And I'm not talking about "Good News for People who Love Bad News." I'm talking about REAL Modest Mouse.

what hath lynyrd skynyrd wrought? i think that most of what comes out of nashville these days is what would have been called pop music 25 or 30 years ago, crap maybe, but i find the evolution interesting. certainly a lot of  music, no matter what label it's given,has the bottom line of how much cash it's going to bring in, if the person singing it has that attitude or not, and that always waters the music down to it's lowest common denominator. a lot of music i ignore if i don't like it, country or not, even among "artists" that i like. it does seem as if you have to wade through a lot of fluff until you hear something you like, or are turned on to some good music by somebody.  but i'm sure the crap sounds good to some people, and that's okay if i don't get it, as i'm sure a lot of people don't get the first set of the dead at winterland, sf 12/29/77. but yeah, i could do without a song that is nothing more than a sports chant, that's like writing "someone's knocking on the door, someone's ringing the bell."

NO, that's so cynical. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I thought the news was wonderful. This will make a real difference. Maybe, just maybe this heralds the start of a new type of status...

This is a question for music, not politics\n\nBut Sup Pop records has pumped out some good bands, like Nirvana

They are a pretty good band.

It's considered alternative rock

Because the media is just one-sided and won't tell you all the good that is going on. Good news doesn't sell like bad news.

I know what you mean about labelling, but with this band, there are a few genres that come to mind: Blues, rock and a little of punk. Some bands are easier to put into a genre, others aren't. That's what's great about music--unfortunately so many people get bogged down with labels and stuff that they forget about the actual music. It's all, "i only listen to rock" or "if you listen to them you're emo" and stuff like that. The White Stripes are cool because they're unique and unite different genres.

Rock beats rap, easily.  I don't need to hear about how much money some fool has, how many bi*ches he's f*cked, or how many people they've shot.  I'd rather listen to a song with even the slightest bit of substance to it.

Don't look at mainstream music when you judge what people put out today(or at least not a lot of mainstream stuff).\nThere were a lot of bad bands back in the day, and there are many now. People just get mediocre semi-talented bands thrust into their ears every day through a monopolized radio and TV. People have an incredible tool (in the internet) to find new interesting music but don't use it at all. Bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, Explosions in the Sky, The Decemberists, Wolf parade, The Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Sigur Ros, Broken Social Scene, Regina Spektor, Final Fantasy, the Tragically Hip, Stars rarely get any media attention(Except some of the above in canadian media where they come from like the Hip). Sure, the listed music isn't for everyone, but I find it as great as a lot of the oldies like kraftwerk, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Earth Wind & Fire, etc.\n\n\nIn short, music publicized in today's media is pretty crappy. You have to delve around to find the good stuff.

Death Cab, not so cheesy, better music, it's not as muc of a pop band as an indie.

Green Day is pretty old school, and their music is better from their earlier albums. Green Day has been around forever, though, and they had a great influence on Blink 182. I think Blink 182 can never get old. Their songs are so funny, and the lyrics are great. "I Miss You" has really depressing lyrics, but "Feeling This " gives you the hyped-up kind of attitude. This means that they can easily vary their lyrics, which is really good. As for Good Charlotte, they minus well be dead. When's the last time you heard from them? Hilary Duff totally changed Joel Madden, and the band hasn't been the same ever since he started dating her. Billy actually quit the band. The fray is more mellow, and they're not really my style. Panic! at the disco is really awesome, they're like falloutboy, just with better (and hotter) band members, and better lyrics. Everything you listen to seems to be good.

It is a cute song.  It is clean and tells a story.  Nothing wrong with it.  Could be realistic enough.  A lot of rap songs tell story's this one is clean, not a lot of rude cursing in it.  Doesn't promote anything that isn't already real it the world one way or the other.  Just tells a cute story.  I like it.

I don't. In fact, I find it cool. It's totally inspiring that Christian bands are penetrating the mainstream music scene. It's one way of spreading Jesus.
