I have no idea if this is a stupid comment, but will this be one of the biggest crowds Modest Mouse has played for in a long time? nah not really. I know they headlined a night of pitchfork and played other festivals. only 25k tickets are sold to sasquatch and only probably 15k of those stay for the headliner. Our festival is fairly small

Assuming that them and MSTRKRFT will be playing around the same time, I will probably begin the evening at the main stage. If Brock is being a boring/drunk dumbass, then I'll make way to the Nanner Shack

I definitely want to check MM off my list of bands to see, but I see myself catching maybe 30 minutes of their set and then bouncing into the tent.

Our festival is fairly small I saw them at said Pitchfork set, and though there was a huge crowd there, I think it will still be bigger at Sasquatch (though at Pitchfork there wasn't anyone else playing at the time).

It means that the next logical step for Brock is to license his material to some kind of musical revue so that he can rest on his laurels for the rest of his life and never be required to write another good song. A little late for that. Perhaps not to a musical revue, but for a car commercial. The band licensed "Gravity Rides Everything" for a commercial for Nissan's Quest minivan, a move that Brock has publicly acknowledged as blatantly commercial but necessary to achieve financial stability. I'd embed the video, but I hardly know how to push the button to make the internet thing go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAXdDz98R8E

Nick, I figured you wouldn't be objective enough to even respond in an adult manner, so I'll just pretend you didn't write anything like I always do.

Yes, my name's floated around before. Actually, the last time it happened, someone was angry, too... You know how your mom uses your full name when you're in trouble as a kid? Well, on the Internet, people use your real name. What weirds me out is that this poster remembers it. With that said, I'd generally prefer that people not refer to me as Nick on the board. I much prefer the nickname I've picked up from the word .* Anyway, the reason the analogy fails is because turning your concept album into a stage musical is not even remotely comparable to licensing your song to a car commercial. One of those things happens once every five years or so, the other happens weekly. One of them is awkward and embarrassing, one of them is not. Or at least, it shouldn't be. This isn't 1999 (or whatever) when it was fashionable to ridicule blink-182 for being "sellouts." I didn't think that people gave a shit anymore. It's become so commonplace that it no longer needs defending, with the possible exception of Against Me! For reason of its routine prevalence alone, it can't be compared to a god damn musical. *Just in case I'm not being clear: If people insist on calling me by my real name, I'll modify their posts.

^ Thank you, I-8. I appreciate that.
I'm not knocking on MM, and I apologize for bringing up something that (I didn't realize) was apparently already discussed ad nauseam (the car commercial).
And I also apologize for calling you by that other name.

No sweat. That one was free because you didn't know. I'll spot you a lift sometime in my sweet Nissan.

You better have leather in that Nissan. Modest Mouse didn't sell their souls only to have you get the base model Nissan.
