1. The greatest band to ever grace the earth
2. A band fronted by Isaac Brock, one of the best songwriters of our time, who is completely psychotic and wonderful
Have your heard the modest mouse song "tundra/desert"? that song rocks the shitbox man.

I don't claim to understand what occurs inside of the mind of Isaac Brock.

1. A great band led by Isaac Brock. Brock also did Ugly Cassanova. Though they have many many great songs, some dumbass people have described them as emo - which is COMPLETELY false and retarded. I am afraid, too, that they will be considered a one-hit-wonder in the future because their only hit has so far been Float On.
Hey, have you heard of Modest Mouse?

Yeah, they did Float On, right?

You go to hell. *puches buddy in face, then groin*
