Yeah I've been a fan for about 8 years. They are great and finally getting the recognition that they deserve. Funny story. I overheard this guy talking to some people about music. He was all high and mighty about everthing and he was talking about this "new" band modest mouse. "I really like their sound...for a new band they are not that bad, we'll see if they have what it takes to stay around." He was really lame and trying to impress some people but he just looked like a jackass.

For anyone that likes "Good news...." you should try "the moon and antarctica" its a great album. Probably their best.

Ugly Cassanova, are you Brock?

Anyone else like The Mars Volta?

Yeah, fvckin' awesome group. Best new album I've heard in a while, along with Squarepusher's Ultravisitor
