Modest Mouse release tomorrow.

OK, that does it, I've had it with bands doing this to me.
 
 And to get even, anyone who wants to burn a copy of it after I get it tomorrow, let me know.  I'm not interested in financing espn2 ads or supporting a bestseller.

Markie, from the review brennser so helpfully pointed out:
 
 The first single, "Float On," is one of the most charming of the year, a positive-thinking sing-along that still rocks out. "All right, don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy, we'll all float on," Brock sings over what may be Modest Mouse's most memorable guitar riff. The song is already starting to get airplay on alternative stations, even though it doesn't really sound like anything else on the air.
 
 That could be said for pretty much all of "Good News," though.

all the indie kids love baseball. . .it was great watching baseball again.
 
 btw, for the first time, i might actually root for the o's this year. . .mainly because tejada is one of my favourite players (stupid oakland).

Yea I read it. He posted after I asked. It sounds like stellastarr* to me. I was hoping for an opinion from someone here. I find them more reliable, give or take their character flaws, than reviewers.

[jkeisenh]

yup, and i burned thier last album as well.  
 no worries, though-- the money otherwise spent on corporate records will go to indies or to shows, of course.

but if you really want to screw a big corporation go buy it at best buy for that low price and don't make any other purchases. new released cds are sold at lost at best buy etc, in order to get you in the store to buy something that makes them money (computer, tv, etc).  
 
 soundgarden has said in the past they actually buy new cds at best buy because they are cheaper there than having to go through a distributor.

 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)

yes. ocean breathes salty is even better, i think. i am horribly biased, obviously a huge mm fan.
 
 someone told me they saw modest mouse in a big venue in boston, and they were so bad it made him cry. hear better things about club shows, though.

it was a while ago now, but they were great last time at the black cat, well they were great until Isaac was too intoxicated to continue, (they claimed they were stopping because of a broken amp but it was clear Isaac was having a hard time getting the songs out)
 
 did anybody else get the live disc that came with the cd if you ordered online, is from a show in Florida earlier this year, several people yell freebird and Isaac has a rant about why they will never play freebird, it is amusing

Doing what to you? Signing to a label to get better distribution and marketing? Bastards!

Yes, I agree it is amusing.
 However even though I did receive this bootleg I feel screwed because I could have gotten Good News at Best Buy for $8.  I thought I was getting the good deal.  Damn.

and, lo, Pitchfork said it was good, and so it was good.....
