< if you wanna complain about them signing to epic listen to the above songs
&
try to tell me they're not worthy of all the success in the world! almost
all "indie" labels get major label distribution when it comes to getting on
the shelves of yr local record store............... if you like it...listen.
modest mouse is not yours to hide....

BULLFUCKINGSHIT. I listen to indie music because it lets me connect with
the artist in a way that is IMPOSSIBLE when every single person knows every
single line of every single song they've ever written. I think it rocks
when i find someone who listens to modest mouse and get in a great
conversation about how much theyve changed my life because of that
connection. When its not indie, it loses its gravity, loses the very stuff
that makes it worth my time to listen to. There are a billion bands out
there, all playing and saying basically the same thing, what makes one
different from the other is YOUR perception of them based on factors which
are both superfluous to the music and not normally based on any type of
reason. Whatever you want to call it, Modest mouse is and always will be a
thousand times better when that connection is a personal one. Dont forget
why they started going underground in the first place.

im really not sure if you meant it to sound this way, but you give the
impression that modest mouse is yours, and yours alone. you also seem to
imply that if music doesnt fall under your "indie" category, its
automatically crap. i'd rethink that, because your statemeny on "indie"
doesn't make it sound like you connect with the bands, it just makes you
sound pretentious
