Weird as fuck.

Pure genius.

I love it.

Discuss.

i like float on a lot. but like other modest mouse 'fans' it is the only song i have heard and base my entire knowledge of the band on it. i talk about how 'indie' they are even though 'good news' was released on a major label.

actually, talking shit about a pretty sunset is a fine song, but its the only one ive heard off of long drive. maybe ill put that hmv gift card to good use.

I have good news for people who love bad news. I like it but I haven't heard anything else by Modest Mouse thats not on that.

What kind of band is this ?

They used to be straight up indie, but now they're going mainstream. Most people whine and bitch and moan about now that they're popular their music sucks, but I think the new shit is just as good as the old.

I don't listen to indie, so that doesn't really help me much. Any particular tracks you'd recommend, old or new ?

float on

Yeah, thanks Demos.

I'd suggest 3rd Planet, Dark Center of the Universe, Tiny Cities Made of Ashes, Paper Thin Walls, Custom Concern, Tundra/Desert, Exit Does Not Exist, She Ionizes & Atomizes, Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset, and Space Travel is Boring.

Just to start you off.

just type modest mouse into itunes and download some shit. its good.

I only have the Moon & Antartica and Good News for People Who Like Bad News, though I've heard a good deal of their other older stuff as well. Modest Mouse has always been good, and still are.

Think red neck radiohead.
