Modest Mouse
Hace tiempo que no escucho mucha radio, como hacía antes, porque realmente me aburro tanto que no vale la pena perder mi tiempo. Aunque siempre se escapan sus cosas chéveres, lo que hay en la radio es tan y tan homogéneo que en vez de quedarse uno escuchando una estación tranquila, tiene que estar cambiando y cambiando en busca de canciones buenas. Realmente escuchar radio hoy es tedioso. Gracias a los que inventaron YouTube, etc etc tenemos más donde rebuscar, si no fuera por eso... bendito.
Pero, uno de los pocos programas que escucho es Frecuencias Alternas , que lo transmiten por Radio Universidad los sábados de 9 a 12 pm. Ahí fue dónde escuché por primera vez el disco nuevo de la banda norteamericana Modest Mouse . Debo decir que este disco nuevo, titulado "We were dead before the ship even sank", es excelente. El concepto del disco hace alusión literal al mar, entre otras cosas. Pero me parece que la canción Dashboard y el disco en general hace alusión al negocio de la música a nivel macro. No sé, así yo lo veo.
Pero bueno, volviendo a lo que les contaba de la radio...
Antes a mi me gustaba muchísimo el rock, el pop rock, y esos géneros, pero ahora me parecen tan poco atrayentes, que me dedico a escuchar otras cosas. No porque me crea superior ni nada de esas boberías, es porque ya esos géneros no me seducen como antes, se ve todo tan fabricado, tan gastado.
Pero me gustó que tan pronto escuché este disco de Modest Mouse me quedé pegá al radio. Ayer ví el video de Dashboard y me encantó, está bien distinto. No sé, es inevitable la semejanza de Modest Mouse en su sonido con el grupo Talking Heads , pero me parece que MS es una de las pocas bandas del mainstream que son bien refrescantes para escuchar.
Si quieren escuchar un disco bueno de rock, y liberarse del yugo de Lu, La Quinta Estación, Yuridia, Paulina, y blah blah blah, pues busquen por Internet y chequéense a Modest Mouse con su disco nuevo.
Aquí el vídeo del sencillo "Dashboard", que está bien nítido. Tremendo video.
"Dashboard"
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
Oh, it should've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.
Oh, it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air y'know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!
Oh! It would've been, could've been worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want.
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh if the world don't like us it'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old.
Now here we go!
Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
And the evening was consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
After you had proved my point wrong,
It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show.
Yeah, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)
Hard-wired to concieve, so much we'd have to stow it
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants.
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Oh, we could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!
Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
And the evening was consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Oh it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
