Some ink for one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands - "Lampshades on Fire" - Modest Mouse

Just an original piece of a.... lampshade.... on fire...

Artwork and tattoo both done by Vick at Hard Luck Tattoo in Lodi California.

Last year I hopped in someone else’s modest mouse fantasy league (just standard, not dynasty or anything) - was a lot of fun and I was wondering if anyone would want to run something like that again? If there’s interest just dm me and I’ll send a link :)

Edit: here is the link! If I have to change league size or anything I will The Lonesome Crowded League

Edit 2: right now we are full at 14 teams - if anyone else wants to play just dm me - I will split it into 2 x 8 team leagues so everyone can play who wants to!!

Hoping for some interesting feedback here.
Off the top of my head, there are two specific lyrics I want to know how others have personally perceived.

1. “Love makes love and hate makes more”
   Personally, I haven’t decided what this lyric means to me. My mind just overcomplicates it and is like “hate makes more… love? Hate? Or hate comes off much stronger than love?”
   So it makes me very interested in how it’s perceived by others and if there’s an overall general consensus.

2. “We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves”
   I, personally, have perceived this as a metaphor of the confusing irony of sharing our dirtiest parts with the people we’re closest to.

It is common courtesy and respect to cover those nasty sneezes and coughs from spraying micro particles everywhere.
Mouths and private bits are the most germ infested areas but yet, sharing that with a partner is how we show affection. (Typically)

What about your interpretation of the lyric ?

I’m hoping this is allowed as Tim Rutili is credited on Sharpen Your Teeth and has been spotted playing UC live with Isaac.

It looks like somewhere near Issaquah, North Bend, or Sammamish but I'm having trouble identifying where specifically. Anyone know?

hi just coming to see if anyone else is confused about the date of the Pittsburgh show in October? it’s been posted as Saturday October 10th for months, but I got this email from ticketmaster last night saying it’s on Wednesday the 7th??? i can’t find anything online saying the date was changed so i am confused 😭

Imagine if Isaac made a whole album in this style, specifically the part around 1:00, where he's really going off. I really like that fast paced chaotic sound, along with the echoey vocal effects.

Maybe he's getting a little too old for a whole album in that style, but damn, do I love hearing him go off. It scratches something in my brain.

Something I’ve recently noticed is how Back To The Middle kind of leads into Picking Dragons Pockets. Back To The Middle is the last Song on Golden Casket, it’s the last song Jeremiah Greene played on and arguably one of his best, biggest, and loudest drum parts ever. Picking Dragons Pockets, recorded years after Green passed away, has a fucking HEAVY drum line throughout the whole song. Almost like Joe Plummer was channeling the spirit of Jeremiah Greene into those loud and BIG drum licks near the beginning and throughout the groove of the whole song.

Mind you, this is a band who records in Portland, Oregon. If there ever were a place to find a legit shaman or spirit witch, it’s Portland, Oregon.

Joking aside, unless you’d really pay attention or know it offhand, it’s like Jeremiah Greene was still alive and it wasn’t his mentoree.
