Phenomenal Video Saturday: Modest Mouse

Can you imagine that it was five years ago when this was recorded? I feel so old. And I’m not so old, which makes it weirder that I feel that way.

Whatever. This is a live performance of Modest Mouse’s “The World At Large” that seems to have aired on PBS in 2005. It’s a solid performance all around, even of a song that’s not as loved as some of the band’s other stuff, but the thing that puts it over the top is the fact that Isaac Brock decides to smoke a cigarette while singing. Isn’t that just so, so fitting? I think it is. Good man.
