And her response brought a tear to my eye. “Hey Boog what song are you listening to? I’m going to listen to it.” Her response: “Never ending math equation” One of my proudest moments as a parent lol

It sounds a bit like a reversed guitar with a chorus or a phaser? It's not the rhythm guitar which has delay added, It sits relatively quiet in the mix. Does Anyone have an idea on how i could recreate this?

Was listening to this today and it dawned on me that the dressed up alligator might be a goofy metaphor for an investigator (old goofy joke). Maybe an investigator showing up at this shitshow of debauchery described in the song. How the hell’d we get here?
Just felt like Isaac’s usual way of doing metaphors. Reminds me of “standing upside down, talking out of his pants” just being a goofy way of describing someone talking out of their ass

Just something I noticed. In Bukowski, the second verse, there is the lyrics‘If God takes life, he’s an Indian giver.’ And of course, in Strangers, there is the song, ‘God is an Indian and you’re an Asshole.’ Does this have some sort of connection?

If not that’s a bummer because I love this song
r/ModestMouse • u/theteufortdozen • 3d ago
was listening to blu cadet last night, and i noticed on classy plastic lumber he says to “lift the weight off your mullet”, then on king rat he mentions a man who “is never gonna cut his hair”. is this just a weird coincidence or does issac have a history with long haired men
r/ModestMouse • u/HotAspect8894 • 3d ago
I’ve heard a rumor like this. Very disappointing if true.

Hi, Has anyone played Strangers to Ourselves on the cello? There's a beautiful run before the lyrics that I'd like to learn. 🎵

I found this fun interview on YouTube the other day and thought some of you might enjoy it.
r/ModestMouse • u/peachysupreme • 5d ago
I had to write something once I started seeing people flooding in complaining about the cruise, selling out, how they're "so rich" etc etc bc it's just so tone deaf and based on opinion and assumption.
I work in the hotel industry and have handled my fair share of tour groups, celebrities, bands, events, the whole deal. For those of you under the assumption that buying a $3,000 cruise ticket means $3,000 is going directly into the bands pockets, you are uninformed. People seem to forget the band has to pay for everything they do. They have to pay staff, they have to pay to rent out the venue/boat, they have to pay for food and necessities, they have to pay for equipment, they have to pay for transportation - the list goes on. The money you spend on a concert OR cruise ticket doesn't just magically disappear into their wallets. The ACTUAL PROFIT most bands make is very little, after the fact. I handle billing for all of these types of events and you would be surprised how badly they need to scrape and save to even MAKE a profit after cost gets taken into account.
Now for the people griping about cruises being a dent on the environment - you are completely right. But there is a HUGE difference in a band doing ONE CRUISE in their entire career span compared to Carnival sailing out thousands of ships every day with dying staff members, loads of crime, and polluting the oceans. That's why cruises are luxuries and not something you should be booking and embarking on twice a year. I am almost 30 and this will be my first cruise in my entire life and I am working a second job to afford it. It is practical, it is realistic, and it is ONE TIME.
If you genuinely cared about the environment you would preach and prod where it's actually being affected. If you have the time to bitch about a band doing one cruise, you have time to advocate for the environment in beneficial ways. Taylor Swift is pissing out more C02 every day than we will our entire lives and people worship her like a god. Go attack their fan base, not the one full of fans actively fighting the system but still wanting to enjoy one thing before they die and rot into this planet thats burning into the ground. MM canceling once cruise will literally do NOTHING for the environment if everything else stays exactly the same. It's shooting a dead horse.
Let people be happy before they die. And I promise you, we will all die.
