Songs You Should Be Listening To

For the life of me I cannot remember why I impulsively shelled out thirty dollars to join the DCFC fan club. I did this a couple months ago; I think I thought I would find the inside scoop on the new album somewhere on their site. In the end, the other side of their flashy fan club site was sorely disappointing.
However, the other day I received an e-mail telling me that if I was one of the first 20 to respond I would win tickets to see death cab record a live session for public radio in Chicago. Well, I just moved back to Chicago and I recently acquired an ancient, used, blackberry on e-bay. The fan club and this large chunky black plastic portable e-mail box enabled me to win these tickets.
I sat front row, had an amazing time, and got to hear some new tracks live. It was a good morning.

more then a week ago XRT, a radio station here in chicago, played modest mouse's new single, dashboard. i was at work in an echoy bakery and it was difficult to hear. but i felt disappointed. tonight i happened upon it online and gave it an actual listening to. i'm still not all that impressed. i keep coming across posts whinging about the modest mouse past. they want the modest mouse we were listening to years ago. i loved it then and even now, but they needed to grow. good news for people who love bad news was fantastic. i am glad it was so well received. two years after it came out without any new modest mouse i was beginning to fear that when we did get some, it would be stuck in their recent success. with the release of this song i worried my concern was just. i am still going to buy the album. i am still going to listen to it. i just wanted something new and so far i am not convinced i am going to get what i crave. how many times did they push the release of this album back? anybody disagree?

yeah, i don't think it's that horrible but i don't think it's amazing either. waiting for the full album to judge completely.
i loved it then and even now, but they needed to grow.
I agree with you on this. If a band puts out a great album, then a year later puts out another album that sound the same, They have failed as artist. I havn't heard the new modest mouse song, I'll have to give it a listen.
I did not and still do not like Good News... This new song is decent as long as I forget that its Modest Mouse. Their past albums sounded nothing like each other, but they were all equally fantastic albums.
Their sound changed for the worse. I will also buy the new album, but just out of habit.
My little sisters friend was one of these people. She recently got an ipod and had no music to speak of on her computer. So she synced up his library. Her friend and I always had the same taste in music. Mog would have pointed me his way. Now i have her ipod and subsequently his music. I am in heaven. She's in town for the holidays.

Sometimes I have conversations with people and I want to put things in their iTunes libraries because they are obviously lacking in any and/or what I consider to be good music. :)

Sounds like you got your moneys worth...
I, like you, joined the fanclub...The only perk I have gotten is the ability to preorder tickets.
Congrats. I am jealous.
