Once again, a television advertisement caught my ear just as I was starting to beeep-boop with the TiVo remote: the warped guitars, lyrics, and vocals of Modest Mouse praising a Nissan minivan of some sort, while soccer moms (literally!) cavorted gleefully. Sunny dispositions and a minivan do not jive with the pub-brawling, morphine-dampened-singing, battered-blue-van-touring of Modest Mouse.
Nissan are trying to promote a subversive image? This is weak doublespeak! Then again, Modest MouseSony are no longer "indie".
Riding a fixed-gear bicycle exhilarates me.
