New Modest mouse album just came out. What do you think? I was a bit thrown by it at first, but it is rapidly growing on me.

So have you heard the album yet or no? If not, be prepared for something completely different from their earlier work.

here's a highlight:
Onion: How did you handle being in jail?
Isaac Brock: When I first showed up, there were people who'd try to make me give them my lunch, and I'd be like, "No, get the fuck away from me!" That worked. The white gangsters were hilarious. I was in a holding cell with three of 'em, and they're all just telling their superthug stories about how they can outrun all the cops. I had no sense of humor, and I was like, "Why don't you guys shut the fuck up? You're in jail. You apparently aren't so hot at outrunning cops." There was this one dude wearing the uniform they give you, and he was like, "All right! These are my new club clothes!" I'm just like, "You are an idiot. Shut the fuck up right now until I leave. This isn't fun!" Here's the rad thing: One of the dudes, this Little Lord Badass, was on the same cellblock as me, and when he'd get on the phone, it'd be, "Dad, you gotta bail me out of here!" It was awesome. Mostly, I just kept low-key. I had some late-40s, freaky, child-molester-looking dude basically say that he was going to rape me. I sat down and played chess with him, and he was making all these creepy comments, so I was like, "Okay, we're done playing this game."

"Are You dead or Are You Sleeping??" I dreamed I died one time and I really believed I was dead because I had always heard that no one will die in a dream and not wake up. I went off of a a cliff in a car and hit the bottom and didn't wake up,;so logically I concluded that I had really died. I remember being extremely intent on what post-death consciousness would entail. However, after waiting a few moments in darkness, I did, in fact, wake up.

no, not their a.v. club -- it's a arts & entertainment review that supplements the satire

another total gem from modest mouse.
the popishness of it threw me way off at first; seemed like isaac had gone sugary on me, but after two or three weeks of repeated listening i'm completely in love with gnfpwlbn.
the deceptively dark, reflective, so-on-point-it-gives-you-chills lyrics are still completely there, they're just hidden under an ironicly springtime production.
