What's your favorite Modest Mouse song?

Post the name of your favorite modest mouse song... My vote is on Styrofoam boots. It's all nice on ice, allright.

I haven't heard anything by them besides their album Good News For People That Like Bad News. Sorry, man. I tried to get some of their earlier stuff through torrents, but no one seeds those dang things.

But, my definite favorite from that album has to be The World At Large. I just think it is so peaceful, and I wish I could be like him. Just being a nomad. ::sigh::

[crudemood]

definately float on. :)

[OptimusPrime]

there newest album Good News for People Who Love Bad News isn't nearly as good as their older albums. I'm glad you've included more songs from their older albums, but i don't think i could choose just one. i like all those songs except float on, it's probably my most disliked song. their whole Lonesome Crowded West, This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, and The Moon and Antarctica albums are great; the vocals are so unique and i'm disappointed that in the Good News albums isaac brock sounded not as different he usually does.

some of my favorite songs from each album just to name a few are:
This Is a Long Drive For Someone... album: Dramamine, Beach Side Property, Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset
The Lonesome Crowded West album: Cowboy Dan, Shit Luck, Trailer Trash, Out of Gas
The Moon and Antarctica album: 3rd Planet, Gravity Rides Everything, Tiny City Made of Ashes, Paper Thin Walls
Building Something Out Of Nothing album: Never Ending Math Equasion, Sleepwalking
Everywhere & His Nasty Parlour Tricks: Night on The Sun, You're The Good Things
Good News For People Who Love.. album: Black Cadillacs, Bury Me With It

Too hard to pin one choice.

Shit Luck, Trailer Trash, Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset, Whenever You Breathe You, I Breathe In (Positive Negative)

[BongSmokityDuo]

I don't care much for these modest mouse fellows

[Djurdjevic]

I like 'The World at Large'.

Hey, just because you guys made me wonder what the crap their other music sounds like, I went ahead and bought The Moon and Antarctica today. I'm just listening to it right now, and so far every single song I've heard (allllll4 of them, lol) are effing amazing. I don't know, Custom Concern made me get up and start pretending I have a guitar in my hands, doin the air guitar. lol!

I don't know if I want to say either album is better than the other, its sort of almost like they changed genre's a little. No offense to them, but GNFPWLBN seems much....less rock than this one does. A lot less rock. But, I think they are both very good albums, so far.

The Moon And Antarctica is one of those rare masterpieces. I find more to like everytime I listen to it. GNFPWLBN is good too, and I dont get too bent out of shape at Isaac Brock and co. for "selling out" because he is still a brilliant songwriter and a creative musician, just a little more radio friendly.
BY the way, check out Ugly Casanova, Brock's side project. Brock still sings, but a completely different band from MM.

ALONE DOWN THERE. Awesome song, its kinda trippy if your stoned.

[hahaitsdoogle]

Dramamine is a great song.

[baisez le monde.]

the world at large

[james420]

i love the lyrics to the world at large.

"Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldnâ??t stop.
You donâ??t know where and you donâ??t know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends."

great song

drankin' drankin' drankin' drankin' coka coka coka cola...

[james420]

im so high right now and this thread is making me so happy but all my MM cds are in my car and i dont want to go outside but nowi really want to hear tiny cities made of ashes...i love the bass in that song.

[kingjustin]

The bass in that song is so fuckin trippy...have you listened to the other version at the end of the disc?

[james420]

yeah on the special edition....yeah....but i like the original just a little bit better. the other version is kind of spacier.

[Gothen]

Okay, my new favorite is The Cold Part. I mean, the lyrics aren't terribly deep, or very many in number, but I think it is such a beautiful song. It really is hitting deep right now with me. It just flows, ya know? When I play it, I feel like I'm on some glacier in Antarctica, all alone with a dark, grey sky above me and I'm just shivering in the below freezing winds watching the icy waters just wash over everything. Fucking amazing....

[TMBGoofball]

I only have Good News For People Who Love Bad News (sorry). But I think my favorite songs on there are Satin In A Coffin, Blame It On The Tetons, and of course The World At Large. The synth part at the end is worth every cent I paid for the CD.

[OrangeKush]

I like 'The World at Large'.

Same here.

[kingjustin]

I'm more partial to the old stuff...more soul.
