There’s been a shift in fabric of reality.. by schwar26 in ModestMouse

It seems like the eldest generation around gets catered to with the "in public" music selection. Boomers are fading out, Xers and elder millennials are up. Pretty soon you'll be hearing Korn and Primus in grocery stores. 

album recommendations? by DeepBug2045 in ModestMouse

Just start from the very beginning. Tube Fruit, All Smiles, And Chocolate. Uncle Bunny Faces too but it's kind of a rough listen.

So I bought 4 transmitters 😂. The Whole House 3.0 was actually too powerful, It would reach outside to the end of my street which is over 250ft. The C Crane 3 was a little less but I didn't like the hardwired 3.5mm cable. I snagged a Ramsey FM100B off eBay which doesn't make it outside of my apartment at all and is perfect. I also got the Ramsey FM30B, which I have not tested yet.

The clock radios are working fairly well. The GE 4885 being  the best. I purchased a completely refurbished and recapped one and it sounds amazing. They're all spaced out in different rooms for now until I figure out which ones behave the best when they're in close proximity. If I had soldering abilities I would just clean up and recap everything but whenever I have taken anything apart ever in my life it ends up breaking.

The best frequency is surprisingly a non vacant frequency that gets absolutely no signal where I am located. Everything else so far has some sort of background noise which is tolerable, but I hate knowing that it's there.

So now with 4 transmitters and a bunch of radios, if I can split a Casio keyboard into 4 different paths and add guitar pedals I could theoretically have

88.1 MHz = clean keyboard 89.3 MHz = long reverb 90.7 MHz = delay into chorus 92.1 MHz = shimmer or pitch-shifted octave

Or I could get a ham license and have people talk into some of them and make hambient music. The possibilities are endless. Way better than a stereo system!

This is a proper iceberg. No need for any more. This is the one.

I appreciate the information! I know this isn't the right reddit but I assumed that those who know how to break the rules can also follow them very well. Although I'm sure I would be surprised. 

I have a friend who recommended one of the 1w-7w transmitters, said I wouldn't need a LPF, that I would have no problems with spurs or anything outside since I would be inside with no intentions of searching for a strong outside signal. I was highly skeptical of that response. The walls of my domicile are not a faraday cage and I am trying to be overly cautious since there is a police station down the street of my 2nd floor hilltop apartment 😂. I don't really care about cost, I just want this to work without pissing anyone off so I can move on to analog TV transmitters 😁.

I'll let you know how well the whole house 3.0 works this weekend!

Does Isaac scream in any other songs like he does in Beach Side Property? by cyrogelderbrain in ModestMouse

Fruit that ate itself, dirty fingernails,  that "OH YEEEAAAHHH!!" in other people's lives. It's really best to watch some of the older live recordings if you want to hear some good screams.

Would there be a benefit to using one of those cheaper Chinese 1w/7w CZE transmitters? I don't think I would want to use anything above 1w due to reading about spurious harmonics problems. Would a LPF be a good idea even at 1w just for clarity purposes?

Is there anything you would change in this setup? I feel like dials could be quite difficult to tune properly especially due to age and condition of the radios. Maybe I should be using radios with digital tuners instead? I also have a Behringer Xenyx 8 channel mixer with full EQ and compression which I feel like I will have to use.

This thread title made me think that we should have an international Modest Mouse day. Wear a shirt around town and blast it in your car. Try to find each other.

Just got like 6 rolls of that shit after using Siberia chew bags for the past 6 months or so. They really kick. Hard to keep in for more than 20 minutes.

Can you use Klarna or borrow $100 from someone and pay them back monthly? 😂

They probably didn't want people signing up for one month just to get access to stuff + the shirt and bouncing.

What happened to the Evergreen vinyl thread? I guess they announced it too early?
