Modest Mouse - Perpetual Motion Machine

[mdstmouse7]

wont bother listening to this album either. Sure its opinionated but yah I think they have gotten worse. Reading through other comments on other music videos I havent seen so much discussion on how a band has gotten worse. So apparently there are a large number of us who agree modest mouse has seriously lost its touch.Happy they made enough amazing songs that i'll never stop listening to them. My fav song is edit the sad parts. Check out Ugly Casanova to see the earliest songs

[HiddenWoodsMedia]

@mdstmouse7 lol then why are you here

check out whale song or king rat

[DanielBrown89]

This is an awesome video..

But to get more plans...

Just Go to Google, search for "Top Magnetic Generator" ...

[TeaTimeForWhales]

Every Modest Mouse album has a different sound to it, and people forget they started out around 18 years old. Of course they're music changed, Isaac is nearing 40 years old. Not to mention his musical taste is also unique.

But everyone is such a belligerent dick, they forget obvious shit such as this. Modest Mouse is great.

[cy750]

Listen to that sexy Baritone Saxophone it is simply amazing plus the even sexier Tenor Saxophone and the trombone and trumpet

I LOVE THIS SONG

[456dareyoutomove]

You can't expect a band to stay the same forever. They have to grow and change in order to get better, whether people like it or not. Personally, I've liked just about everything I've heard from Modest Mouse so far. I love it when indie bands change it up and when they become successful. People get too wound up over this 'selling out' shit.

[Illumiplasty]

Selling your music off is not selling out...as long as you made that music for yourself, your friends, your bandies, and your fans. Going out of your way to MAKE music to target a group of people you know has cash is selling out (i.e. letting a record label tweak your music to sell more albums).

[rockyrigby]

Modest Mouse has gotten progressively better over the years.

dealwithit.

[19modestmouse93]

@rockyrigby Bullshit. They've changed for sure, but they havent gotten better. "this is a long drive" is just as good (if not better) than "good news" or "we were dead". Its just modest mouse dog, they are who they are.

[CassiusFA]

@rockyrigby It's more like progressively more folk over the years, if that's "better" or not is completely subjective. Personally my favorite album is sad sappy sucker since I enjoy the DIY/punk sound and energy they had (despite being a fucking three piece band).

[WatchNoEvil]

For a moment I though I was watching PBS.

[v00dochild22]

this is garbage i love the mouse but come on what the fuck is this

[OTVbonks]

@v00dochild22 non-believer.

[Fongseedong]

I -still- wish I could figure out what the dialogue is right before the end of this tune... I love shit like that. Maybe if I turn it up REAL LOUD I CAN MAKE IT OUT!!!

[RobotNinjaTaco]

why are you people fighting? cant we all just get along? how can you act so bad with music like this... isaac is a hero

[KlamDawg]

I'm sorry fellow Modest Mouse fans, but this is possibly my least favorite song by them, next to "History Sticks To Your Feet".

[ICgoateee]

@KlamDawg Ok Dawg..

[ichigosrighthandman]

9 people dont have ears...

[Gustaveman6]

Oh wow, saying modest mouse, is a sell out? Where do i began the lead singer...grew up living in a shack, he built him self? They had virtually no money, a band defying all odds, and finally being able to do and play what they want is not a sell out. You might not know it, but modest mouse has over 175 songs. Listen to them, and learn from them, youll know theyre not sell outs. shit

[TheRuncible]

"Immature" seems perfectly in context to me...

But maybe the term "naive" works better for ya?

[Happymealify]

To me a band sells out when their music is only made for money. By far, Modest Mouse is not a sell-out

[l33tpwnzord]

beginning sounds like the Matlock intro song

[brandemedia]

How can people dislike Modest Mouse!:( lol

[EveryTimeV2]

@TheKateOhKate

Everyone has something to prove.

[themranonemus]

9 people dislike this.

264 people like this.

1/380 people who saw this cared enough to saw wether they liked it or not.

[2010HappyFishMusic]

I just wanna waddle down the street when i hear this!

[alyelblood]

this song just makes me giggle ^-^ 

[yesjakeyes]

modest mouse are awful these days. they have been for a few years now

[righteousrat]

@yesjakeyes Not quite.

[TheMrPigglesworth]

@yesjakeyes troll lolz

[TheMrPigglesworth]

@yesjakeyes troll lolz if ur not, correct me plz

[monkofjoel]

i happen to have my own pair of spider butterflys and they like to eat bananas and smell the color purple.

[rougestr]

@monkofjoel i'm jealous

[CompoundSolutionsTV]

reminds me of something The Beatles might've done for Sgt. Pepper. different, but I like

[xjustin523x]

im so glad modest mouse is still great

[lizrdlord1]

Man that brass/woodwind section is KILLER.

[steven8807]

I'm new to this...new single?

[WhoDoYouThink100]

@steven8807 Basically every song is a single from Modest Mouse. They each sound different xD

You can buy every song as a single, but most, I think including this, is in an album.

[oOakrapOo]

well...i like their spiderflies :)

[Guercinator]

This reminds me so much of the music in the Downtown Bikini Bottom level of "Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini bottom"

[Mycological]

@Guercinator so many of modest mouse's songs remind me of music i heard from games iplayed when i was younger

[acumdragon]

come on everyone lets all just lisin to some music why are you fighting on such good music who cares what anybody thinks i think its good and thats good ebuf for me peace guys

[TheKateOhKate]

why is everything on youtube turn into a fight?

[JacksonLee19]

@TheKateOhKate cuz people are insecure about their own shit so they take it out on others

[liqwidmud]

@JacksonLee19 yeah, my shit sometimes has corn in it, but im taking that all out on you! LOL no no no i just kid

[chris01511]

@TheKateOhKate good english

[blarg83]

@TheKateOhKate why is everything

~ CE

[andyflys]

@TheKateOhKate shut up crazy bitch

[1BattleAngel]

@TheKateOhKate I think alot of people are fixated on hate thus they try to hurt one another...and its kind of pointless because its all heresay.I just wish people would waste there energy on something worthwhile..but C'est la vie...let the nimrods be nimrods...

[halolamer]

@TheKateOhKate THATS NOT TRUE AT ALL, Y DO U SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS

:D

[elancares]

@TheKateOhKate E-thug



[JohnzillaTheHun]

@TheKateOhKate NO!! NO IT'S NOT!! NOT EVEN!!! I HATE YOU FOR BEING A JEW!!! GAY JEW!!!! UR BLACK!!

[Whatsinmypocket]

@TheKateOhKate Humans fight, get over it

[TheGiantRabbit]

@TheKateOhKate holy shit you just made my day, philosopher!

[CurtisIJM]

@TheKateOhKate it doesn't have to be a fight, but people are entitled to their opinions. Just don't take it personally, don't get offended. That way you can join in the discussion without it really being a fight. Shrug off insults, it only really matters what you think. Once enough people realize this I think the fighting will be replaced by meaningful discussion. There isn't usually only one answer to a dispute

[khadfhfucklsahsd]

:')

golden streams just filled my ear.

[ThisIsKindaFunny]

I wish Isaac didn't give up alcohol.

[ohcehnehdeh]

@ThisIsKindaFunny gave up alcohol?

[ThisIsKindaFunny]

@ohcehnehdeh Yeah, he was a violent alcoholic for like six years. That's when his best songs were written.

[TheRuncible]

So tired of the whole "they sold out" mentality--it's a sure sign of an immature listener.

Whatever a good band does that allows them to keep making good music--be it a commercial, or signing with a large label, or giving handjobs in back alleys--is just fine with me. Just keep the good tunes coming...

Hell, the first time I heard Modest Mouse was in a Nissan minivan commercial, and that was ten years ago. Is that when they "sold out".

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@TheRuncible I.....HATE....THE....WORD....I­MMATURE being used out of context.

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@TheRuncible but i understand wat u mean bro

[pimpguitar1]

@TheRuncible Think of it this way.... NickleBack... Sold Out Losers.... Modest Mouse, Indy-Fucking Amazing-Not Sold Out... Except for Float On... That song was a sell out, but I don't hold it against them. Power too modest mouse for being the best fucking band for ever.

[sweatsweatsweatsweat]

@pimpguitar1 to sell out is to make money. simple as that. everyone's selfish. everyone's a douche bag. everyone's a poser. everyone's a sell out. it's just what you do with what you got. spread what you think is awesome, bro.

[pimpguitar1]

@sweatsweatsweatsweat True, My take on selling out is when an artist displays their music to a big fanbase for reasons of being famous, or making money, which modest mouse doesn't do. That is why i love them

[SpinnyRoboDino]

@sweatsweatsweatsweat I'm not selfish, a douche bag, poser, or a sell out.

I hate money and think its not necessary.

I do agree that people should just spread what they think is awesome, no strings attached though because that's how it should be.

[sweatsweatsweatsweat]

@SpinnyRoboDino everyone's a poser because everyone tries to be like the people before them. they all try to have fun. you are a sell out, mr. dishwasher. and i know you are selfish and a douche bag because it's impossible to not be those if aren't dead by suicide before the age of 0. read the article by cracked on "monkeysphere" and you'll agree with me.

[fuzzywalrus82]

@sweatsweatsweatsweat well put. im sick of everyone thinking they're "original"

[jeffmanster888]

@sweatsweatsweatsweat I fucking love that article. It, however, has absolutely nothing to do with explicitly labeling people and being proud of it. Common courtesy does not change, and using douche bag and selfish as a term that covers all human beings is stupid. I will now sort you as a asshole, thank you very much, extrapolating your personality from this tiny glimpse of your persona.

[sweatsweatsweatsweat]

@jeffmanster888 i ain't proud of being a douche bag. i fucking hate myself for not being able to help billions of people every day. and i am sure i ain't alone with hating myself for not being able to help billions of people every day. if you think i think i'm awesome, you're wrong. i'm fucking despicable for not being able to do more for others.

[TheAlabamaAtheist]

@jeffmanster888 "an* asshole"

P.S. Only an asshole would use a whole paragraph to call someone else an* asshole.

[jeffmanster888]

@TheAlabamaAtheist Have you read the article? The irony is strong here if you have.

[jgood911]

@TheAlabamaAtheist Saw your username and just wanted to throw out a quick Roll Tide

[shitfeast]

@pimpguitar1 Nickelback eh?....a band can't sell out when they were shit to begin with.

[ForrestJ88]

@shitfeast Arguably the greatest comment I have ever seen. Bravo.

[CoN0R115]

@shitfeast I approve of your name.

[SerjicalSystem18]

@shitfeast I love you man.

[safe0sam]

@shitfeast well fucking said man.

[ChefdeVT]

@TheRuncible Which song was in a commercial ten years ago?

[plerben]

@ChefdeVT I know "gravity rides everything" was in a commercial at some point. Awesome song, awesome band.

[TheRuncible]

@ChefdeVT

Gravity Rides Everything.

Search youtube for "modest mouse nissan commercial"

[rctelles]

@TheRuncible Yup thats when they sold out. That's probably about the time I heard of them too. Then I went and bought their old albums. They were great then, and they are still great.

[midocrimsonfate]

@TheRuncible Yea you know what though...whatever they come up with I will love it cause I'm just such a huge fan it doesn't matter how much they change I will still dig it;)

[gfunk3546]

@TheRuncible I remember that, I was in a daze with the TV on in the background and I heard Gravity rides everything. I turned around and saw a blue nissan minivan swerving around a curve, I thought to myself, good for Modest Mouse.

[poppywinkles]

@TheRuncible not to be a douchebag, but yeah....10 years ago they started to be over produced...starting w/ moon and antarctica....its not a question of makin' money, which by all means make a livin'...however they used to sound a lot different and you weren't there...signed immature nonlistener...xoxoxxx

[Preisellack]

this is good, but it's got fucking nothing on the moon and ant.

[hellohell77]

TehSamurai- so what did they sell out on moon and antarctica too cuz that was off a major label. I dont get that bullshit. If thats the case then almost every good band sells out. I dont call green day sellouts because theyre so commercialized now. I just think theyre music sucks. lol

[XXXDukeManteeXXX]

I hate you all. F.O.D.

[D4N13Lf00]

personally i love all MM songs from Sad Sappy Sucker to No One's First and everyting in between but i guess im just a hardcore fan like that. songs i do not like are Summer, History Sticks to your feet and Milo (what the fuck was that about!? lol)

[TehSamurai]

Modest Mouse sold out so hard.

[ASmallBig]

@TehSamurai How so? They still sound like their 'ol goofy indie selves, despite their label shift.

[XXXDukeManteeXXX]

It's hard to shove something in your ass when you are in a wheelchair.

[Markau102]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX O, it's you. Nevermind my message there. Pretty good. But why the message? Couldn't even reply on this video? I was so confused, don't be such a weird shit. I do admit you really got me on that message, but that won't happen again. But yeah, you're still probably some dumb 13 year old with a sick mind masturbating to blue waffle all day. Great job, buddy.

[XXXDukeManteeXXX]

@Markau102 I wish I was 13...the puss was so much better then. I do enjoy masturbating though. A lot. I have managed to cut a hole in the seat of my wheel chair. So it is much easier to cram pretty much anything up there.

[Markau102]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX Well, you have the mind of one. I assumed you're mentally handicapped as-well as physically?

[BlankAvenueBass]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX Dude, you're using the same technique I used with your mom and her wheelchair! How cool is that? . Anyways, go f***************************** yourself.

[MisterScrutinizer]

I accidentally stumbled upon this vid. I am so glad I did. I hit the subscribe button after having watched 30 seconds of it ;)

[somehominid]

They have changed alot but i like their music

[phyllis947]

this song fucking kicks ass weird beat kick ass lyrics we all try harder as the days run out

[sirgarycoleman]

Don't really like the song.. I don't hate it, but I definitely rarely listen to it.

I guess that's why this was a B-Side... this last little B-Side album didn't really stick with me like any of the other albums, which sucks, but again... that's probably why it was a B-Side album.

Here's hoping their next regular album is great and nothing like this song.

[therocknrollmike]

I personally feel this is kinda campy, they've sorta become a parody of their original sound. I definitely hold their earlier stuff close, but this is lame...

[kakapendergrass11]

love it :) <3

[iamryun]

love this one but i cant wait for them to go in another direction again

[haskellhauf]

modest mouse could not go in any better direction then this one

[NmHman127Nugget]

@iamryun lol are they going to it seems like this is their way out. It's such a sad couple songs and it captures them too well to not be their last. they definitely sing about our right to do nothing a lot.

[iamryun]

you know.. i hope youre wrong, but you sound so right!

[freakshowv]

We all try harder as the days run out!!!

I love the cover art for this.

[SaRaDidntDoIt]

Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound Saying, "we just want to go on walking around and feel what it's like to fall down"

WTF!! haha I love it..

[Danton982]

i actually prefer there newer stuff

[lorak0123]

hmm i like the song but really they have really disapointed me as they progressed to modern day. Still great song i just like it as much as the album: this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about. plz dont be dicks about this comment too b cuz i still like modest mouse.

[muahahaha101]

I agree with that I loved their older stuff more, but still I enjoyed their more moderns tuff....I dont know This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About is probably my favorite album too =)

[SBBFL94]

@lorak0123 You have to understand that originality doesn't come from redoing the same sound. From the beggining to the end, Modest Mouse will always hold originality, wether you like it or not. No matter the sound, listen to the lyrics. They're always fucking genius

[SBBFL94]

@lorak0123 That came out kinda dickish but you prolly get what I mean lol

[tecwolfen]

I love the lead singers voice. With the music you've got killer.

[jackaloop123456]

beautiful song about wanting to live foreever so that we can do all the things we wanted in our lives.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

It took me a long time to let Modest Mouse grow on me, but they did. Now I love the voice I used to cringe at haha. Their lyrics are always great.

[alysmily]

it makes sense if you read the lyrics and think about it

[threesuperpups]

Pure Isaak..how could you not love it? Maybe if you're a poet you understand what the fuck he's saying. Thank God my brain is wired like his.

[looshkin66]

me too.

[XXXDukeManteeXXX]

This is the dumbest fucking comment I have ever seen. It's retard shit like this that worries me about young people.

[flyingfeatheredrat]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX Hey I know threesuperpups and she is a mad m.m. fan. A bit 2 hard on people who get high. Don't even know what she wrote. Gotta call her. She's not a young idiot either.She's a therapist.Not a retard!!! Have fun in m.m.land!

[XXXDukeManteeXXX]

Yeah, it figures. Most therapists are idiot retards who should never be taken seriously. I also can't take anyone serious who substitutes numbers for words. Have fun in retard land(Three Exclamation Points).

[KurtCantrell]

idiot retards? sounds like you're about five years old

[yamaha85number17]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX dude do you spend your days posting on modest mouse videos i have seen your comments on almost 4 different videos douche bag.

[Markau102]

@XXXDukeManteeXXX You are so obviously a kid, it's not even funny. Please make it a little harder for us? It's no fun this way.

[stillsearching556]

such a strange song...but i love it

[RaoulDuke220]

the weirdness adds to the beauty of this song weirdman.

[WierdmanProductions]

they're songs have gotten so weird lol

[Evanss31]

my friend. modest mouse has always been beautifully weird. i dont know if you listened to them before float on...

[DanManFlan]

That's what people used to say about The Beatles.

[tinhelmetbuddha]

have you heard their old stuff? lol now that's some weird shtuff friend

[mtb416]

You're right. Weird. I listen to anything I like. Can't get into this one though.

[CaptainMacMuffin]

haha I love how cute it sounds. Modest Mouse always makes my heart skip a beat when I listne to them.

[mtb416]

This reminds me of "Don't Pass Me By"

[kknowyouronion]

really!? how!? don't pass me by..don't make me cry... i don't see it :)

[mtb416]

It certainly has a Ringo flare to it. Just saying. Perhaps it will grow on me? I do love MM so we shall see.

[grytar9]

great song love it. :)

[skater5091]

I would have to say i love all of their music, there is not one bad song. I thought I use to hate their newer stuff after good news, but it all kind of evolved and grew on me. I dig this album.

[looshkin66]

i agree.....m.m. can do no wrong in my book.

[ronaldmcmodel]

this sounds like it should be sold at starbucks.

[PolemicArts]

do you even understand this song

[ThommyTwoPence]

One of my greatest inspirations for making music. God I love the intermingling charm of finesse and calculated chaos.

[theresalynn36]

Who in their right mind could hate Isaac?!?!  Oh, man....I LOVE that lisp!!!!!

[BlueBootSunshineToo]

Just bought this CD. Listened to it all the way home. You never disappoint, Modest Mouse.

[posadarules]

hippy

[jennysmomma]

Holy shit people was what I said really that big of a deal? I said it sometimes annoys me but I still like the band. I am sure you don't like every single song that this band has. A true fan doesn't so screw off I don't care if you like what I say. People state their opinions on how much they like the song so what's wrong with stating mine?

[yamaha85number17]

@jennysmomma because nobody loves you or something. i like all their songs am i not a true fan? i just think every song has it's own unique thing about it so yeah fuck you even if it was 8 months ago fuck you.

[Eifler121]

@jennysmomma I like every song by most bands I listen to.

[outlwdragon]

@Eifler121 LIES

[Eifler121]

@outlwdragon What? How can you say I'm lying. It is a personal opinion, and it's true.

[outlwdragon]

@Eifler121 lol ;D

[Zetax22]

well FUCKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!! don't post it here! your obviously looking for a fight?

[coltonhagan]

never will i ever complain about isaac brock's voice... but of course everyone has an opinion. lol

[TobascohotlikeMM]

well ur obviously messed up then. who CANT like issac?? id like to see YOU sing as crazy-ass awsome as him :P

[looshkin66]

we all love isaac and co.

[cheaptequila17]

i'm sure there are plenty of people who dislike isaac. they just happen to also be retarded and lack taste.

[MusicLive4Ever]

Lol well put

[looshkin66]

I could not of said it better myself......

[mushfry]

@cheaptequila17 agreed!!!!! haha

[Texaskids]

opinions were meant to be voiced.

[looshkin66]

well voice them elsewhere.

[DifferantProd]

well then why the fuck are you posting that shit here keep that shit to yourself, no one wants to hear that we all love this band and Isaac Brock's voice is sooo fucking awesome, so STFU!!!!

[verradain]

wow....

[TheReptilianElite]

@jennysmomma his voice is awesome!

[Crowmolf]

Love.

[beatledudeJPRG]

WE ALL TRY HARDER AS THE DAYS RUN OUT!!!

[EamonJgod]

They're like the bizzaro world beatles.

[onemancomedy]

i like to pretend that MM is the modern day Beatles
