awhile ago i read an article on MM, i guess it was not too long after 'long
drive' came out, and they started getting press... i guess being that MM have
sort of a unique sound, the press was trying to peg them and compare their
sound, etc.
...anyways, isaac mentioned he really dug the talking heads, and the pixies.
and its true, in the late 70s/80s there was the talking heads, then in the
late 80s/early 90s there was the pixies. and now we've got modest mouse.
yeah, all three are completey unique bands, but the thread is there.
so basically if you like MM, youd probably like the pixies. and if you like
both MM and the pixies, chances are youll dig the talking heads, especially
their earlier stuff/especially "MORE SONGS ABOUT BUILDINGS AND FOOD". i dont
know, there really arent any hits on this album, ya know, all the talking
heads songs everyone knows, buts its my favorite.
but yeah, everyone should buy that album, if you can find it, get it used on
vinyl, cos it has one of the best covers ever, its a million(exaggeration)
polaroids of the band members peiced together.
well, thats my vote for "essential listening for MM fans".
