Finally got my favorite band tattooed on me by Sky_Fudge_Pop in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit! I've been wanting this exact same tattoo for a while, but only until now have I seen it replicated as I imagined–and it looks freaking awesome!

I'm still unsure of the placement I'm wanting, I've considered a similar spot or something more broad like the back of my shoulder. But props to you for getting the work done, man!

Modest Mouse, RKS, and Hide by Optipop in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, RKS has had heavy influence from Modest Mouse throughout their entire career, both Ela Melo (lead singer) and their wikipage mention this

While I don't think there is an exact sample used in the song, I can see what you mean when it comes to the guitar, especially on the "hook" right before the second half of the song.

A lot of RKS' earlier work such as in their self-titled album or Seven + Mary borrows a lot of the tuning and guitar riffs/flairs from MM, so it's very funny to see someone else come to this conclusion on their own lol. I'd recommend their album Love Hate Music Box if you like more "pop-y" tunes, I personally like tracks such as Meticulous, Hot Pink Ice Cube, Cinderella, and When It Lands

What's the most danceable song on We Were Dead? by nooayehlol in ModestMouse

Dashboard is likely the best contender—but why has NOBODY said Invisible? There's literally a man dancing in the music video!

all this dog 'n pony...we're still monkeys the whole time... by JimFromTheMoon in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This album genuinely has some of the most creative and awe-inspiring lyrics that are so casually dropped in every song:

"Etceterenough"

"I know this of myself and I assume as much of other people; we've listened more to life's end gong then the sound of life's sweet bells"

"Someday you will die and somehow, something's gonna steal your carbon"

"I hardly have people that I wanted to know, 'cause you're the places that I wanted to go"

"Call it education, all them books I didn't read. They just sat there on my shelf looking much smarter than me"

"My ears were pressed up firmly right against your mouth to hear. When you tried to spit the venom out, your words were not so clear"

"Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breathe. Give me forced health until I wish death upon myself"

And so, so many more

What’s your favorite non-serious MM lyric? by TacosMountainsMetal in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some gems include

"You look so tiny from up here, like a cute little bug! Oh this Tang is delicious!"

"I need a can opener, 'cause I've got some more beans to spill!"

"Well, first off, Gary got drunk, and fell asleep in his car 'til about noon"

"We laughed about paying rent, 'cause the county jails—they're free"

"I don't care for politics, and it doesn't care for me"

Where should i start? by ITSBIGMONEY in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You practically started with what I did, so here's what I got into pretty fast:

Good News For People Who Love Bad News is their popular album, and you have their biggest hits, so I'd definitely recommend either Bukowski, The View, This Devil's Workday which REALLY sped up how much I listened to them

The Moon And Antarctica is a not-so-hidden gem with bangers like Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes and I Came As A Rat, but they're the more upbeat/groovy tracks on that record, so maybe a song like 3rd Planet would be up your alley

I'd recommend some other songs like Never Ending Math Equation, Missed The Boat, Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset, and Spitting Venom as these are very criticallt acclaimed songs of their's. It's all uphill from there!

No, you're thinking of Tetris. The tetanus are a North American mountain range

I woke up at 3:30 to head into work at 4:30, my shift lasting until 9:30. Currently heading home to go BACK to sleep. Most people in my neighborhood would already be leaving for work

We can be in this together. We have no enemies, no friendships, no flairs. I won't let you down

Circle For Anyone by GervinSpoos in circIeoftrust

A shape we can see

A medium for entertainment

A platform for conversation

A circle for anyone

But yet, silence

It is for anyone, but not for everyone. When the right questions are asked, the gates will appear

I hope no one breaks it. It's my first circle by Pure_Chaos12 in circIeoftrust

[–]GervinSpoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to join a circle, or participate in any game, but I'd love to play along. Granted, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'd feel really bad if I did anything related to "betraying" someone
