Modest Mouse Reviewed — at LAist
For those of you waiting to hear me spew about the new Modest Mouse rekkid I just let a load off over at LAist. Enjoy!
Modest Mouse Does it Again
Pick it up now. I’m still in review mode on this, but, it has me flashing back to Pitchfork’s 2000 laying down the gauntlet with the death-wish branding 9.8 rating (on the heel’s of Kid A‘s death-defying 10.0) on Moon and Antarctica back in 2000.
They’ve moved on, and keep moving up.

Support Defective by Design, buy t-shirts, stickers.
Shirts & stickers at Downhill Battle (if you run into me, I’ve got a bunch of extra “I took music back and it worked” stickers)
Buy CDs directly from the band at their concerts — perhaps if they’re independent, they benefit most from these transactions and don’t have to give 14 of your 15 bucks to the man.
Donate your original music to the Commons, and take advantage of what’s there — alot of good shit!
