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 don't actually care about the motels reputation for prostitution and drug dealing (according to Trip Advisor), I don't actually care if 0.625, or 62.5 (most likely, these guys sound probably forgot that you need to multiply by 100 to get a percentage), 625, or 6250 people have been arrested in the last 20 years. Hell, I don't actually care if EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS GUESTS has been arrested.

The point is that this is sloppy policing. If they want to get the guy on negligence, get him on that, if they want to try for aiding and abetting, try for that, but in the absence of actually conviction him of something (or successfully suing him in civil court) this is wrong.

I actually kind of think that the point of the law was the governments equivalent of suing an individual for negligence, but really, it still needs to go through the court because otherwise it's ripe for abuse.

I'm unconvinced that this guy is an angel, but the law still makes me angry, and I support what IJ is trying to do.

This should be in *lies

According to local newspaper 9 people were arrested in four incidents there in one weekend.

.0005% of 125,000 is .625 so in one weekend more people were arrested at the motel than they claim have EVER been arrested there in this video. A quick search of the local paper (http://tewksbury.patch.com/) for "Motel Caswell" turns up dozens of incidents where people have been arrested, just this year.

It sounds like the place is a total drug/prostitution den and the police are tired of coming out there every five minutes to arrest people.

Because of the blatant lies in this video I cannot trust anything else they say.

Assuming this motel is a giant den of iniquity, I get why the local government would want to shut it down. And I could see where the local community might be fine with that. But why wouldn't they just revoke their business license?

Even if the police get the property, they're just going to turn around and sell it. And there is nothing to stop the new owners from re-opening the motel, and operating it in the same way. In that case, there would be no benefit for the community at large - just a giant payday for the police.

This is nuts.

Perhaps some people use religion as a means of control, but that isn't the goal or interest of christians. It is merely to preach the good news of Jesus Christ our Lord. I can't save anyone, that is Gods work. I would call your anger here misplaced and quite irrational. You seem to have extremely strong opinions on Christianity which are not very well researched. Have you ever actually read the bible? If not, how can you hate something you know nothing about?

God, I hate the Bible. It has to be one of the most evil books ever written. I don't have one in my home, and every time I stay in a motel I'm tempted to toss the one that the Jesus freaks always pack in the nightstand.
The only thing worse than the Bible are the Bible beaters, because 90% of them don't want to help you, they just want to control you; they just want to make you feel bad about being a human being who isn't under their control
God knows how many people's lives were ruined by the Bible beaters foisting their ugly, depraved, mean-spirited and ultimately shallow beliefs on folks who were doing just fine until they came along.

You don't know about God any better than anybody else. It's your hubris that annoys me. You do much more harm than good. It is your heart that is deceitful, and desperately wicked. You should reconsider laying your hangups and shortcomings on other people.

Why did Dawkin's cross the street?

Because God said he couldn't.

Do not ever go to the motel 6 in Ogden Utah.

Don't drink 7 diet caffinated beverages and expect to get to sleep in a state where you are not allowed to smoke weed.

Why can I see this guy ending this video, then heading to a bar and getting some hoe to do crack with him in a motel? Of course then he will go back to his "polite" family and beat them saying it is for their own good.

It must be difficult to smear such a likable guy. Someone, get turdgurgler a shot of bourbon! Where has that snowflake been, anyways. That motel rendezvous on the Rio Grande with blankfist must have been a bad idea. I'd expect a Nebraska map with a bulls-eye on it if this place wasn't so overrun by pussy-whipped liberals. What were you expecting, a bunch of IT guys drinking soda pop, playing World of Warcraft, and watching the Daily Show while they wait for their parents to go to bed is not funny. It's pathetic.

Investigators believe Zdzierak likely removed the mask between the robberies in order to confuse the cops who believed they were looking for a black man.

The authorities caught a break when they spotted a Volvo with its interior splattered with red dye from a dye pack slipped into a bag used to hold the stolen money.

Police found Zdzierak hiding in a motel bathroom.

The Last Ten Years

Cape Cod, rough time, always enough money for beer and Chinese food, but little more. Worked for a medical supply company, forty hours of weekly hell. I used to play with the prosthetic boobs when nobody was around. Shake the box and watch them jiggle. Got a dream job as a front desk clerk. No job lets you read and write like a front desk gig at a dinky motel. I had a favorite strip club where my favorite girl used to shoot me in the face with her panties. I pretended I didn't like it. She and I would talk about movies sometimes.

Roswell, tossed a resume in the mail and landed a whale of a job, programming. Great money, shitty people. Suddenly more than enough money for my bar tab, and I needed every cent. Met some friends. A few died, others moved away, the rest I hardly see because they got married, or got DUIs, or decided to quit drinking.

Throughout, I was writing poems. Some winners, some stinkers. Started a few novels that I never finished. I fall in love with my characters, the good ones. They're always very different. Old men, old women, lonely pervs, strippers, loser teens, the underachieving hero, the skeptical professional who finally sees the light.

Got laid off in January, 2007. Totally unexpected. Haven't seen a paycheck since. IRS wants me to give them money I don't have. And the only woman in this town who strikes my fancy is married to one of the coolest guys I know.

I dream of leaving Roswell every day.

Gullible sifters! I could be the joseph fritzl of brazil and you´d be all gooey, "he is so nice."
I´d spit in your roast, but it would likely be enough to put off the roasting fire and you´d never figure out how to make the "magic heat that bites" again. Morons.

Now, mano a mano:

Laura, the BBQ Wolverine image you´ve posted is so bizarre it makes me want to roast myself. Better, to self-immolate. twice.

Thinker247, yeah two favorite memories. In your face, you who can only think of peggedbeas´s dry vagina, Dags waxworks and child molesting. No, that´s three memories. you win.

Blankfist you are a fake. We know you are the picture model for the goatsee and as such you never grunt when taking a dump. or even notice it.

Rougy, we may clean motels now, but we also invented them motels. We did. And your mother was there.

Inflatablevagina, you are so cute trying to be mean, I´ll help you out. Worse than pompous, both of my cats names are bad puns. (Meaow-Tse and the "Laconic" one who would only say "mee" instead of "meaow").So please execrate me as puns are humour´s low-life white trash cousins.

Ornothron, wow, now THERE is some research and effort! Congrats on the trainee who did your job. Having my fraudulent narcisistic ways exposed by a mechanical bird´s apprentice is the moon landing to my neil armstrong. And yes, it is excruciating reading through you people´s comments in order to find even one worth mentioning.

Gwiz, because you like futurama, I won´t mention your excessive concern about my body hair.

Therealblankman, except for choggie all roastees were chosen by god. So if you pray hard maybe He will listen to your high pitched whining.

Haldaug, yes, I masturbate to furry porn. but cmon, you and your wife are so hot!

Peggedbea, those were your titties covered in shit? No wonder it all seemed so normal I didn´t know the roast had even started.

kulpims, you can be the mother of my next daughter.

Choggie, when I said gullible sifters I meant you. Also you should know that when you scream fuck you we hear "good morning"

Don Juan, jump off the bridge, dont jump off the bridge, you guys please make up your mind already so i can mindlessly follow, wtf.

Dotdude, the only place I´d fear a candiru is inside my urethra, whereas spiders are scary everywhere. Also the Amazon River is closer geographically to your new orleans house than mine in sao paulo.

Rottenseed, after I wipe my tears I´ll tell you that at least (or even) blankfist know we speak portuguese, not spanish. And if I was fritzl dressed as santa you´d sit on my lap.

MrFisk, or should I say "imelda marcos", I may lure young single moms to my moms basement but you are the guy who marries them afterwards.

Lann, it was great that you put my two best memories together, thanks. Now someone explain to this "person" what is a roast.

So that is it.
Thanks for the roast, morons!

Now, Laura, you promissed I´d be tied up and filled with herbs.
never fail me again, ok?

and "Mr jester", these pitiful crowdlings dont have enough venom, so please make your dice choose easier prey for the next roast, such as Hitler
(Godwin´s law does not aplly here)

NeuralNoise...that rings a bell...I think I dated his sister.

Don't mind Blankie. Sure as shooting, fame and stardom has gone to his head. At least we can say with certainty that something is finally in his head, other than pornographic images of Ron Paul lying naked, splayed and willing on his davenport.

NeuralNoise, Brazilian? I knew there was something I didn't like about the guy.

Hey Aqui! Aqui! Get back to cleaning that motel room, pronto!

Wage slavery. It's a bitch.

My favorite job in the world is working front desk at a sleepy motel. You get to read, write, and study to your heart's content, and as long as the cash drawer balances, you're usually okay.

Got my first contracting gig last week, and I think it's giving me stomach cramps. I like the people, but the project reminds me of the stuff that you see on the floor when you're house-breaking a litter of pups.

I can't figure out if I should stick it out and learn what I can, or dream up a really plausible lie so that I could bow out gracefully.
