Is it me or does Modest Mouse sound just like the Talking HEads...

I just played And She Was right after Float On...

1. I think it's just you n/t

[Dookus]

2. probably just you

I've heard them a bit and they didn't strike me as Talking Head-ish. They're playing at a small club here soon - I may go see them. I'll let you know then.

3. Really, play thise two next to each other....

The vocals, the intonations, the song structure.....

Nothing wrong with having a strong influence......

The Talking Heads are a great band.....

When we played out in the late 80's, the TH were a major influence....

I've seen them live three times on TV and they don't reallyu come off that well....

Hope they are better live live.....

4. Another Vote For "Just You"

There's a certain quality of monotony in both MM and early TH, but other than that, they're not much alike musically or lyrically. (Acutal mileage may vary.)

5. Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

Seems like they went for that vibe on the studio recording.

6. That, plus the Pixies.

And the Didjits.
