Title: Modest Mouse
Post by: Alecs on June 13, 2004, 06:52:57 am
I've had these guys' older cd's for awhile but they finally made it with their new cd. The video is great. It almost reminds me of a very happy "Talking Heads" song. They are on tour for Lollapalooza this year as well. That means they scored! :wink:

I've heard most of the new cd. Their other cd's sound kinda like "The Cure" punkish. I guess because of the vocals which is why I think they sound so much like "The Talking Heads" so much. 80's, 80's, 80's...

yep
My friend who introduced me to them 2 years ago liked them because he is as big of a cure fan as I am.

No.  They just sound dead up like the cure.  So much so that I thought Float On was an old Cure song and I was wondering why they were playing it on a top 20 station.

This is double-plus untrue.

Have you listened to OLD cure or just new Cure?

If you threw Friday on Good News it would fit right in.
