Sun Kil Mouse

Sun Kil Moon is the good.
Modest Mouse is also the good.
So Sun Kil Moon covering Modest Mouse should be the good, right?
For the most part. I loved the 'Tiny Cities' album at first, but the novelty's worn off a little. But, still well worth a listen, despite the fact that Pitchfork hated it. So now everyone hates it. Bunch of zombies, you are.

Anyway, here's the title track.

Sun Kil Moon - Tiny Cities Made of Ashes

(And, yes, I know on the other, now dead and/or dying site, I said how good this album was, even going as far as to say that the cover of 'Neverending Math Equation' made the original obsolete. That was a stupid, stupid thing of me to say. I got caught up in the simplicity of it all. Two chords, good melody, catchy bridge... what's not to like? But then you go back to the original, with it's being all over the place.. and... freaking Modest Mouse. Hopefully they get back to form after Good News. Which most people liked. It's alright. But it's got nothing on their older stuff. Nothing! (Moon/Antarctica, I'm looking in your general direction).)

Ah.. the good ol' parenthesised parenthesis. You know it's a good, coherent, blog when....

Top 25 coming soon. Tell your friends. Posting songs is gonna be a lot of legwork, so I might get the list up first, and then work on songs from there. Or I might not. Finals suxxx0r5!!!11!!

Oh yeah. Most people like Sufjan. Most people are right. So most people should pay MOKB a visit, where they've got an entire Sufjan concert.
