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.

taped to the cd.

and i forget what the other was... all in that pale green
and pink

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

this album ROCKS. it's a different beast altogether, far
poppier than anything they've done before.

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.
