>got no friends
>very shy to talk to anybody in college, cause I think my English is not good enough
>insecurities kicking in
>realize how different I used to be socially when I was still in the Philippines
>Few months passed
>get homesick
>miss old friends
>talk to them on facebook

>pulled up lyrics to the song
>cried when I listened to it the 2nd time.
>embraced modest mouse after that
>felt like the song knew what I was going through
>still haven't got over that LDR
>life a little better now
>grades back to normal
>still not that much friends
>but still OK

Its a little summary I'm 21 now. That's how Modest Mouse helped me, they made me cry when I was bottling all my shit in. I don't mean to be all emotional and cheesy but, the band really helped me through a lot. I am not ashamed to tell you my story.

The Lonesome Crowded West idefinitely ranks somewhere among my 40 favorite albums of the 90s.

I hate everything that they've done since The Moon and Antarctica.

That's good. TBH, I never really knew about them until 3 years ago. Bankrupt on Selling was the first song I heard from them, its cause I grew up in a different part of the world that's why I never knew about them. After that I searched, backtracked on their recent albums and loved them ever since.

the lonesome crowded west>every other album.

cause its the 1st album I heard from them, I could literally cite every lyric in every song of that album. but I do like tM&A. I would probably put that on my second.

Anyone every saw them live? I always wanted to watch them live, from what I see on youtube, Brock is drunk on some of his live performances. I can't imagine the crowd being not pissed.

How was the crowd when they played? He didn't get booed or anything did he?

I watched this on YT a few months ago, I thought for sure they were going to release a new in 2012.

The video shows them singing a new song at the end. Which I would assume it's going to be a single for a new album. Still yeah you're right, if it's better than the last album it would definitely bring Modest Mouse back. Look at all those stuffed animals.
