Modest Mouse Poll
just download the entire album and burn it, if you're not sure
Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Umm. Download the album and give it a few listens.
Modest Mouse is a band that grows on you. Odds are, the two songs you don't like will end up being your favorite songs (unless one of them happens to be Dance Hall) in a few weeks.
But yeah, download it first. That's your safest bet.
And on top of that, if you're going to buy a Modest Mouse record, get The Moon & Anarctica or The Lonesome Crowded West. Why? I don't know, I just like them better.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
I'm downloading the rest of the album now. I'm not sure if those old ones will be available over here - so I might be stuck with the new one for now if I do decide I like it.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I didn't like you that much either. But now I find you kinda humorous.

don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Yeah, well hell froze over. Modest Mouse has officially sold over 1million copies of "Good News For People That Love Bad News."
