There's something uniquely captivating about the way Modest Mouse balances hope and despair. On their breakthrough 2004 album "Good News for People Who Love Bad News," the Seattle-based band created a remarkable collection that propelled them from indie darlings to mainstream success without sacrificing their distinctive sound.
Lead singer Isaac Brock's vocals—alternating between Harry Carey-esque drawls and Bobcat Goldthwait-style frantic outbursts—provide the perfect vehicle for lyrics that explore life's darkness while occasionally surfacing for gulps of optimistic air. The hit single "Float On" might have been what introduced many listeners to the band, but diving deeper into the album reveals a treasure trove of equally compelling tracks.
Water imagery flows throughout the record, from "Ocean Breathes Salty" to the recurring theme of floating versus sinking. These aquatic metaphors perfectly capture the album's central tension: how do we stay afloat when life threatens to pull us under? Songs like "The View" surprise with disco-influenced rhythms, while "Bukowski" embraces a nihilistic perspective with surprisingly catchy instrumentation including banjo and horns.
What makes this album endure nearly two decades later is its unflinching honesty about life's challenges coupled with moments of unexpected beauty. The delicate string arrangements on "Blame It on the Tetons" provide a stunning counterpoint to the raw energy of tracks like "Bury Me With It." It's this willingness to explore contrasts—between hope and despair, between punk roots and pop sensibilities—that makes the album such a compelling listen from start to finish.
Have you revisited this album lately? We'd love to hear which non-hit tracks resonated with you most. Sometimes the songs that didn't make radio playlists contain the most profound truths about staying afloat when bad news threatens to drag us down.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Harry Carey here from the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right, thank you for listening to the Greatest
Non-Hits.
I'm Chris and playing Float Onfrom the album Good News for
People who Love Bad News is myco-host Tim.
From the album Good News forPeople who Love Bad News is my
co-host Tim.
This is the band Modest Mousefrom that album.
It came out in 2004, and it'sreally what propelled them to
(00:37):
fame later on.
One interesting thing about thisalbum regards the drummer,
jeremiah Green, founding membermember.
However, this is the only albumthat he's never drummed on.
I guess there was somethinggoing on and I read about it
earlier and I've completelyforgotten.
We'll probably get back to thatlater.
There was some, maybe even some, drama involved in that, but
(01:01):
anyway, uh, great album, good,look good drummer, as Nigel
Tufnell would say.
Anyway, the first three songsare hits.
There's a song Float On thatTim is playing.
It was their big one.
There's another one OceanBreathes, salty and the World at
(01:23):
Large.
All three of those werereleased as singles, so the
band's early days, I think, wereback in 1992 to 1999.
They kind of start off as likea kind of a punk band and
probably inspired my nirvana.
They're a seattle by and large,a seattle bass band.
(01:45):
Issaquah, washington, I thinkis what it's.
Yeah, issaquah washington.
Now they're based in portland.
Uh, the founding members wereisaac brock and that kind of
explains like the, uh, the harrycarey, uh a lot of things
happened and, uh, isaac Brock,the lead singer.
(02:08):
from my point of view kind ofsounds a little bit of a cross
between Harry Carey and, I'd say, bobcat Goldthwait.
Got it screams, what about my?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
wife.
My wife is so fat.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, thank you, bobcat, but anyway, the guy's
voice is a little bit out thereand the band is out there, but
he sings in a charming way and Iget it and it's good stuff.
So it's going to be a greatalbum, a great show.
We've got great clips.
(02:44):
They're funny.
We's going to be a great album,a great show.
We've got great clips, they'refunny.
We're going to have a blast.
Tim's excited.
He loves this band.
The members, current membersIsaac Brock, tom Peloso, russell
Higby, ben Massarella, simonO'Connor, damon Cox.
On the album the personnel wasIsaac Brock, eric Judy on bass
(03:12):
guitar, dan Gallucci, who wasalso a guitar player, benjamin
Weichel was on drums he's theguy who replaced the original
guy and Tom Peloso stand-up bass.
So it's like these names.
(03:32):
They sound like my fantasyfootball team a little bit.
You know that was anotherobservation that I had when I
was just kind of looking throughall this.
But yeah, they're growing on me.
It wasn't my you they're theywere.
They weren't always my go-to,so to speak, but uh, not bad,
this is the first album was kindof poppy, you know.
(03:53):
They're back in their day.
They were a little more altrock, you know, went into some
other things, punk, you know, inthat seattle vein back in the
day, this is 2004.
They've made it big now.
It's a good album too.
(04:13):
I dug it Like we always do.
We're going to list all thesongs and then give you the
ranking of our top threenon-hits at the very end.
I have a couple that I'mleaning towards.
Right now I won't say, but youknow who the winners and losers
(04:35):
are.
Now there's like 16 tracks alltogether, but I think three or
four of them at least are kindof fillers, even like under one
minute, and all the songs arejust kind of hit.
You know there's it's only 48minutes in length, 49 almost.
So like it's a lot of songs, butthey're all short.
(04:56):
So you know, we'll get throughit, it'll be, it'll be good
they're, they're fun, fun thingshere.
So, oh, that was nice, it was anice way to wrap it up there.
Um, what else can I say aboutthis?
Um, it's kind of dark, it'skind of sullen a little bit.
(05:19):
You know, melancholy is isthrown around, and I, I can see
that like if you're kind of in abad mood, or if you're in a bad
mood right now, just uh, we'llhave fun, we'll uh, we'll make
it light, you know, but it is.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It is for the, you know, you know and I got to tell
you folks, being dead isfantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
No, that's the wrong message.
We're trying to say theopposite.
So anyway, with that in mind,let's turn it over to Tim.
Tim, how you doing bud?
Oh, we're doing good.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
We're doing good here .
Good, yes, this is a littlehope versus despair, despair
versus hope.
That's right.
You know, I don't know it's,it's a lot of things.
And you're spot on with the uh,the harry carrey and the bobcat
.
That's, that's good all right,all right, all right, it's yeah,
(06:18):
this band is their trajectorymaybe started out punk, but it's
pop punk they're.
They're pushing the envelope to, to palatability of punk, you
know, and there's so many things.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Well, maybe they're evolving at this point in time
and they're learning thebusiness part of it and they're
learning just how to blenddifferent genres and that part
of it, and they're learning justhow to blend different genres.
And that that seems to be a bigtheme in this decade is these
bands that are trying not toreinvent music but to maybe take
in good elements of a lot ofdifferent styles of music, and
(07:00):
this band does it in a veryclever way.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They really do, and they do a lot of tweaking of the
studio stuff.
They add a little bit ofexpertise, I would say, on the
soundboard, yeah, yeah,subtleties.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, it is.
I was going to say that I thinkit was produced really well.

I've seen so many ships sailingjust to head back out again and

God, I've got water and I knowyou can carry on.
Shrugged off, short-sighted,false assignment.

I got fed up with all that LSD.
There were no drugs involved.
I never know what she's doing.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
I'm on no sleep.
Speaker 2 (55:36):
That was clever.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
Late nights with no no sleep.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
That was clever.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
No sleep.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
You let one ant stand up.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
How do you like?
Speaker 2 (56:01):

Speaker 2 (56:23):
There you go and just piss the bartender off.
So bad.
Speaker 6 (56:26):
Oh my God, that's it.
Yeah, they're just like whatare you doing, Doing?
Speaker 2 (56:34):
Doing Like sit there and make a couple plays on it.
Speaker 6 (56:37):
You're like oh my God , it's a hundred year old bottle
.
You look a little stressed.
Oh, I'm stressed.
I mean the bite to it is, it'snot.
I'm more of a cocktail guy thana hard liquor drinking it
(57:01):
straight kind of guy.
I don't know, I'll do it, but Ilike the old fashioned.
Speaker 2 (57:09):
It's probably a better way to take your medicine
.
Speaker 6 (57:15):
Do you need that to have a good time?
Speaker 2 (57:18):
No, you know it's a risk for me.
I mean depending on how muchyou drink.
Speaker 6 (57:25):
Sometimes, you can't A risk for 99% of people and a
lot of people yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
All right, so I guess we got through it.
Okay, there we go.
So yeah, we got another one ofthe books.
Now we got to do our top three.
Speaker 6 (57:42):
Let's go to the list here okay, here's the list.
Speaker 2 (57:43):
Here you go.
Speaker 6 (57:44):
I'm gonna go um what's your number three.
I like Bury Me With it.
I think that had a.
That's my number three.
Okay, it's sort of um back intothat punk sort of darkness, but
it was also very clever and um,just great melody and sort of
back into that punk sort ofdarkness, but it was also very
(58:04):
clever and just great melody.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, doesn't he get like really Harry Carey in that?
Speaker 6 (58:08):
Yeah, the screaming, the screaming, yeah, and that's
what he's about.
That's what I like about thisband is that when he goes kind
of vocally off, the rails Right,which is the fun part about
this band.
I don't always keep itcurtailed.
You don't even know whatthey're talking about, which is
like it's ambiguous a lot of thetimes.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
I agree, I agree.
My number three is going to bethat last one.
We heard the Good Times AreKilling Me.
Speaker 6 (58:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (58:37):
I thought it was, I don't know.
I just thought it was.
Uh, I just thought it was.
It was clever, it was had anice little melody to it.
So that'll be my number threeokay.
Speaker 6 (58:50):
Um, you know, number two for me blame it on the
tetons, the outro okay and thethe raw, like sort of
delicateness of of it was a goodjuxtaposition to a lot of their
harder punker songs it was oneof the better songs on this
(59:13):
album.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
Yeah, it was.
That was a bubble.
I want to know what Tetons are.
Speaker 6 (59:17):
I want to know what Tetons are.
It's kind of a weird title.
Blame it on the Tetons.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
Well, in Yellowstone National Park they have the
Teton Mount, yes, so I mean, Idon't know if that's the number
one thing that comes to mind,for me, I mean now like women's
breasts, have been referred toas Tetons.
The Tetons, so I don't know ifthey're, you know they're using
it in that crude of a fashionand that's what they're saying
(59:45):
Like, blame it on.
Like, whatever his heartbreakis, blame it on the Tetons.
Speaker 6 (59:52):
Blame it on Jane Fonda's Tetons, you know.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Maybe that's who he's referring to.
Speaker 6 (59:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
Maybe it's come full circle with our sound clip.
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
I don't know Joy.
Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
I made out with Jane Fonda, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
So I'm going to go.
Am I number two?
I'm going to go, Bukowski.
Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
Nice yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Yeah, I just that wasn't.
He kind of goes off the rails alittle bit there too right,
just that wasn't he kind of goesoff the rails a little bit
there too right, he does.
Yep, it was just, uh, thenihilistic.
It was very nihilistic, andthat's what I liked about it,
and that's that's theirwheelhouse right there.
Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
So that's my number two okay, I'm going with the
view of our number one nosurprise, pop edge yeah I mean
the view.
Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, I really liked it it's my number one too,
because it cuts through the restof it.
It's sort of like a disco songyeah and the fact that they had
that range and they did it welland it just gives the whole.
It just gives more depth to thealbum okay and so, yeah, it was
(01:01:00):
just executed very well.
Also, good drumming Great look,good drummer.
Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
Yeah, a lot of the others are fillers and those, I
think, four.
We mentioned five.
Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
Are solid, solid songs other than the three that
are great, great, great hits.
Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
Float on being my favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Yeah, it's probably my favorite as well.
The World at Large is a closesecond, though, for me.
Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
I like Ocean Breeze Salty, slightly better than the
World at Large, maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Yeah, well, that's okay, man, that's where we
diverge.
We can't hit, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
I love the aquatic theme here and you know, water
is eternal.
We're made up of water.
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Yeah, put that into some deep context.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Way down, way just deeper and deeper, deeper and
deeper.
All right Bowtied.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yep, go-tied, and let's see Roll-tied, go-tied.
Okay, yep, go Tide and let'ssee Roll Tide, go Tide.
Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Are we putting a bow on this?
The water's cold.
Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Okay, all right, we're out of here.
Thanks for listening, guys,take care.
Harry Carey here from the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right, thank you for listening to the Greatest
Non-Hits.
I'm Chris and playing Float Onfrom the album Good News for
People who Love Bad News is myco-host Tim.
From the album Good News forPeople who Love Bad News is my
co-host Tim.
This is the band Modest Mousefrom that album.
It came out in 2004, and it'sreally what propelled them to
(00:37):
fame later on.
One interesting thing about thisalbum regards the drummer,
jeremiah Green, founding membermember.
However, this is the only albumthat he's never drummed on.
I guess there was somethinggoing on and I read about it
earlier and I've completelyforgotten.
We'll probably get back to thatlater.
There was some, maybe even some, drama involved in that, but
(01:01):
anyway, uh, great album, good,look good drummer, as Nigel
Tufnell would say.
Anyway, the first three songsare hits.
There's a song Float On thatTim is playing.
It was their big one.
There's another one OceanBreathes, salty and the World at
(01:23):
Large.
All three of those werereleased as singles, so the
band's early days, I think, wereback in 1992 to 1999.
They kind of start off as likea kind of a punk band and
probably inspired my nirvana.
They're a seattle by and large,a seattle bass band.
(01:45):
Issaquah, washington, I thinkis what it's.
Yeah, issaquah washington.
Now they're based in portland.
Uh, the founding members wereisaac brock and that kind of
explains like the, uh, the harrycarey, uh a lot of things
happened and, uh, isaac Brock,the lead singer.
(02:08):
from my point of view kind ofsounds a little bit of a cross
between Harry Carey and, I'd say, bobcat Goldthwait.
Got it screams, what about my?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
wife.
My wife is so fat.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, thank you, bobcat, but anyway, the guy's
voice is a little bit out thereand the band is out there, but
he sings in a charming way and Iget it and it's good stuff.
So it's going to be a greatalbum, a great show.
We've got great clips.
(02:44):
They're funny.
We's going to be a great album,a great show.
We've got great clips, they'refunny.
We're going to have a blast.
Tim's excited.
He loves this band.
The members, current membersIsaac Brock, tom Peloso, russell
Higby, ben Massarella, simonO'Connor, damon Cox.
On the album the personnel wasIsaac Brock, eric Judy on bass
(03:12):
guitar, dan Gallucci, who wasalso a guitar player, benjamin
Weichel was on drums he's theguy who replaced the original
guy and Tom Peloso stand-up bass.
So it's like these names.
(03:32):
They sound like my fantasyfootball team a little bit.
You know that was anotherobservation that I had when I
was just kind of looking throughall this.
But yeah, they're growing on me.
It wasn't my you they're theywere.
They weren't always my go-to,so to speak, but uh, not bad,
this is the first album was kindof poppy, you know.
(03:53):
They're back in their day.
They were a little more altrock, you know, went into some
other things, punk, you know, inthat seattle vein back in the
day, this is 2004.
They've made it big now.
It's a good album too.
(04:13):
I dug it Like we always do.
We're going to list all thesongs and then give you the
ranking of our top threenon-hits at the very end.
I have a couple that I'mleaning towards.
Right now I won't say, but youknow who the winners and losers
(04:35):
are.
Now there's like 16 tracks alltogether, but I think three or
four of them at least are kindof fillers, even like under one
minute, and all the songs arejust kind of hit.
You know there's it's only 48minutes in length, 49 almost.
So like it's a lot of songs, butthey're all short.
(04:56):
So you know, we'll get throughit, it'll be, it'll be good
they're, they're fun, fun thingshere.
So, oh, that was nice, it was anice way to wrap it up there.
Um, what else can I say aboutthis?
Um, it's kind of dark, it'skind of sullen a little bit.
(05:19):
You know, melancholy is isthrown around, and I, I can see
that like if you're kind of in abad mood, or if you're in a bad
mood right now, just uh, we'llhave fun, we'll uh, we'll make
it light, you know, but it is.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It is for the, you know, you know and I got to tell
you folks, being dead isfantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:44):

.
That's, that's good all right,all right, all right, it's yeah,
(06:18):
this band is their trajectorymaybe started out punk, but it's
pop punk they're.
They're pushing the envelope to, to palatability of punk, you
know, and there's so many things.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Well, maybe they're evolving at this point in time
and they're learning thebusiness part of it and they're
learning just how to blenddifferent genres and that part
of it, and they're learning justhow to blend different genres.
And that that seems to be a bigtheme in this decade is these
bands that are trying not toreinvent music but to maybe take
in good elements of a lot ofdifferent styles of music, and
(07:00):
this band does it in a veryclever way.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They really do, and they do a lot of tweaking of the
studio stuff.
They add a little bit ofexpertise, I would say, on the
soundboard, yeah, yeah,subtleties.

straight kind of guy.
I don't know, I'll do it, but Ilike the old fashioned.
Speaker 2 (57:09):
It's probably a better way to take your medicine
.
Speaker 6 (57:15):
Do you need that to have a good time?
Speaker 2 (57:18):
No, you know it's a risk for me.
I mean depending on how muchyou drink.
Speaker 6 (57:25):
Sometimes, you can't A risk for 99% of people and a
lot of people yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
All right, so I guess we got through it.
Okay, there we go.
So yeah, we got another one ofthe books.
Now we got to do our top three.
Speaker 6 (57:42):
Let's go to the list here okay, here's the list.
Speaker 2 (57:43):
Here you go.
Speaker 6 (57:44):
I'm gonna go um what's your number three.
I like Bury Me With it.
I think that had a.
That's my number three.
Okay, it's sort of um back intothat punk sort of darkness, but
it was also very clever and um,just great melody and sort of
back into that punk sort ofdarkness, but it was also very
(58:04):
clever and just great melody.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, doesn't he get like really Harry Carey in that?
Speaker 6 (58:08):
Yeah, the screaming, the screaming, yeah, and that's
what he's about.
That's what I like about thisband is that when he goes kind
of vocally off, the rails Right,which is the fun part about
this band.
I don't always keep itcurtailed.
You don't even know whatthey're talking about, which is
like it's ambiguous a lot of thetimes.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
I agree, I agree.
My number three is going to bethat last one.
We heard the Good Times AreKilling Me.
Speaker 6 (58:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (58:37):
I thought it was, I don't know.
I just thought it was.
Uh, I just thought it was.
It was clever, it was had anice little melody to it.
So that'll be my number threeokay.
Speaker 6 (58:50):
Um, you know, number two for me blame it on the
tetons, the outro okay and thethe raw, like sort of
delicateness of of it was a goodjuxtaposition to a lot of their
harder punker songs it was oneof the better songs on this
(59:13):
album.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
Yeah, it was.
That was a bubble.
I want to know what Tetons are.
Speaker 6 (59:17):
I want to know what Tetons are.
It's kind of a weird title.
Blame it on the Tetons.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
Well, in Yellowstone National Park they have the
Teton Mount, yes, so I mean, Idon't know if that's the number
one thing that comes to mind,for me, I mean now like women's
breasts, have been referred toas Tetons.
The Tetons, so I don't know ifthey're, you know they're using
it in that crude of a fashionand that's what they're saying
(59:45):
Like, blame it on.
Like, whatever his heartbreakis, blame it on the Tetons.
Speaker 6 (59:52):
Blame it on Jane Fonda's Tetons, you know.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Maybe that's who he's referring to.
Speaker 6 (59:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
Maybe it's come full circle with our sound clip.
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
I don't know Joy.
Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
I made out with Jane Fonda, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
So I'm going to go.
Am I number two?
I'm going to go, Bukowski.
Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
Nice yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Yeah, I just that wasn't.
He kind of goes off the rails alittle bit there too right,
just that wasn't he kind of goesoff the rails a little bit
there too right, he does.
Yep, it was just, uh, thenihilistic.
It was very nihilistic, andthat's what I liked about it,
and that's that's theirwheelhouse right there.
Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
So that's my number two okay, I'm going with the
view of our number one nosurprise, pop edge yeah I mean
the view.
Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, I really liked it it's my number one too,
because it cuts through the restof it.
It's sort of like a disco songyeah and the fact that they had
that range and they did it welland it just gives the whole.
It just gives more depth to thealbum okay and so, yeah, it was
(01:01:00):
just executed very well.
Also, good drumming Great look,good drummer.
Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
Yeah, a lot of the others are fillers and those, I
think, four.
We mentioned five.
Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
Are solid, solid songs other than the three that
are great, great, great hits.
Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
Float on being my favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Yeah, it's probably my favorite as well.
The World at Large is a closesecond, though, for me.
Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
I like Ocean Breeze Salty, slightly better than the
World at Large, maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Yeah, well, that's okay, man, that's where we
diverge.
We can't hit, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
I love the aquatic theme here and you know, water
is eternal.
We're made up of water.
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Yeah, put that into some deep context.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Way down, way just deeper and deeper, deeper and
deeper.
All right Bowtied.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yep, go-tied, and let's see Roll-tied, go-tied.
Okay, yep, go Tide and let'ssee Roll Tide, go Tide.
Speaker 6 (01:02:05):

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
