£29 is like $45 if I remember correctly. I know what you mean about Floyds, I love the things you can do if you have one but the maintenence is just awful. Changing strings mid-gig would be a nightmare.
And yeah, the later Modest Mouse stuff (their last two albums) are that kind of Killers/Franz Ferdinand early 2000's indie, but their earlier stuff (which is the best stuff IMO) is almost like a space-rock Pixies type thing with the sprawling Sonic Youth-y guitar epics. Their third album, The Moon & Antarctica, is one of my favourite albums, that's when they got the recording budget to do properly spacey stuff and it's just amazing. Great songwriting, great textures and guitar playing, and their bassist is one of the best I've heard. Their first two are more raw and punky production-wise, but still both epic.
Wow! Thank you. You said many keywords to grab my attention. Pixies, sonic youth, and epic! ha
I knew you liked the pixies without meeting you. I know you like the pumpkins and if so, the pixies are all over that. Billy can't help but sneak some pixies stuff in his work. Did you read where i posted about the free pixies live cd by joining their mailing list. It's a great set and it's free. I say cd but it's a download. Thanks again, if you don't mind we can revisit modest mouse after i listen a few times.
I know i've derailed a thread again, it's never intentional.
45 dollars? yeah...great buy. It cost me that in gas to go buy a guitar. Thats 5 dollars more than a ds-1. ha ha
I'll take that any day of the week.
In that case congrats and they may have a warrant for you stealing that guitar.
