I like Modest Mouse. I'm our biggest fan. And enemy. I won't waste people's time by putting out a Modest Mouse record just because. That's fair, right?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really had a great time working with 'Modest Mouse,' just because of the people. I loved writing songs with Isaac Brock, and Jeremiah Green is probably my favorite musician that I've worked with.
All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!
Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
I would rather be the tail of a lion than the head of a mouse.
I write with a mouse, because it has no psychological associations or memories or habits associated with it.
This dapper little mouse that wore such cute clothes and said such interesting things, yeah. I thought it was a great idea to have a mouse like that in your family, so now I get to see what it was like.
I was not a Mouseketeer, but a lot of people think I was.
I made a point when I made the Ugly Casanova record to not write a song and then say, 'This is a Modest Mouse song' or 'This is an Ugly Casanova song.' The people who were open to it not being a Modest Mouse record liked it.
If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice.
Joining Modest Mouse was just consistent with what I used to do as a teenager: I followed where I thought I would make some interesting music.
