Who rocks out with a harpsichord? Modest Mouse rocks out with a harpsichord!

And a violin, and a trumpet, and an accordian, and a stand-up bass, and a banjo, and--count 'em-- TWO sets of drums.

Pure goodness. :)

1. I really must look into them - I love Johnny Marr

2. how do you think their new album compares to their others?

I think they're getting better and better :D

3. I celebrate their entire catalog.

:D

I think all their albums are awesome.

Lonesome Crowded West will probably always be my favorite.

This is a Long Drive is a little rougher than the others but totally brings it.

Moon and Antarctica I seriously suspect is one of the band's favorites... they played a BUNCH of songs from that album that ROCKED HARD.

Building Nothing Out of Something has a more polished sound than most of their earlier albums, but DAMN that's some good Mouse.

Good News for People Who Love Bad News is a good album but it reminds me of my friend who died so I don't listen to it that much.

The latest... well, we listened to it for a week in Florida, and when I say for a week, I mean FOR A WEEK. So that's got awesome memories. :)

Good times.
