Title: I'll be the cheese...
Review: One night, sitting drinking plum wine, a little cheap beer we never thought we'd actually buy (desperation kills), a stranger mans the stereo. She replaces the droning background noise with possibly the most incredible band I've listened to since the great days of "real" alternative. Sickened by the pop-culture infusion in all brands and names in the rock world, hearing something new, different and compelling drove me inside, away from the crowd, to sit in silence in front of the speaker. It drove me, it pulled me, the words richocheted around in my brain, spelling out memories, thoughts, dreams... allowing my mind to float around and still be so tied to my spirit that I knew I had to own it. Modest Mouse has impressed upon me their infinite talent - I know what the MM pixie meant when she said she didn't want anyone to know about them. Popularity still has the word "pop" in it. I'm down - the beauty of this lyrical, musical genius has magically captured me....
