Band:Modest mouse

Every single one of their albums has songs that I really like, and songs that I really hate so the waffling factor is pretty big. Not to mention that the only concert of theirs I went to was so unbearable I wanted to swallow a hand grenade. The whole experience consisted of watching Issac Brock dancing around like a drunken version of David Byrne whilst dozens of teenage girls around me shriek about how they want to hump him. I still voted for not crap, however, because I guess I'm just feeling not as much antipathy towards them as I used to.

I like that 'float on' song alright (is it a love song to a turd? if so, one of the best turd love songs ever written).

A recent Entertainment Weekly article (why am I reading EW? Roommate got a free subscription) had them amongst such contemporaries as Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, etc as those that will save rock. God save us all!

i like modest mouse. i like the fact that though they've changed it up a little from album to album, they've still got their own sound that they've remained true to. i like that they've been playing for years, and have released a bunch of albums, and they're now getting into the mainstream, and doing it without commercializing or anything. i like the way isaac plays guitar and sings, both parts sounding totally like HIM. and i think "float on" is a fine song, and a fine example of what's good about this band. i certainly don't like every song of theirs, but there are some truly great ones and a lot of fine ones, and i can forgive the dogs.

NOT CRAP. no waffle.
