A Story by James Stockstill One evening at Denver’s Bluebird Theater, where Modest Mouse was playing on a bill with fellow Northwesterners Built to Spill, Graham broke a second-floor window and stole into the backstage area. As Modest Mouse came off stage, he was excitedly waiting for them, blood streaming from cuts on his arms and face that he’d received from stray shards of glass. Chanting “This’ll do it” under his breath, Graham introduced himself to the source of his enlightenment. Here again the facts become obscured. While each band member remembers Graham saying “This’ll do it” repeatedly, they disagree on how he referred to him-self. According to Brock, he introduced himself as “Ugly Casanova.” Green remembers Graham saying “I’m Isaac,” and Judy remem More...

I was balancing on tha white line, with this song playin on my ipod. it was amazing...just blueberry feilds and woods on both sides of me. thesmrtestpersonevr | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Float On performed by Modest Mouse does anyone else think this song is being sarcastic? as in, haha yeah right a cop car would just drive off after you backed into it? and how absurd it would be to be fine with getting scammed out of everything because you "learned some slight of hand"? i just don't think the happy-go-lucky straightforward interpretation fits with any of their other work. see: any other song modest mouse has made. Early Greatness | Reviewer: andrew ------ About the song Heart Cooks Brain performed by Modest Mouse I don't think Modest Mouse has made a song this good in awhile. Okay, that's not so true, The Moon and Antarctica was an all around great album. But honestly, Float On is a cover and Missed the Boat is just awful. Maybe their next one will bounce back. Best song i have heard in a while! | Reviewer: 10 year old fan ------ About the song Ocean Breathes Salty performed by Modest Mouse Very impressive, probably one of the best bands the planet has seen, heard, and researched. A band such as Modest Mouse only comes around once in a life time, you should count yourself lucky as to ever listen to this incredible band. new modest sucks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Baby Blue Sedan performed by Modest Mouse anyone who thinks modest mouse is better now than they were before good news is a shitty fan. just because the recording quality is better (because theyre famous now) doesnt mean the music is. Their earlier albums are consistent- every song is good. their new albums are trying to be too poppy and half of the songs suck. randomness | Reviewer: natty ------ About the song The World at Large performed by Modest Mouse for some reason, the very first time i listened to this song i was like.. I WANT THIS SONG IN MY FUNERAL.. a year later, my current boyfriend told me, the first song he heard of modest mouse was WORLD AT LARGE.. and it was driving to one of his frends funeral.. i was tripping when he told me that.. cause he didnt know that was the first song i heard of'em and that i wanted in my funeral.. i totally love MM.. every song describes me at some point.. awesome band! lots of people | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Baby Blue Sedan performed by Modest Mouse talk about how it's so sad and they can relate to the disconnection of a relationship. all isaac's lyrics are about irony and paradoxes. in this song, he means nothing more than to convey the importance of not always relying on so many stimuli and other people to keep you happy. Classy Plastic Lumber | Reviewer: Steven Hawk ------ About the song Classy Plastic Lumber performed by Modest Mouse Ok so im a huge modest mouse fan and i just got their CD "Sad Sappy Sucker" Which this song is off of and honestly this is one of the best songs i have ever heard. Issac Brock(singer) has just compleated the perfect melodic lyrics to the most perfect song ever created. If your planning to get this album but your not sure about it get it just for this song. if you need other advise on modest mouse songs message me Beautiful | Reviewer: Allison ------ About the song Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In (Positive/Negative) performed by Modest Mouse The first time I listened to this song, it sounded so nice. I think it's about this lonely guy that is missing someone terribly and can't think straight without them. And every time he has doubts ("breathing out"), that special someone is taking it all in for him ("breathing it in"), and reassuring him that there's nothing to worry about, and that everything will be okay. my opinion | Reviewer: Laura ------ About artist/band Modest Mouse I think that modest mouse is a really great band. I would have never heard them if it wasn't for my brother, he stole all my CD's and my ipod had broken. So the only CD i had was 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News" without a radio, ipod or other CDs it's all i listend to for about 3 monthes. In the beginning, it was just noise. But it grew on me so incredibly much. And the lyrics inspired me so much too. You don't quite understand the song untill you really listen, you peice it together. I have tremdous respect for this band. The members are all wonderful artists. I'm sure each equally. And thank you to them, in a lot of slightly random ways, many songs helped me though an akward stage of depression. what helps? | Reviewer: Lauren ------ About the song Baby Blue Sedan performed by Modest Mouse Poignant or shmoignant...there is no true lesson on love here,,, this is just another way that modest mouse's lyrics attack life...embrace the sadness that comes along with having to know so much, endure so much in this short time....dealing with corporate bullshit, trying to understand the fundamentals.....listening to modest mouse takes you on a head trip that is hard to come by these days......"Henri you dance like a wooden indian............................" your mother | Reviewer: skergerberger ------ About the song Bury Me With It performed by Modest Mouse i love this song, the rusted awkwardness fits the lyrics perfectly :) just my 2 cents, it's about being attached to trivial bullshit, and letting that decelerate your life. also, all you talking about emoes and indie music and mainstream music and all that are dickbutts. MM fan99 | Reviewer: craig ------ About the song The World at Large performed by Modest Mouse umm, you are clearly retarded if you think this song isn't depressing. Because the lyrics are right in front of you. if you can't understand the genius of Isaac Brocks lyrics, dont comment about shit you don't know. i love it | Reviewer: squirrly ------ About the song Doin' The Cockroach performed by Modest Mouse this song is one of my favorites from them it took a while but it definately grew on me its one of those songs that you must have patience for you have to be able to see the natural rythm to it the building up of energy and emotions throughout the length of the song.. one that will surely get you excited i changed "of" to "for" on the first line | Reviewer: Brandon ------ About the song Custom Concern performed by Modest Mouse The custom concern for the people is Build up monuments and steeples To wear out our eyes I get up just about noon My head sends a message for me to reach for my shoes and then walk Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job Goes through the parking lot fields Didn't see no signs that they would yield And then thought, this'll never end This'll never end, this'll never stop Message read on the bathroom wall Said, "I don't feel at all like I fall." And we're losing all touch, losing all touch Building a desert Modest Mouse Rocks!!! | Reviewer: Guess Who? "Two Sisters" ------ About artist/band Modest Mouse Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that you guys ROCK!!! My sister and I are be seeing you in Chicago with REM. We like REM, but we love you guys. If you weren't opening, we wouldn't of bought the tickets. I can't wait til June 6, 2008. One of the greats | Reviewer: Repstock ------ About the song Trailer Trash performed by Modest Mouse Genuinely moving and passionate and beautiful. Certainly one of MM's greatest songs but also just one of the best songs in general. "With your teeth, your lips and your head to the ground... You hear the fish, they're making this sound... Saying, "We just wanna go walk around... And feel what it's like to fall down!" Glad to see others loving this so much as well... | Reviewer: Forest ------ About the song Dramamine performed by Modest Mouse Years ago, this came up on my ipod for the first time while driving down a long stretch of high-desert highway. I was on the way home after a perfect road trip with the wife. It was warm, but cloudy and when this song came on my mind just freaking shut off. It took everything I had not to break down. This song is so painfully perfect. Now, that wife, is my ex-wife. I threw this song on just now and realized I didn't know the words to two of the lines "And that you'd killed the better part of me - If you could just milk it for everything" Now that i know the lines, this song is haunting me again. So absolutely beautiful. so long ago | Reviewer: veritas ------ About the song Float On performed by Modest Mouse i heard this song so long ago, and i was like "that's a pretty nice song" and then years later i heard dashboard and i heard it was by a band called modest mouse and i was like "hey, didn't they do Float On?" and i thought Dashboard was awesome and i started loving the band, and that took me as far back as The Moon and Antarctica, which is also pretty sweet. I consider Modest Mouse the essence of all real/good Alternative music, but it takes a rather refined taste in Alternative to fully appreciate them Passion rules the arrow that flies... | Reviewer: Repstock ------ About the song Head South performed by Modest Mouse As an overall song, lyrically and musically, having a distinct identity apart from many of the other songs from "This Is A Long Drive...", Head South seems truly origignal in that way. All the songs are excellent, this just has a kinda Hawiian Musicesque, surfboard rocker appeal. I don't know what I am saying, they all have distinct impressions, Tundra/Desert captures the feelings of social alientation amazingly, Lounge is etheral and blissfull and also loud and abrasive. I guess when you explore their music this much, each song separates itself from the album and you start ot have visual impressions for each of them. Not just the album as one idea, each song within the album as a separate idea as well. Ideas about the songs you have start to spring up and evolve into something else. Head South creates a world within my mind of life if life were to be played to this song. The reality within the song. You can go to these songs in a way, to go to different places/or worlds in your mind; where you're somebody else for a change and the possibilites of the unknown start to show.
