Mixed Feelings
So the new Modest Mouse single has dropped, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I'm entirely excited about it, but the closer the album gets, the more this whole Johnny Marr thing seems like a gimmick. C'mon, they're a band from Issaquah who's fame is too much for them already, but add a key element of the Smiths and that might just be too much to handle. Regardless, it took a while for a lot of people to get in to Modest Mouse before Good News... . I've grown to love it all, even Sad Sappy Sucker and their scratchy demos. If I love such messes as those, I don't think I'll be disappointed with whatever Issac Brock offers up. I admittedly have high expectations for this album, but I think they'll adapt. Here's the first single:
