MOJO

Has Anyone Seen My MOJO?

I will be the first to admit it, I lost my MOJO! I am here today declaring that yes I am without MOJO. I don't know what happened? I think when you sort of let yourself go physically, as well mentally, your MOJO disappears? What is MOJO? Well I think it differs from person to person. To me it's a certain swagger, a confidence if you will. Now, I can say that I do believe that I am on the right track in reclaiming my MOJO, which is good! So why write about it? Well it's more of a personal journey, ones "pursuit of happiness", but at the same time I felt that it needs to be shared. So, with that said I am on a mission, a mission I cannot fail, and if I succeed-which I will, and my MOJO has been reclaimed, look out-I may just surprise you!

FORE!!

It has been a long winter but today I heard the sound that every golf enthusiast dreams to hear as that ball hits the bottom of the cup! A spectacular eighty degrees in Milwaukee today, and the crowds were out. My buddy Wegs and I only got in nine holes, but it was well worth it, even if the play was a bit slow. I didn't perform the greatest but I did get my first birdie of the year. Bad play was the least from our minds, and soon had us coining the phrase "It's just good to be out here". Take advantage of these nice days, because I'm afraid they aren't completely here to stay yet? Gotta go, but like my dad always says "Remember to keep your head down".

Modest Mouse "WE WERE DEAD BEFORE THE SHIP EVEN SANK" released Tuesday March 20th

Rolling Stone:

Wrapping a wordy, darkly whimsical title around a bunch of songs many will find catchy and none will find pretty, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank takes after Modest Mouse's other four albums, even with guitarist Johnny Marr added to the equation. Like everything the band has released since signing with Epic in the teeth of a millennial panic, it's louder and somewhat less twisty than the group's indie output.

Luke Eshleman:

I have been very Patient with this albums release date, after months of twisted rumors Modest Mouse's eagerly fifth album has finally arrived!

First off, Johnny Marr (Smith's guitarist) on any album is worth it's price of admission, as well as his influence on tracks like "Florida". I have not listened to the complete album, but am well into it. Of course "Dashboard" (first single) which has been on airwaves for awhile, is such a true melodic mouse track. Also "missed the boat" which is a bit more relaxed but lyrically is simply sweet. Modest Mouse has the ingredients for greatness, and are well on their way. Along with their song construction, their CD sleeve construction is second to none-really great! So Pick it up, you will be struck by great indie sound...
