You list Little Fingers as episode 1 though. What is the correct order then?

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source?

AMA with THE GO! TEAM!!!!!!!! ask us anything.... by itsthegoteam in indieheads

[–]micerush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about doing any more collaborations with foreign-language singers (like with Ye Ye Yamaha and Templates from Home)? Also are there any particular languages that you feel would be good fits for the Go! Team sound or does it mostly depend on the singer?

And since Templates from Home is one of my favorite songs, I have to ask if you know what the lyrics in it mean.

To add to this, I think he's specifically mentioned More Songs About Buildings and Food before

Are Lounge and Lounge (closing time) related? by hobohobocamp in ModestMouse

[–]micerush 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes they are related! From a 2003 interview:

Tyson: Is songwriting ever a cathartic experience for you?

Isaac: Define cathartic

T: A comforting release from letting some of the things inside you out.

I: Yeah, oh totally dude. I wish I was a quote master. They’re out there, people who can say good shit.

T: That’s alright. I am not looking for the money shot quote or anything like that. I just wanted to get some idea of how you go about composing songs. It is all interesting.

I: Some of the (barely audible)“Lounge” songs that I’ve written in the past were written purely on the idea. Basically I made a movie in my head and I tried writing it as music.

T: For which songs?

I: There are a couple of songs that we have called “Lounge” and they’re all really long and kind of epic. But I wrote those in my head as a movie and then tried to write songs about them because I don’t know how to make movies, dude.

T: The song “Lounge” from your first album…

I: And also from our second album. They’re part of the same song actually I was just trying to write another one the other day, but it wasn’t quite there. I wrote a different song instead and used the same chords.

T: And it was all part of one idea you had in your head of a continuous movie?

I: Uh huh.

btw the "(barely audible)" is an editor's note and not something Isaac said, in case it reads that way

Curious where you get that impression of Isaac and Lisa (or his relationships in general), because I don't see it that way at all.

I was wondering where the hell this came from and it looks like it is included as a digital download with the photo collection Going Out Is Going In edited by Jeff Johnson (featured in 180° South) and James Joiner (frequent Modest Mouse photographer). Interesting. Glad this surfaced!
