Yeah, I'm really starting to warm up to this album. At first I was unimpressed--it is certainly no Lonesome Crowded West or The Moon and Anarctica--but still, a really solid and interesting endeavor. (I'm also enjoying the new Arcade Fire, which was another one that took me a few listens to begin to appreciate it.)

I LOVE the new Arcade Fire. Now if only the new NIN would hurry up and leak.

Hey MuFu, you don't have a link to the new Chevelle offering do you? It comes out tuesday, I'll be buying it regardless...:D

It leaked 2 weeks ago. I meant to post it but it slipped my mind:

Edit: Link is dead. Here's a streaming version of it till I can find you another link to download it:

Modest Mouse sounds so different ever since they got "big". Usually I don't say that but they really have kind of changed their sound. Everything before Good News was great. Lonesome Crowded West is amazing. I even enjoy most of Sad Sappy Sucker (which is horrible sound quality) but I just can't in to anything they've done recently.

I feel The Moon and Antarctica is right up there with Lonesome Crowded West. Their sound has been different on all their albums, I think. Admittedly, their last two are a lot more accessible maybe and definately not as raw but I still think it's better than anything you'll hear on the radio. I'm a bit biased though as there was a two year period where I listened to nothing but Modest Mouse. I also love Building Nothing out of Something and This is a Long Drive . . .

Did anyone ever listen to 764-Hero? I believe they broke up and a few members went to form Modest Mouse. Or maybe 764 was a side project of MM members. Either way, their music is pretty good.

They did a split ep with Modest Mouse, but I don't think they're related other than that.

A great Isaac Brock side project was Ugly Cassanova, who releaed Sharpen Your Teeth, which is a classic. You should check it out (if you haven't already).

Is anyone going to the Bloc Party show at Dar in June?

I know, a little off topic but I thought I'd ask.

Also, if you haven't already.....check out this year's Virgin Festival lineup. Maybe MM will be there.

I haven't heard of this show, but I'd like to go. I've been trying to get tickets to the Arcade Fire show at DAR but, so far, no luck. I miss all the good shows. The Roots just played there and I missed that too. I'm going to look into the Bloc Party show.

AF tix are going on Ebay for about $150 a pair. If you really want to go, that's what I'd look at spending. So far I haven't made up my mind about this show. I was hoping my girlfriend would surprise me with tix for my birthday but alas, no luck. I got a lathered shave at some grooming salon instead......
