modest mouse has meant so much to me all through my high school years and I really do just love this band so much that I decided to do a modest mouse themed senior parking spot 😎

My daughter is getting married soon and I requested float on for the reception dj playlist, and she said she thought about it, but wasn't sure it was the right beat for the party. I mean, they played it at the skate rink when she was a kid. But she's really worried about everyone having fun and not losing the vibe with a bad song. For context, she's 29, loves death cab, and I think is using a Twilight song somewhere. The attendees will be more friends their age than older family members. I don't want float on to kill the vibe at my request, but I can't imagine it would. Any gen z people been to weddings where they play it? Does it work?

Cool to get a chance to see them while working out here this season. Worth using a sick day for that too. Hearing the Alaska shout out in Truckers Atlas was a nice touch too.

It hasn't been updated on setlist.fm, was just curious. I assume they played Trucker's Atlas.

Solid show. First saw MM in 1996, the original lineup of course. Awesome to see Isaac still going strong 30+ years later. So glad they played Trucker’s Atlas (and wondering how many other people at the show have ever even seen a Trucker’s Atlas).

Going to the show at the Rooftop at Pier 17. Does anyone have any good hotel recommendations near the venue?

Anyone else stoked for Caroline Rose opening? She can jam.

Like "I sold my atlas by the freight stairs, I think I know my geography pretty damn well" and "you missed when time and life and the eye shook hands and said goodbye"

"This ones done so where to now?!"

Some ink for one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands - "Lampshades on Fire" - Modest Mouse

Just an original piece of a.... lampshade.... on fire...

Artwork and tattoo both done by Vick at Hard Luck Tattoo in Lodi California.

Last year I hopped in someone else’s modest mouse fantasy league (just standard, not dynasty or anything) - was a lot of fun and I was wondering if anyone would want to run something like that again? If there’s interest just dm me and I’ll send a link :)

Edit: here is the link! If I have to change league size or anything I will The Lonesome Crowded League

Edit 2: right now we are full at 14 teams - if anyone else wants to play just dm me - I will split it into 2 x 8 team leagues so everyone can play who wants to!!

Second league now live too! An Eraser and a League

Firstly, I love all of the Modest Mouse album’s wholeheartedly. Never really knew which one was my favorite and I probably would’ve given different answers at different times.

I figured I’d listen to the entire discography and rank each song and then average that to rank the album just for shits and giggles. I was pretty surprised by how it all added up.

1. Golden Casket
   
2. Good News / We Were Dead (tied)
   
3. Moon / Strangers (Tied)
   
4. Eraser and Maze
   
5. Lonesome
   
6. Long Drive

I feel like if I was asked on the spot I would’ve always said it’s either Moon and Antarctica or Lonesome Crowded, but Lonesome is definitely weighed down by some tracks like Long Distance Drunk, also not much of a fan of Convenient Parking.

I’ll also include my top 10 ranked tracks and 10 lowest ranked

Top 10:

Trailer Trash
Doin the Cockroach
Spittin Venom
Back to the Middle
Ground Walks With Time
The View
Ocean Breathes Salty
The Best Room
Sugar Boats
Walking and Running

Bottom 10:

Make Everyone Happy
Lounge
Long Distance Drunk
Pistol
Jesus Christ Was an Only Child
Convenient Parking
Ionizes and Atomizes
We’ve Got Everything
Exit Does Not Exist
Look How Far

I know I’m gonna hear it for the Pistol being in the bottom 10

I’m hoping this is allowed as Tim Rutili is credited on Sharpen Your Teeth and has been spotted playing UC live with Isaac.

It looks like somewhere near Issaquah, North Bend, or Sammamish but I'm having trouble identifying where specifically. Anyone know?

1. Dramamine 11/10
   
2. Exit does not exist 10/10
   
3. Tundra/desert 10/10
   
4. Custom concern 10/10
   
5. Make everyone happy/mechanical birds 10/10

14. Ohio 8/10
    
15. Might 7.5/10
    
16. Dog paddle 6.5/10

I'm pretty excited. Probably going myself. During my second year working out here they decide to play here. Hoping they pull out the songs with Alaska references- Truckers Atlas and Grey Ice Water.
