This is exactly the kind of Modest Mouse songs I like. Minor-key and wandering, with no particular focus on the vocals.

ya, the heart cooks brain line is really good. he's gotta be one of my favorite song writers.

oh there are many many other examples as well. I've said plenty of times (to people who dont really understand or agree w/ me) that modest mouse has some of the best lyrics ever written. If they are not spot on w/ dead seriousness they are hilariously sarcastic and almost always very right.

"such a classic excuse it should be bronze by now" - broke

"some times all I really want to feel is love, some times I'm angry that I feel so angry. sometimes my feelings get in the way, of what I really feel I needed to say" - edit the sad parts

"my brains the burger and my hearts the coal... my brains the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs... my brains the cliff and my heart's the bitter buffalo" - heart cooks brain

"everyones a building burning, with no one to put the fire out, standing on the window looking out, waiting for time to burn us down" - blame it on the tetons

I'm gonna stop there because I could go on for a long long time. And I know im gonna think of one later I should've put in there but you get the point im sure :-P

Issac Brock's got some great lines, that's one of my favs. also: "i'm on a road shaped like a figure 8, i'm going nowhere but i'm guaranteed to be late"

I think this video should be called "watch jessica alba watch you" :-P

reminds me of the modest mouse lyrics:
"everyones a voyeurist they're watching me watch them watch me right now"

I <3 Modest Mouse. Insta up-vote from me :-) That said This is a wonderful video. Great job by someonebody!

Once you declare a video * dead you have to wait 48 hours before someone beside the original poster can fix it. If the original poster does not fix it in that time frame then it goes to the Dead Pool. Once it's there there's a link you can click that says "fix video embed code". That is where you can replace the bad one with the good one. Because you had just declared it * dead you wouldn't be able to fix it immediately.

Don't worry; I just fixed it. Thanks anyway!

I wanted to fix this one, but I still can't figure out how to bring them back from the dead. How do you do it?

Definitely a good tune with great visuals. Don't know about white-stripish, maybe modest mouse-ish.
