Missed The Boat
Randal commented on my Modest Mouse post that he likes Missed The Boat better than Fire It Up. You know what, I do too. Thanks Randal.
Missed The Boat - Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Cuz everyone was crazy
Over such n' such n' such
and
Was it even worth it
Was there all that much to gain
Well, we knew we missed the boat
And we'd already missed the plan
I've missed a lot of boats over the years. I used to worry about them. Not any more.

Great.....now i am hooked on a new Modest Mouse tune. I've got to get this album.

There's no "missing the boat" here. Two of my personal favorites are Spitting Venom and Parting of the Sensory... "Fire it up" is up there, as is "People as Places as People" but really there aren't any "bad" tracks on this album.

After much much spinning, I'm ready to first say that this album is in my top 10 of 2007 -- no doubt; and every spin makes me think it might make my top 5 once this year is over. Parting of the Sensory and Fire It Up are my favs. Dashboard still hasn't gotten old -- so damn catchy!
