also, Mark Kotreva invited a comparison between "float on" and Franz Ferdinand's "take me out." (download that if you haven't. also "the dark of the matinee" is good. and "jacqueline.") actually, Alan Newton noticed the similarity first, and got pissed off at F.F. for copying his beloved M.M.
if you watch the videos, they are also practically identical.
I love the drum intro to "float on," how it goes from being calm from "the world at large" and takes a simliar beat, only rougher.
B93.7 they were doing some countdown thing. "Float On" was at #5 or #4 i think. i'll have to download the Franz Ferdinand-ness! grr, the copying is not cool. haha, i don't know if i get the Modest Mouse video...cause normally when i see sheep going into a barn like that, they're just being sheered. however, that video seemed to insinuate that they were to be slaughtered. and i'm like what the hell? who eats sheep? and then my sister ate lamb kebobs last night.
in my experience they don't take them into a barn to be slaughtered. they take one at a time into a little shed that looks like an outhouse from the outside and put a hose on the ground so there is running water and then cut off its head and throw it in a barrel and then break its legs and cut off the skin and pull out all the organs and throw it all in the barrel too. hooray!
however, i doubt the modest mouse guys would know much about the intricacies of farming anyway so the insinuation still holds, i suppose.
