unhinged "modest mouse freaks me out. i drift into this weird drug haze and feel like there are robust sickfuck beasts and killer clowns from outer space stabbing me with a psyco knife real slow and I never die."

that whole scene at sean's house where everyone was totally transfixed by modest mouse and he got up and said "this music scares me; i'm going home" makes so much more sense now. hahaha

The Truth This band I have followed "locally" for the past two years, kinda wierd that they are getting "big" now.

They have that style of original, creative, universal exploratory lyrics that I find so fascinating, plus they are from the same city I work in/live near, Issaquah!
010726
...
The Truth "the universe lives on a math equation that never really ever even really ends anyways, and it inspires our creation, we're on the tip of it's tongue and no we aint' sayin'. we aint sure where you stand you aint machines and you aint land and the animals and plants, they aint man, and the animals and plant's they eat eachother." 010726
...
The Truth paste! I love those songs!

Also,

"Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes the the reservation drinks and gets mean
I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me
And I want out desperately"


and,

"The 3rd Planet is sure that they're being watched by an
eye in the sky that can't be stopped.
When you get to the promise land your gonna shake that
eyes hand. "
010726
...
The Truth Thanks unhinged, now I got that part stuck in my head that goes
"well I'm drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca coca cola."
010726
...
unhinged "i can feel it going right on down right on down my throat as we're headed down the road to tiny cities made of ashes i'm gonna punch you in your face i'm gonna knock you in your glasses..come on"

:-P

crimson All this talkin' all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothin' left to breathe
And you think you feel most everything
And we know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
So you think you've figured out everything
But we know that our minds are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
All this talkin' all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothing left to breathe
Up until there's nothin' left to speak.
Up until the better parts of space

unhinged so i heard their new album came out today

anyone got ahold of it yet?
040406
...
silentbob i have heard mixed reviews
i am going to get a copy soon
040406
...
whitechocolatewalrus yay, i've had it for about three weeks. i have no idea how this happened, but it is very excellent. i especially like the blame_it_on_the_tetons song. i would have to say that this album is quite a bit different from any of their other albums, which is good in my opinion. 040406
...
walrus dammit, i didn't mean that i don't like their other albums, i just meant that it is good to have all of your albums to be different so as to avoid repetativeness. 040406
...
phallusdei holy shit, the new modest mouse is amazing. it sais more than anything else they've put out.

i backed my car into a copcar, the other day
well he just drove off sometimes life's ok

and

and we were laughin at the stars while our feet hung tight to the ground
so pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns,
but we were still dumb dumb dumber than the dirt dirt dirt on the ground
well wings on flames, kings with no names, well this place just ain't got right air right nowyou were so all over town but still crayola brown,
well you should run around yourself right now
040425
...
unhinged i got the new one and three old ones about a week ago. i myself have mixed feelings about the newest one. it doesn't quite sound like modest mouse to me. a little on the over-produced side but the lyrics are good as ever.

the good times are killing me
040426
...
silentbob I find the CD to be beautiful, i don't think theres anything wrong with straying away from past endeavors, also i dont think this is that much of a stretch really. its really really good.
People shouldn't have preconcieved notions.
040426
...
unhinged eh, i didn't say it wasn't good, but i do tend to lean away from things that are over-produced especially when they were under-produced in the past. but track 9 i think it is....that's some good stuff. and that song about satin in a coffin...that's good too. 040426
...
mighty mouse i could buy myself a reason
i could sell myself a job
i could hang my self on treason
oh i am my only god!
hahahahahaha!

unhinged building nothing out of something

not building something out of nothing

i was just listening to that today

...a white suit and a baby blue sedan
and i am doing the best that i can
i'm lonesome when you're around
i never feel lonesome when i'm by myself
..
i didn't go to work for a month
i didn't get out of bed for eight days straight
i haven't hung out with anyone
if i did i'd have nothing to say
...
and that song with the 50s guitar cover
sleepwalk i think it's called

modest mouse does strange things to my heart muscle
040628

once again Perhaps it is pathetic. But the first time I heard Modest Mouse on the radio... I danced. Not to the song, but the kind of dance a three year old does when you tell them "You're going to DISNEY WORLD!!!"

And now every time I hear Float On... i smile like a fool.

Forgive me.

unhinged anything off the moon and antarctica is a good place to start with modest_mouse; weird but not too weird like their early stuff. kind of an accquired taste, the early modest_mouse is. unless of course, you like dirty weird music that sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement.

or all night diner

unhinged awesome show at an awesome venue (the orpheum in madison wi) even though isaac's voice sounded a little shot.

played old songs like tiny cities made of ashes and talking shit about a pretty sunset and covered lyrics from like a rat while playing a good mix of the last two albums including bury me with it, bukowski, satin in a coffin and opened the entire show with black cadillacs.

the show was a little short; it makes me wish i would have picked up the drink tickets (a ticket to the show and two free drinks for $20) at their show tonight in milwaukee.

two to three drummers in one band: rocking or cocking? i still can't decide. but the two set drummers had the precision of some crazy machine.

rockstar grade: almost a 9 out of 10; not quite up there with the first time i saw les_claypool or ivet's atlantic showcase show at the nyabinghi but

on_contentment

it was a butt_shaking beer_drinking good time.
