[taillightslikecoals]

i love his house O_O i love him soooo much, the band the music the attitude everything everything but actually now i have to say i'd love to live in this house. wow

[erocker2020]

haha, sorry, but I am moving there! My gf is already up there. But once I get up there I hope no one else moves there.

[Gazelle54321]

@SmoothHourglass Isaac's guitar pedals (that I can make out): Cali Quake Tremolo, Boomerang E-155 Chorus Delay, Boss PS-5: Super Shifter, Boss BD-2: Blues Driver, Zvex Ooh Wah (NOTE: the Zvex Ooh Wah II is apparently better and is the one that I could find input on), Zvex Super Hard-On (older model), Zvex Woolly Mammoth (older model), Morley ABY Selector/Combiner (model ABY), Zvex Fuzz Factory “Vexter Series”, Zvex Seek-Trem (older model). (NOTE: last 2 I am unsure about)

Have a nice day :)

[PinkFloydrulez]

if i ever met isaac brock i would just hug him really hard

[marnold6879]

Just an all around interesting dude, who happens to be one of the best songwriters alive.

[keaton121]

wtf!? HE LIVES IN MY HOME TOWN!?!?! FUCK!!! i miss portland. i live in southern oregon now. fuck.

[danjamminricey]

Chick is a living Portlandia parody.

[buendia87]

7:01

[myvelouriaftw]

lol I liked how he whispered "but I loved him" and shook his hands reassuringly as if Frizzlefraz might've been offended at1:30

[devotionalclaymore]

Why do hipster girls always look like they just crawled out of the ocean? How is the ironic sea monster look interesting or cool? I bet she's never been with a girl but has "made out" with a few at parties and she describes really shitty music as "AMAZING" WAY too often.

[marnold6879]

RELEASE A NEW ALBUM SOON, FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU WORSHIP!!!

[juicebox2six]

3:30... Isaac put a bird on it.

[thosearepinklemons]

Also love me some Mimicking Birds :)

[thosearepinklemons]

I cracked up when Isaac pointed and said "there's a buncha birds". He's such a bizarre guy, gotta love him.

[skeesycheezy]

1. fangirling

v. 1. the reaction a fangirl has to any mention or sighting of the object of her "affection". These reactions include shortness of breath, fainting, highpitched noises, shaking, fierce head shaking as if in the midst of a seizure, wet panties, etc.

2. a gathering of two or more fangirls in which they proceed to waste endless amounts of time ogling, discussing/arguing, stalking, etc. the object of their "affection"

Yeah that....that sounds about right

[voicelessband]

I live next to that dude!

[SmoothHourglass]

@voicelessband Holy shit! Are you serious? Do you ever hear them jamming out?

[voicelessband]

@SmoothHourglass Yeah i just found it out like a week ago! I"m about 2 miles away; i need to go like talk to them sometime!

[MKtitanic97]

@voicelessband SERIOUSLY?

[cheifsquatingturtle]

@voicelessband i would kill to live next to isaac brock

[Skapunkfan1]

@voicelessband ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?

[pye3214]

Does anyone know what that book at 8:45 is? And if/where I can get it?

[SmoothHourglass]

@pye3214 The book is not any sort of official release. I personally believe it is probably Isaac's own collection of photographs, lyrics, scribbling's, and other band paraphernalia.

[pye3214]

@SmoothHourglass Ah, that's still pretty awesome. Just seeing the spine made me excited for such a cool looking book.

[xBillyTheKidx]

5:30 the music gets all serious and sentimental and the question comes up about the start of Glacial Pace

AND THERE'S ISAAC WEARING A FUCKING BACKWOODS LOOKING WEIRD HAT (i forget what they call those) LIKE HE'S BEEN HUNTING ALL DAY

[xBillyTheKidx]

on this edition of cribs...

[hydrokem]

7:57 .. while I love the interview, that's what you want. You know it. I know it. Dig it.

[cousinsven]

isaac is slowly transforming from fucking crazy young genius into fucking crazy old genius.

[daisygirl1217]

Thanks for sharing Isaac...you made me smile a lot in this video and I LOOOOVE the tin ceiling!....Portland rocks...

[buendia87]

"it's a bunch of birds."

[marcsfortaner]

insane collection of vintage stuff , amazing

[420Shabutie420]

the song? anyone?

[SmoothHourglass]

@420Shabutie420 It is a new song and this is the only known performance of it to date.

[420Shabutie420]

@SmoothHourglass thanks for the upload, man!

[Kulizokia]

@420Shabutie420

The one playing in the background or the one at the end?

[mosaphat]

@Kulizokia cabin fever - mimicking birds

[pkdukesnides1]

Put a bird on that house!

[redstripe19]

@pkdukesnides1 6:00

[Paan987654321]

i would literally do anything for there new album....ad i mean anything

[redstripe19]

the dream of the 90's is alive in portland..

[hideyhoification]

@redstripe19 Nope, pretentious hipster pseudo-bohemian lifestyles seem to be thriving though.

[Fendertastic]

GOD PORTLAND CHICKS ARE FUCKING PAINFUL

[ManWithoutHair]

I feel like he's really bothered by her. But it's understandable

[ASeriousHardMan]

boxing gloves and a bat is not the proper way to remove a wall

[murdoc562]

On the balcony you can tell poor ol' Isaac just wants this bitch out of his house.

[uzirnis]

Does she do interviews, cause no one wants to sleep with her?

[wednesday1305]

songs calld :"give it enough" cant wait for the new album

[killerbee065]

She reminds me of Mel from Flight Of The Conchords

[Melvinpoindexter182]

@killerbee065 If Mel wore glasses hahahahaha.

[macsreviews]

at 4:31, is that Jeremy?

[1013637]

I am happy that Isaac has gotten past drugs, and that he is generally a happier person now, however I think that he was a better musician from The Moon And Antarctica and previous, as well as Ugly Casanova. But, that is just my opinion. No matter what he does now, those old records have already been made, and I feel personally indebted to him for making such beautiful music.

[momo159753159753]

Now, the funny thing about that fox at 1:14, was that it was also on the special edition of This is Good News for People Who Love Bad News. It was on the music video. KICK ASS VIDEO!!!

[mebeasle]

the best is 1:14 for sure

[UTubist512]

@mebeasle I agree. At 4:45 is also very interesting. It's a small revelation that seems to illustrate the difference between artists, and well, the rest of us.

[AUSModestMousefan1]

Love his house, love the sound of the new song.

[Svaldek]

I love his lisp.

[RobotNinjaTaco]

$5 says his friend James that helped him with his floor is James mercer.( lead singer of the shins)

[psichomiko]

I've heard hes a dick from friends that either go by his house or have met him

[TehBilliez]

Heeeeeeey... Lady.

[RidesGravity]

from 7:58 is the best

[ModestDollesin]

Their new song sounds beautiful, hopefully they keep things simpler like their older days.

[iballgrupe]

i know this guy namend gavin, talks and acts exsactly the same way as Brock

[CrazyGnome07]

Am I the only one that finds this girl extremely annoying?

[SUITandTIE39]

@CrazyGnome07 no, no you are not.

[borocasanovo]

@CrazyGnome07 yeah...uh...l'de still bang her though.

[idothefish]

@CrazyGnome07 If I like this, do I reinforce that she is annoying or agree that you are the only one? ..I just want to make sure my vote counts here.

[devotionalclaymore]

@CrazyGnome07 I was about to say.......this is everything I can't stomach about the young "hip" crowd.

[nbrigmon]

cool house. whys his head so big now? and hes mellow as crap now it seems like.

[vicentedpsantos]

"it makes me feel busy but really im not... just hanging out"

[onlymodestmouse]

I LOVE THIS MAAN

[doodman325]

reason i started wearing flannels



[snoookergirl]

I miss the stuffed modest mouse...

[obsessivechickx]

He is so adorable! I love how grown up he is now. :)

[prumpa42]

new song sounds so sick. Cant wait.

[MananasArma]

Well... Thats one problem you can solve with a bowling ball! Lol.

[ManWhoPoopsWell]

He acts and looks a lot like that Zach Galifianakis fellow.



[BoogieBuddyMike]

@ManWhoPoopsWell Zach Galifianakis listens to Modest Mouse according to some website where he listed a playlist of songs he likes.

[NovocainHurricane]

Give It Enough!

[downfallin]

dudes a musicians musician.

[dakotaneo]

LOL put on goxing gloves and got a bat and knocked out thse walls, i love isaac for just not caring too much i really think thats why he is so great, just so laid back man.... <3 that

[airsplat490]

Shayla's hot, just sayin 

[voicelessband]

I can't believe i used to live next to him....

[Shoresee]

@voicelessband Really? What was he like as a neighbor? Did you guys ever hang?

[voicelessband]

@Shoresee Well, you see...I actually lived by him when i was an infant....sadly. I would really, really like to meet him....Probably could (i know where he lives) but he might get freaked out or something :P

[garnetaronyk]

i cant wait for there new album :D

[Lozquet13]

Thats why he´s the only one person I can actually consider an idol to me, some one to follow and try to learn from, thanks man.

[Seriously3000]

That's seriously the exact house I picture Isaac living in.

[redstripe19]

@Seriously3000 well aren't you so special :)

[PinkFloydrulez]

i feel like tossing back brews with isaac brock and chatting for a night about anything would be a profoundly life-altering experience

[MilkMan778]

"He's a gentleman's gentleman."

[crazycrazyman]

"dudes got a morgtage"

[kellsbells232011]

wow....so not as pretensious as i expected him to be. beautiful music beautiful man beautiful speech impedement :) humble as can be. hes so intelligent but just a normal guy. in my expreience intelligence comes with being a pompous ass. thatnks for steering my mind the other way isaac

[olafvisser]

@kellsbells232011; well, he isn't really intelligent. He just is poetic and musical, but indeed, he is surprisingly 'human', as opposed to being either pretentious, junky-ish or just rich.

[SmoothHourglass]

@olafvisser On what basis are you determining his intelligence?

[olafvisser]

@SmoothHourglass; as he said, he wouldn't know what to do if Modest Mouse hadn't been a success, so I assumed (which I maybe shouldn't have) he never took any higher education. No offence, he's a cool guy, and maybe very wise and witty, but he doesn't really give the impression he's intelligent (and we might even have a conflict of definition here; at least I have the feeling I offended you which, again, maybe I shouldn't have).

[SmoothHourglass]

@olafvisser Education is not indicative of intelligence.But he definitely isn't the type of guy with a plan.

[happyparallel]

@olafvisser I think anyone who writes music has to be intelligent, let alone Modest Mouse's music. He doesn't need to be philisophical like Radiohead or something. Listening to a record should be enough to verify his intelligence.

[kellsbells232011]

i didnt know isaac brock had a silibant s......god i love speech impedements...i dont know why. but hes sexy with that silibant s lol

[murdoc562]

Fucking hipster bitch intrudes (the amazingness that is Isaac Brock)'s home. He still treats her with the utmost respect like a muthafuckin baws.

"Heeeyyyy, lady how ya doin? :) " 0:42

[amhamspam]

That girl is so fucking annoying her face just bothers me. I respect Isaac and I have a lisp too :)

[mikeleonardd80]

hahah...dumb hipster girls piss me off

[Legion7991]

I'm naming my next dog Frizzlefraz.

[delanois]

i want to punch this bitch in her dumb cheese face

[JDC1316]

I can't wait til I'm Mrs. Jet Brock <3 LOL!!!!

[SOADafi]

he lives on the same block as Stephen Malkmus of Pavement and the lead singer of The Shins, fuck what the video says, i'm moving there!

[kibblesnbitsful]

i love how just, average he is. its nice!

[TheSpoonRooster]

Am I the only one who REALLY wants to hear what's in that album collection?

[criket527]

@TheSpoonRooster soooo badly

[songdiver]

@imjohnandyouare

I hope he is...Isaac on drugs + happy = good music

[songdiver]

This is a really great video. It's interesting to see an interview in a real musician/artist's home. I say "real," because I remember watching that filth on MTV (cribs) as a little kid and seeing a bunch of soulless cunts going around talking about how expensive everything was (talking like "gangstas") instead of having anything to say...that was when I started to wake up (around 1996) and realized the mainstream was not healthy for my brain. Can't wait for another MM album.

[mschonert7]

@songdiver Cribs didn't air until 2000. Are you trying hide your age? It's okay to be young.

[joel4arts]

The mild manager Rick Ferrari...he's a gentleman's gentleman.

[MrModestmouse94]

Shayla is the epitome of hipster.

[UnrealAppeal]

Any idea what that new song they are playing at the end is called?

[SmoothHourglass]

@UnrealAppeal It's a new song band it hasn't been officially released. I suspect it will wind up on the new LP whenever they get around to making that.

On a side-note youtube user ChiefTragedy has edited it out of the video and uploaded it by itself so if you want easy access to it find his channel.

[songdiver]

[lack0Fdesign]

@SmoothHourglass its Mimicking Birds, a band that Isaac produces for

[SmoothHourglass]

@lack0Fdesign I know, he was talking about the song Isaac plays at the end.

[CLSosa]

04:43 Blah blah blah dope house

[borocasanovo]

8:00 nuff said

[Zeke4TV]

[tuliplove642]

[tuliplove642]

@Zeke4TV Sorry I replied late, D:

I'm not sure what you're asking...O:

[asssssss1212]

[ttk1opc]

Modest House

[Guercinator]

frizzle frats!! :D

[Guercinator]

nice ass house!

[dlharris37]

"There's a bunch of birds." Dear god, I love this man.

[digitalfreak200]

He has an IPHONE!

[keyboardqueen98]

i love how he is all serious with that thing on his head. you rock isaac brock. (i did not mean to make that ryme)

[Robiskool1234]

he's a cool mother fucker because he doesn't care what people think, probably didnt growing up either, I don't think he believes in "awkward moments"

[TheGhump]

What song is playing in the background at 6:45 ish? Does anyone know?

[SmoothHourglass]

@TheGhump It is Cabin Fever by Mimicking Birds. They were a band signed by Isaac and released on Glacial Pace Recordings. They have one album and I highly reccomend you check it out.

[bigmoose25]

he makes social awkwardness look pretty cool

[BatcaveDilemma]

His personality is so cute. There's something so calm and endearing about it.

[TheBoConcept]

i fall asleep and wake up to my entire modest mouse library on repeat

[jahcksawn]

cribs!

[MrISAACFACE]

My last comment was a technical error. I love everything about isaac brock*

[MrISAACFACE]

I envy everything about Us

[unfocusedfears]

i can't put into words how much this video made me respect him more. seriously, everything they portray here is so awesome. the stuffed animals, the REALLY neat decor in his home, the way he answers the question about "same thread of bands" saying it has to be something he personally wants to listen to. gosh, he's my favorite musician ever. k, just had to get that off my chest :)

[HiddenWoodsMedia]

"Heyyy... lady"



[bitterxreilly]

@HiddenWoodsMedia

LOL so much love for isaac

[shadrachleobeck]

THIS IS SO COOL



[asiababydoll]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEE HIM LOVE HIM ima find you isaac brock and love you up boy!

[metallvoid]

yeah and i uhhh...saw that dude lol

[SmoothHourglass]

@metallvoid I replied and then went "You know what? What am I doing? I can just delete this." So I just deleted it. I'd prefer these comments to be free of fighting etc.

[optimusmars]

this guy is my hero

[ballparkmanatee]

The way he words things cracks me up for some reason. Keep doin' your thing, Isaac.

[TheRiteOne100]

"also not killed for me"............. lmao

[dontblowsmoke]

Oddly, this is almost exactly how I pictured his house.

[MegaGreengod]

HIS STUDIO! AND RICK FERRARI!

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

Isaac is the best. The song at the end sounds so so so good!

[rojorulet]

I really, really like the ending song. Sounds a lot more like the old MM I know.

[pksagara]

@rojorulet I wholeheartedly agree, As soon as I heard that classic MM Harmonic , It reminded me of how they used it in the lonesome crowded west, a more specific example, Cowboy Dan. but it was a higher pitch like sort of in Blue Cadet-3 or something. So stoked to hear the rest of the album!

[carlrs15]

Yeah, Love as Laughter!
