I got tickets for Modest Mouse.
Chrasstor:
Guys, Modest Mouse are huge sell-outs.
I don't really hate their new material, but I just don't like how mainstream and Ferdinand-y they've become. I would still go see them if they came around here, but that's just because lack of good gigs where I'm at.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is;Modest Mouse doesn't really excite me that much anymore. If there was good locals, or if Krug decided he was gonna play in these parts sometime, I would so hit that shit up before MM. The annoying teenage girls that frequently watch The OC know about Modest Mouse for Christ's sake... I mean, I hate to sound elitist, because I'm really not, but things like that just turn-me off of a band.
Modern Modest Mouse=Franz Ferdinand=WTFSELLOUT
MODIFICATION:. So to speak, Modest Mouse is to Indie-Rock as Blink182 is to Punk Rock.

Bummer. Hopefully you'll be able to scalp them for a decent price, though.

Camper Van Beethoven opened for Modest Mouse. Camper Van Beethoven reunited and opened for Modest Mouse.
Camper... Van... Beethoven... opened... for... Modest... Mouse...
That... dear God.
That's like... Talking Heads reuniting and opening for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
It is exactly like that.
That is so depressing.
PS - I fail to see how it is not hilarious and awesome that people at a MM show were yelling for Smiths songs. That's what I'd be doing!
JimmyJazz:
I actualled liked Good News..., but We Were Dead... dissapointed me. To me, the latter record is their true "sellout" record. (If you even wanna call it that, I think the term's stupid anyway.) It seems like Modest Mouse were trying to advance the sound of GNFPWLBN while still making it more commercial, but instead it was just rather formulaic of their older material. Johnny Marr's playing on the album helps a bit, but I still think he and the rest of the band feel restrained. It's not that i's a BAD record; it's just not a good one either, in my opinion.
Jackie Blue:
It seems to me like Modest Mouse has been steadily trying to remove the few redeeming qualities their music had in 1997 for the past 10 years and succeeding admirably.
