Get the modest mouse mug.Modest Mouse is, to be quite honest, the greatest band of all time.
They hail from Issaquah, Washington, and are fronted by Isaac Brock, who, despite being raised in a trailer park, has written some of the greatest lyrics in music.
They became widely known when, in 2004, they released Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which is more upbeat than their earlier work, and it's songs (Ocean Breathes Softly and Float On) began being played by every radio station in the US, at least one an hour.

Get the modest mouse mug.A city in Northern California; aka as Motown or The Mo population estimated of 200,000+ One of the best places to live if your chill, outgoing, down & just like to kick back. Nobody will judge you as long as you keep it real & mind your own business. The area code is 209 & the city is mainly over runned by Nortenos & street gangs that you would rather avoid unless you want problems. You'll find any type of drug you want. Downtown- comes alive at night, they have brenden theatre, studio 47, hsn, bars, clubs, restaurants & hella taco trucks. Westside- (WSM) the ghetto, where most black population live, liquor stores, shootings, hobos but alot of the gangster kickbacks, the place to get that sticky green & chill if you like to drink up. Eastside- (ESM) where most of the rich whites & asians stay at. Northside- (NSM) aka the Nasty North. Has the known village to gangsters & also the descent side, has the mall, the runs, always layed back alot of house partys. Southside- (DSSM) aka Deep, where most Latino population stay at, alot of crackheads, they got the fleamarket, taco trucks & hella bomb mexican restaurants. Salida- aka The Cuts, part of Northside, nothing goes on but its a nice, quite place to live. Modesto 209
Example one- Let's hit the runs in northside, pick up some brew at westside market, swoop my boy in eastside, go grub in deep & get some bitches downtown nigga.
Example two: Omg look at all those gangsters kicking it at the park. Oh here comes a chola wearing sweats, hair up & walking fast, she's about to fight! That's how females do in the 209. Talk sh*t get hit.
Example three: Damn that guy must be from the east because he's fine as f*ck/ damn that girl has to be from northside because she hella fine.
Example four: Ay homie, you hear about the fight? That white guy got his sh*t split for dissing Modesto. That's right! Because that's how we get down in the Mo.
