Supposedly Johnny Marr has joined Modest Mouse. How cool is that?
http://www.thetripwire.com/news/2006/8/ … dest-mouseYeah strange.I can`t see how he`ll fit in but he`ll give them a different edge with the lead playing.
Thats really cool news. I’m really excited for the new record, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed it was better than Good News.
My favorite so far was the moon and antactica, followed by the lonesome crowded west. The last one was cool, I usually stop listening when the bands I like start getting commercially successfull. Not sure why, I guess their not indie enough for me anymore once that happens. I still think Johnny Marr joining the band is way cool and can’t wait to hear the new stuff.
Yeah, M&A is close to larger than life, but I still think good news is a great record. And I guess I´m fortunate for living in norway, no chance of modest mouse crawling out of the indie booth. Though I must say that great music is great music, no matter how many units they shift.
If an artist I like suddenly sells a silly amount of records I would be thrilled on his/hers/their behalf. Indie is in the heart, not in statistics.I hear ya. I should be happy for hometown guys who make it. And I am, like I said I can’t wait to hear the new stuff with Johnny Marr.
I don’t care that that album was where they really grew in popularity and had a hit song, that’s great for them. I just didn’t think Good News was as strong an album as, well, most of their other ones. Maybe it’s an unrealistic expectation to want them to make an album as good as The Lonesome Crowded West or Moon and Antarctica, I don’t know. The last album was good enough for me to be curious for the next one, at least.
