    DB -- you're a Smith's fan, right? You know Johnny Marr now plays lead for Modest Mouse?

    I'm stoked as well
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Fawk! No i didn't know that ZB2000. I knew there was something good about Modest Mouse, but I couldn't put my finger on it exactly. and wham.. there you go.. Johnny Marr is the link. Way cool.

    thanks man for the info. :D

    I've been a Modest Mouse fan for ages... I've been a Smiths fan for even longer.

    When this news hit, I was riding high for weeks. I couldn't have wished for a better collaboration... (except maybe Marr and the Moz:D )

    Modest Mouse is really ifffy live. Sometimes they sound phenomenal and other times they sound like garbage. It really has to do with how much liquid courage Brock and the rest of the boys have chosen to taken in pre-show.

    They also used to like to **** a lot rather than play the songs as people know them from their CD. I'm sure that changed when they got all contractural with Sony/Epic. :cool:

    I've seen Isaac Brock so shat-faced on stage that he could barely stand-up. This is a band that has never denied their addictions. It makes for great song-writing. Performances, on the other hand...

    I recently read this interview (which is pretty funny, btw) about Brock "cleaning up" and not partying as much...then a few days later he cuts himself up in South Dakota. Good stuff.

    don't rock stars know that to much partying kills a person's career? or at the very least makes you look like Keith Richards, who is legally dead. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :p:D

    Well Brock has pretty much doubled in size since the band started.

    the days of muscian's staying up for days and doing drugs and drinking is so 1970's... if a bad truely wants to be successful now, they have to stay somewhat clean and give up some of that shite. seriously, how much would it suck if Modest Mouse made it big, then a year later blow their career because of to much partying. I doubt Johnny Marr is going to stick around if Brock doesn't clean himself up.

    I agree... but then again Brock is the exact opposite of Morrissey. So maybe there's a connection.

    but Marr is not the partying rock star.. i don't think he ever was that type of musician.

    You're right... Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce were. It does seem a bit destined for failure -- though not creatively.

    The problem is that is how they were doing it for a decade before they ever made it big. Drugs and alcohol is what fuels a lot of these bands, for better or worse.

    Let us know whether you got "Drunk Brock" or "Sober Brock". Both versions are fun in their own right.

    so i ordered a ticket from a guy on Ebay for the Modest Mouse concert which was tonight.. well the tix won't get here till tomorrow. a day AFTER the concert.

    Now i'm trying to get my money back from the seller.. he was suppose to overnight the tix. i bought them on Monday. and it's now Wed night. They were only coming from Portland, OR to Spokane, WA which is only about 300 miles away. overnight should have been here in time. but no.. now I gotta see if he's willing to work with me and refund the tix. UGH!!! :mad::mad::mad:
