Modest Mouse - Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes - Pitchfork '10

[thefearedESK]

seeing jim look at isaac at the beginning. and you know isaac was looking back. its cool to see them communicate as musicians like that...when to start singing..

[xBillyTheKidx]

is that really isaac brock? doesn't look like him.

[lawrence096]

@xBillyTheKidx thats Jim fairchild i think, he plays guitar with MM live and does backing vocals.

[Zealant]

@stephsanchezzz Johnny Marr didn't kill Modest Mouse any more than Isaac Brock killed Modest Mouse. He chose to expand Modest Mouse by incorporating different instruments and hiring certain musicians. Sorry you don't like it.

[freddyss14]

@Zealant Isaac Brock didn't kill Modest MOuse because he chose to expand the band, the sound with all this musicians is great. I think if they returned to play (like in this video and compose the kind of songs of their firsts albums, Modest Mouse would be amazing

[Guercinator]

That guy playing keyboard does NOT look like Tom Peloso! He looks like my awesome music teacher Mr. Filo!

[terrorandtorment]

What band is this? Not Modest Mouse!

[JDC1316]

@terrorandtorment Pretty sure that it is Modest Mouse :) ...not like it's my favorite band in the wide world or anything.

[terrorandtorment]

@JDC1316 You missed my point.. I was commenting on how much they have changed. I prefer the 3 or 4 piece Modest Mouse..

[JDC1316]

@terrorandtorment I didn't miss your point. I was just being a smartass :D Everyone likes different things...I just happen to love EVERYTHING about Modest Mouse. I love the old, new, and in between!!!

[xXxFaLLeNxShaDoWxXx]

easly best time of my life

[SeanOCasey10]

I was so glad they opened with this song. It's sad Johnny Marr is no longer involved in this.

[stephsanchezzz]

@SeanOCasey10 you're a fucking idiot. johnny marr killed modest mouse. original 3 is all I'm saying.

[SeanOCasey10]

@stephsanchezzz I'm a fucking idiot because I like Johnny Marr? Weird.

[hensly77]

@SeanOCasey10 I like Johnny Mar added alot didnt at first grew on me now gone

[MrEpiclylaterd]

The guy that's not Tom is Jim Fairchild from Granndaddy fame. I wished they were still together but at least he's still playing music & with MM no less.

[TheSeeker333]

Show was amazing

[sillyredhead515]

does anyone know why tom peloso wasnt there and that weird old guy was?

[webbstock613]

@sillyredhead515 my question exactly.

[sillyredhead515]

@webbstock613 whats weird is that ive seen that guy touring with them before. hes played horns for them on a few songs. but why wasnt tom there? hes like one of the coolest members of the band. and does anyone know if theres any official video? i know they had cameras and a live feed.

[MrEpiclylaterd]

@sillyredhead515 - Tom wrote some music & is taking it on tour on his own. I heard he was touring this fall. I think the guys haven't really found out what direction they want the new album to go in. I'm sure when they figure it out Tom will be back in the picture.

Also Pitchfork needs to release the video footage from previous years. Why would they horde all that music? The least they can do is give you a DVD with the $250 ticket price.

[beardedbroccoli]

Show was the shiiiiiiize

[franFRANNYfrances]

yeah awesome show. ha had a great time, and i know everyone else did too.

[TakeAPenny]

@webbstock: I saw them two weeks ago and was blown away. They played Trailer Trash, Doin the Cockroach, King Rat, 3rd Planet and fucking Talking Shit about a Pretty Sunset. How they managed to completely ignore their audience confuses me.

[SargentLee]

best show ever drove from VA to get there and well worth it

[Florasification]

Holy shit what a great show. Great opening song. Fucking glad we got the opportunity to go see this.

[webbstock613]

1st anyone upset with that set or performance should just not bother seeing modest mouse, there is nothing they can do better then friday short of playing all of the moon and antarctica. 2nd johnny is no longer in the band deal with it, he was only in the band for 2 years he didnt even write this song so how is his part missing? when tiny cities was first wrote it was isaac, eric, and jeremiah.

[TakeAPenny]

Sub par set. With such a great opener I was disappointed that they did soooo little of their old material.

[partiallymeghoe]

I was there! To the right and little back from the stage. It was worth it!

[enjoiskating6]

nope johnny was not thier. His part in this song live is missing... its a bad ass rhythm part and i did not hear it :(.

[xXxFaLLeNxShaDoWxXx]

i was there hehehehhe

[Crede06]

Johnny Marr: There or not?
