Random Music Talk LVIII: The Moon And Antarctica

[mobvok]

The Moon and Antarctica is the third full length release from Modest Mouse

It means quite a bit to me, and I personally believe it's one of the best albums of the 2000s. Just about the right blend of spacey post-punk and direct anger.

No puns or references in the title, sorry.

Fuck's sake, amateur

It's "Fuck's sake, you're amateur."

Fuck's sake, you're amateur.

Friggin' Cobbler.

 

[cobl04]

I was eagerly awaiting yup's "The Second Random Thread Without A Witty Title"

 

[mobvok]

I withstand your criticism and become a better person for it

Spoiler

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it people like me

It's "Fuck's sake, you're amateur."

I knew it didn't sound right

Learn to quote Christian Bale's psychotic on-set rant correctly.

I'm off. G'night.

 

[cobl04]

Apparently Zola Jesus is playing here tomorrow night, and a mate just posted a status asking if anyone was interested. I'm pretty drunk, so he just bought me a ticket. She better be good.

Seriously looking for a vouch here, I can still back out.

 

[Imperor]

Did you miss my epic Zola binge when Conatus came out? Homegirl is the shit, been the shit, fuck a humblebrag.

 

[cobl04]

I witnessed the binge, I remember. Just don't remember much talk about her live show.

Mate got tickets anyway. $44. Swag.

 

[Imperor]

I've seen her twice this year and absolutely loved it both times.

I thought this one was going to be "Seattle Local Newscast" in honor of Cori and Mobvok.

Danny was too busy going DVD-A.

DO IT. I had picked up a ticket to see her do a one-off show at the Guggenheim, then realized I was leaving NY that afternoon and missed it

If nothing else there's bound to be cute goth girls at the show.

 

[Imperor]

Much has been made of Nika's diminutive statute, but it really is interesting to see such a behemoth of a voice coming from such a tiny person.

 

[LemonMelon]

Moon and Antarctica is so good, it even makes this thread title forgivable.

Modest Mouse question: which album is more essential, This Is a Long Drive Yada Yada or We Were Dead Yada Yada? Those are the two I have not heard yet.

 

[bollox]

Most people would say This is a Long Drive, tho I actually prefer We Were Dead. Of course I also prefer Good News to Lonesome Crowded West, so there's that.

And yes, Moon & Antarctica is ridiculously great.

Random Seattle Talk II: Yeah, It's Still Raining

Today's PNW weather may be crummy, but this is what it looked like on Saturday, on the ferry leaving Port Angeles heading for Victoria, BC.

 

[IWasBored]

It rained at some point pretty much every single day for most of April and a good chunk of may here. At one point my housemate and I were outside, wondering when we moved to Seattle.

HEY! It's actually really ni... No, no, wait; you're right, it is still raining.

God damn it, you beat me to it.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Another vote for We Were Dead... "Little Motel" kills me every time.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I remember someone shared the video clip for that song on here a few years back.

Yeah. It made me cry. Great song/video, though.

 

[Reggo]

Hey, RMTers who I'm also Facebook friends with, when I get Impy's vinyl, I'm going to text a status update. If any of you are on there around 10:30 AM MDT on Saturday, will you come in here and make a post to let Impy know? I am woefully sans smartphone. Please and thank you.

PS Is anyone else's facebook acting stupid right now or is it just me?

I actually possess We Were Dead and am quite a fan fwiw.

 

[Imperor]

I'ma be out of commission at this all day Saturday anyway, so there really isn't much of a need for an immediate verdict. Appreciate the thought though.

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm in a very thoughtful mood tonight. I think I'm going to read a bunch of Christopher Hitchens stuff.
