YouTube - Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty

YouTube - Modest Mouse - The World at Large

Am I the only one that realises that these are just two variations of the same goddamn song?

They're songs are similar... They're not the same, what I posted were two takes on the same f*cking melody... The only band that comes close to being that uncreative is Nickelback.

Stealing your own melody>Stealing other people melodies.

Actually no... Borrowing from other artists is a long held musical tradition... Classical composers have been known to "quote" other pieces of music into their own, Jazz musicians improvise over popular melodies without giving credit to the original musicians, and blues guitarists steal licks from each other all the time... Add on to that the fact that most punk bands ripped off garage bands and most Indie bands nowadays rip off post-punk bands. Your idea of attacking one band you don't like because they're known to take melodies they have heard and improvise around it is just a pure example of selectivism. Am I being selectivist now? You bet, because I think ripping off yourself (and on the same damn album) and in such a blatently obvious way is just the epitomy of lame. I also hate Modest Mouse.

I'm usually above the whole "coming to a band thread just to talk trash about them" thing, but since you're not, then you probably wont mind.

I don't see how you think its fine to steal a melody from another artist but taking one from YOUR OWN song is unacceptable. Quit being a biased pretentious fucktard.

I can't actually remember the last time you started a thread about a band.

Scrub that I just looked .... MBV , Yes & King Crimson. In 2 years & 4000 odd posts.

"Blame it on the Tetons" by Modest Mouse is a blatant rip-off of the melody of "Unwind" by Sonic Youth. Not that I care, although I don't like BiotT.

I like Modest Mouse. The Moon and Antarctica is my favourite album by them

Modest Mouse fanart, I call it "We looked like we were photographed at gunpoint so I had to laugh."
