Not that it matters to me but just for the hell of it I looked up both songs and The Cranberries came out with the album "Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We" in 1993. Modest Mouse came out with there album with "Bankrupt on Selling" in 1997. >> ^JiggaJonson:

That sounds suspiciously similar to "Bankrupt on Selling"

Probably just a commonly used strum; tho, if not, it'd be Modest Mouse lifting it off of the Cranberries since Lonesome Crowded West came out 4 years after Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?



On a side note The Smashing Pumpkins song "Disarm" is very similar in chord structure to the Cranberries "Zombie".

I'll get the ball rolling with one of my favorite albums "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" by Modest Mouse.

I picked this album for this list specifically because I think this album shows a wide range of the sounds the band is capable of. There are other albums they have that are a bit more on the morose/twangy sounding spectrum that I enjoy more; but intermingled in each of those albums is a variety of songs that seem more like experimental tracks rather than part of the collective piece of work. This album of theirs, I think, represents their best mosaic where every track still fits snugly together and doesn't fight for control. It's a pretty safe album for me in terms of "I need music just pick something already!" So I hope you enjoy!

I hate to say this, but apparently somebody has to.

When it comes to cunts and pricks, dicks and assholes, flesh eating wounds...

When it comes to boobs and breasts and Borneo tribesmen with their balls in wheelbarrows...

When it comes to that certain smell that you know ain't right but you do it anyway....

Alas, let's not forget the simple fact that you were so desperate for love that you fucked somebody ugly.

I personally consider it an honor, if not a duty, that my good friend...Bea...take the bull by its horn.

And show them all....

And if I may digress....

You fuckwad "Modest Mouse" quoters want to know what the fuck is going on?

Bukowski took something that was ugly and painful...and made it something beautiful.

Just like Bea.

Modest Mouse: Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be, a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Griff Jenkins is such a weasel. I always think of that Modest Mouse song when I see him: "Gonna hit you on the face gonna punch you in your
glasses. Oh no!"

Great stuff, but I don't really think Modest Mouse are * obscure.

I would call this *dark, though.

The indie rock band Modest Mouse is getting the royal treatment from Bent Image Lab’s new director/partner Nando Costa. Just completed, the band’s new music video is a dark and expressive piece of film-making. Heavily rooted in live-action, the impressive six-minute video includes intense moments of stop motion, visual effects, and motion graphics techniques, all brought to life within the studio’s walls.

The visuals follow an artist who enters his personal sanctuary where he is presented with a hand-crafted drawing tool that assists him in materializing his mental impressions. Through drawing circular patterns, the machine discharges an endless web of yarn that guides him through his visual representations of his memories. The story progresses to reveal that he is divided between two worlds, one of dull reality and the second of warped memories. In the process of finding a way out of his consciousness, he is trapped between the two competing spaces, which eventually inflict lethal damage, acting as metaphors to self-destruction.

This lyrical and moving piece was conceived by Nando Costa working closely with lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock to polish some of the film's intricacies. Featuring a seamless combination of live-action and stop motion that alternates between stage shots of Modest Mouse and a spiraling dream-like world of ever-shifting landscapes, Whale Song is a stunning representation of the combined capabilities of Nando and Bent. The variety and execution of the VFX portions of the video – from yarn reeling into complex patterns to a guitar that plays with no musician attached – strongly evoke the confused and surreal patterns of one's warped memories. Additional creative touches such as animated and intricate photographic collages and giant CG snails sliding across the band's stage – add variety and depth to the surreal world.

To bad the real post-apocalyptic world won't have any oil so it won't be nearly this hilarious
