Re: Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse just put out a new single. It's been a while. They are a great, great band. I think they're what The Talking Heads could have been. I'm glad to see you're digging them. Lots of fun.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Re: Modest Mouse

For me Modest Mouse is the biggest American rock band of these times. They have been rocking for the past 15 years or so and they always have something good to treat their fans with. I have attended some of their live concerts and I think, they are simply amazing.

Ive listened to them for awhile. That's funny cuz I just learned Float on as well. I dont think they ever put out a bad album. The did Austin City Limits a few years back. It was really cool

Re: Modest Mouse

Well said Selso!

They never put up a bad album or bad show.
