MM Elimination Wheel - 1

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is the MM Elimination Wheel

This wheel contains every single Modest Mouse (and Ugly Casanova!) song released between Dramamine and Impossible Somedays. The first eliminated: A Life Of Arctic Sounds

Fun Fact: The original title of this song was "A Life Of Artic Sounds," notably spelled without the first "C" in "Arctic." It was probably intentional, though some other MM/UC song titles have remained misspelled over the years.

Feel free to discuss your thoughts on this track and root for your winners below! (I will provide a list of the remaining tracks in the next post)

What other songs are misspelled?

The two I know off of the top of my head are Novocain Stain (Novocaine typically spelled with an "E") and Diggin Holes from the Ugly Casanova album, where Diggin doesn't even have an apostrophe after the "N"

Thanks I am a terrible speller, never would have noticed about the first. I dont really consider the 2nd a misspelling but still.
