Continuing my Modest Mouse Top 25 countdown:
7. Dramamine
What can I say about Dramamine? The 75-second intro may be the best on any Modest Mouse song. It makes me enter an almost dreamlike state. That mood is broken slightly by the way the lyrics are punctuated with louder bursts of noise, but the overall journey still retains that escapist vibe. I'm shocked that it isn't in my Top 5. The loops at the very end of the song don't really work for me, and I would rather the music had just faded out. That's a minor quibble because Dramamine is close to perfection.
So bummed that thisismyjam is ending in September! Therefore, every song I post until then will be those that ooze with nostalgia (for me). For you, just another song.
