iloveboxcars Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I like Modest Mouse. ODS is a moron for saying that. Someones genius does not deplete just because they "sell-out". Did you sell out when you took that assistant manager position at Arby's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? You swear like every band sounds the same for the rest of your life. Ugh, Modest Mouse still sounds very similar to everything they have done in the past. I, personally like The Lonesome Crowded West the best, but that doesn't mean their new album is shit. I think all you are doing is not giving them a chance because they were in a car commercial. Wasn't there something about that where they didn't have any say in that anyway because they didn't own the rights to the music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you sell out when you took that assistant manager position at Arby's? selling out sucks, especially in the name of a car comercial. but at least their genius is still intact.

I don't really like ben kewller all that much. Yeah I live in boston. As far as selling out, who cares? just listen to the music, and enjoy it. Does it really matter if they are in a car commercial? If you genuinely like the music, it shouldn't phase you at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinse Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 really, i've nevered heard their tunes but the fact that some hit single of theirs is the cute little bow wrapped around a brand new nissan, is just something that doesnt interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinse Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 sounds to me, that if its in a comercial its about the all mighty dollar. thats exactly what i'm saying, "its about the music". but feel free to think what you want, just be sure to spell check those thoughts.

T=E=A=S=E Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 rinse... you must either be a kid, or a fucking idiot, maybe both. only a fool would pass up the opportunity to recieve money for something that they love to do, in this case im talking about modest mouse doing that commercial. they make music for people to listen to, and they do it one because they love the music they make im sure, and two, to make money. it doesnt matter how they make the money from their music, as long as its made. i cant stand people who claim to have liked a musician / band / rapper or whatever up until they went "mainstream" or "sold out". that shit is absolutely the stupidest fucking chump thing someone could do / say.

CIPHER_one Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I don't think its as easy to make a living by playing music as most of you guys think it is. Modest Mouse is great. The new album is pretty cool. That song "Blame it on the tetons" is awesome. Moon and antarctica is my favorite album of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinse Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 going mainsteam and selling out are two totally different things. going mainstream is all fine and good 'cause it as a musicians goal to make it big by making their music. selling out is different... its stripping the original intent and identity of a good piece of music in order to make a product seem more hip or cool to those who might be easily swayed. thats why bands get paid bank for the use of their music in a comercial... prospectively that piece of music is going to make the sales company more money by making the product seem more interesting or current. selling out is not about the music. i never claimed to have disliked a band because they went mainstream, i applaud any group that can reach gold record status or higher yet. so dont be putting words in my mouth. if you cant understand what i'm saying your more of a chuckle-head than i thought. EDIT: spell checking my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T=E=A=S=E Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 so basically youre saying its wack that they have their music in a car commercial because...? sounds snobby to me. "im not going to listen to this group i used to like because they sold one of their songs to nissan to use in a commercial, and im a die hard FORD fan." :rolleyes: "its stripping the original intent and identity of a good piece of music in order to make a product seem more hip or cool to those who might be easily swayed. selling out is not about the music. " and if someone bought a car because "modest mouse" ...their favorite band was playing during the commercial, they suck at life anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
