We were walking through the wildlife preserve the other day and some wiiiiild Wilco fan had spray painted the word WILCO on a fallen tree with stencils. That there is all you'll ever need to know about Wilco. Base your estimations regarding ticket sales on that.
Yeah, I do have a weird thing with Modest Mouse. I have weird things with bands that I loved as much as I loved Modest Mouse when I was younger (Decemberists, of Montreal). But if only brown were the color their back-catalogs were tinged by their more recent failures. IF ONLY.

I wouldn't put too much stock into last.fm stats. The average Wilco fan doesn't know what that even is, nor do their children.
Boom, two Wilco dad-rock jokes. Rimshot.

Also Modest Mouse's live performances recently have been shit. That Sas'11 show was a glorious fluke. I saw them at Bumbershoot the year before and they couldn't even stand up straight, they were so hammered.
Just like the time I saw Malkmus at the Nepchune after Janet Weiss left the band. He kept trying to play old shit and the drummer kept yelling "I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE STEPHEN" and Malkmus would get pissed and apologize to the crowd and drink more.
Who am I kidding, I loved that show anyway.

And how many of these recent Modest Mouse shows have you seen to give you such an opinion? Or are you just kissing up to HG?

Isaac Brock is not Isaac Brock unless he's hammered. Anything else is just the taint of Marr. If you were disappointed in a Mouse show due to them being trashed, then you don't know what a mouse show should be.

A little of both?
No, but seriously, nearly everyone I've spoken to about Modest Mouse live in the past 5 years has said they've been a complete shitshow live. If you've experienced one of the few where they're sober and coherent, count yourself lucky. It's seldom the case these days.

The last five Modest Mouse shows I've seen have been spectacular. I missed a sixth show to see Ween in Bend instead, but my somewhat coherent live critic friend said it was amazing. The general consensus of how Modest Mouse sucks live was more pre 2009. Brock has been mostly sober since then. I've seen some fucking terrible Modest Mouse shows in my days, but none since 2009. I wonder who was the most fucked up during your Bumbershoot experience?

Malkmus may be a bitch but I really like that bitch. I was at that Nepchune show and it was really good. Not as good as when Janet was in the group though.

I don't get it, but that's my perspective.

I really have no idea where that Drake guess came from.
