The concert. Man i’m in an amazingly good mood for not getting much sleep. <\/p>\n
In short Modest Mouse is a Lyrically based band.. Wherever the lyrics are found music is usually accompanied it… and when no lyrics are had the music vanishes also…<\/p>\n
I did learn one interesting factoid. Their unique sound comes from the immersion of various instruments into play at different times.. there are an insane amount of different instruments in their album an they are all played by one man. The problem is that like my brother pointed out, the guy kept having to leave the band because their old albums were apparently boring. All of their old songs were insanely boring. Three guitars two drummers…. blah…. <\/p>\n
Their new songs were given such life with the new instruments (cello {or stand up base}, [as was pointed out has no h whatsoever due to it’s italian origins] violin, some kind of instrument you play off of your lap with strings, and a mysterious box with an instrument inside could have been a tiny piano or something else.. no clue.) that when they brought out the old songs they looked like a garage band. In fact the whole concert was enacted like a bar-room band. They did that encore shit which i’m against completely since Wilco denied it’s existence. We are all not idiots.. play the f-ing show.<\/p>\n
As for the driving to houston and back, It was an absolute pleasure. It was also nice of Amanda to let us use her car. I would have had problems driving back by myself i realize. I would have done it but it would have been hard.<\/p>\n
And with that, c’est la vie. <\/p>\n
