Modest Mouse

A friend turned me on to them and I'm glad he did. He lent me two of the band's albums, Good News for People Who Love Bad News and The Moon & Antarctica. Color me surprised when I recognized a track off Good News that I Rock Band drum to all the time, Float On.

I like the band so much, I recently picked up their latest album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Ever Sunk, a title I hope doesn't apply to the American citizenry and the current economic crisis.
