Shimmering Wang 1 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Haven't really been listening to anything new as of late, if any of you have any good suggestions I'm all ears.I realized that I haven't listened to Modest Mouse in almost 5 months, that's a shame. Therefore, The Moon and Antarctica and The Lonesome Crowded West are being played nonstop.I had to track-bump this thread down. I've been listening to a whole lot of Izzle Bizzle and his gang lately.I have been listening to:"Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks"and"Lonesome Crowded West"The song "Night on the Sun" is probably my favorite Mouse offering, but they've always been in my top 5 all-time bands (below Radiohead and Zeppelin, but ahead of The Who and Jadakiss)Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 ok. i don't mind them.I don't think they're all that sweet, but I don't have the violent anti-Killers reaction to them that most Hipsters do. I think they suffer from classic Popularity Backlash. "They're getting radioplay AND my little sister likes them? I hate them." I'll admit they write a pretty catchy single, I just hate the production levels. Seems like a little too much. But for some reason I have a feeling the production is going to be what MK likes about them. Or something.I've hardly listened to Sam's Town at all.Bottom Line: I can listen to them, and bob my head to the singles with no self-conciousness, but don't have them on my iPod.Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I think you're pretty much spot-on with the popularity backlash thing. I admit that I myself initally shunned them as an overproduced flash in the pan, but after living with those singles off Hot Fuss, I really kind of realized how good some of those songs are. Mr. Brightside is obviously catchy as hell, but I really like 'On Top' and 'Jenny Was a Friend' too. And 'All These Things' is a v v good song. The first album is VERY produced and too calculated for my tastes...Alan Moulder mixed it, so of course it sounds great. I really didn't come around on Hot Fuss until I heard the Jacques LuCont remix of Mr. Brightside, which is probably the best remix ever, imo. It prompted me to revisit the the whole album and give it a fair shake. I've been listening to Sam's Town a lot the past couple of days, and I think there are a few good songs, but it falls a little short. Like Hot Fuss, Side B is really weak. 'Bling' is a fucking awesome song though. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
mk 11 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 oh and btw, joanna newsom's Ys is the best album of 2006. holy jeez. Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmering Wang 1 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 oh and btw, joanna newsom's Ys is the best album of 2006. holy jeez.Yeah, I don't know much about music, but I like to think I can generally tell the difference between "decent" and "crappy."I think it's safe to say that "Ys" is superbly, superbly decent. I feel kinda gay listening to a harpist. Which is a bonus.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
