 years ago was drawing 12,000 to a small site outside Ft. Lauderdale. Now in its seventh year and relocated to Miami's Bicentennial Park (Clap Clap Clap) previously announced headliners includ...

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.)

Modest Mouse are still touring in support of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.Fri 23-May Vancouver, BC Deer Lake ParkThu 29-Ma...

I think this is still my all time favorite Modest Mouse song. But ask me tomorrow and I will probably tell you different. Its very mood-related, you see.

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...

I got into a heated discussion with my younger, musically challenged brother last night about my pending move to Los Angeles. After talking in circles with him for what seemed like hours I finally just said 'Dude....can I just play you a song'I am still not sure he got it, but it seemed to make a little more sense to him...which is progress, since he has obviously been blind to my misery for th...
