    So modest mouse is my favorite band. The first song I heard was Alone Down There on a skate video. I loved it, but it was uncredited. So for a year I didn't know who made this amazing music. Then I started dating a girl who was into a bunch of indie shit I had never heard, and The Moon and Antarctica had come out that year. It is also indelibly etched into my soul. The first song she played for me was Wild Pack of Family Dogs, which I loved. Then I heard the song from the skate video again and everything clicked.

    My favorite album though is The Lonesome Crowded West.

    I've tried so hard to like Modest Mouse, but they just don't do it for me and I don't know why.

    Yeah, I've listened to almost everything they've released. They seem like a band I should love. I dunno..

    I'm drawn in by the authenticity of their early music, the pure emotion, and the sometimes enigmatic lyrics. Being a punk kid when I heard them, I was attracted to Isaac Brock's raw vocals even though the music was in general much less aggressive than what I was typically listening to then.

    These days I mostly listen to hiphop so it's been a journey. Modest mouse is still my favorite. They represent a time in my life when I was first learning to be my authentic self.
