Modest Mouse release tomorrow.

[jkeisenh]

Just wanted to share my excitement (*bounce bounce bounce*) at tomorrow morning's release of the new Modest Mouse album... anyone have it yet?
 
 I tried to talk a shop-that-will-not-be-named into selling me one yesterday, but they were really jerks about it and wouldn't.  Acted like I was asking them to saw a limb off.

I got my copy Saturday, listening now.  It is good.  They played Float On off of it shortly before Death Cab came on the other night.

I found it really bizzare that there was a commercial advertizing the new album during the Red Sox/O's game on ESPN2 last night. Not really the demographic that listens to MM...or so I thought.
 
 Any bets as to when a modest mouse reference occurs on the OC?

Has anyone noticed that a close listen to Float on, reveals that it would fit in perfectly on the stellastarr* album?
 
 Are any of the other songs on the album as catchy as float on?
 
 (I downloaded Float on for free thanks to pepsi and itunes)

Based on who was wearing band t-shirts for Modest Mouse at Bumbershoot, I would say the typical Modest Mouse fan is a 13 year old girl.

eh-hem.  Half of us 13-year-old-grrls turned 14 over the course of the winter and we don't like being pigeonholed that way.

their last album before this was in 2000, I don't think 9 year olds were listening to modest mouse

I would have thunk that turning 14 would have turned you into a Ben Kweller fan. Leave Modest Mouse to the 13 year olds!

Woah... has anyone been to the Modest Mouse website lately?  That scary, creepy, bleeding Grover-like thing is sure to show up in the nightmares of the 13-year old girls...  perhaps it's the scarecrow they've come up with to help force a more mature audience?
 
 Eep.  I'm scared.

[godsshoeshine]

Any opinions? Anyone?

Modest Mouse in Lollapalooza 2004.  Wow, that ought to be a let down.
