Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band. The band was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington by guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy.
Brock came up with the name \"Modest Mouse\" when he read a Virginia Woolf novel The Mark On the Wall in which the author described the working middle class as \"modest, mouse-coloured people.\"
In 1996, the band recorded their debut EP, Interstate 8, at Calvin Johnson\'s Dub Narcotic Studios, which was then released on Calvin\'s record label K Records. After moving to Up Records Modest Mouse put out two releases, 1996\'s This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About and 1997\'s The Lonesome Crowded West, which turned out to be the band\'s breakthrough album. The Lonesome Crowded West gained the band a cult following and is now widely considered by many critics to be one of the defining album of mid-90s indie-rock. In 2000, Up released a singles and rarities collection entitled Building Nothing Out of Something, which included the entirety of Interstate 8 except for the song \"Edit the Sad Parts\".
Also in 2000, Modest Mouse released The Moon And Antarctica, their first album on a major label (Epic Records). The band enjoyed some success on alternative radio with the singles \"3rd Planet\" and \"Gravity Rides Everything.\" While initially positively received by critics, The Moon And Antarctica has subsequently gone on to receive further acclaim. Lead singer Isaac Brock has since put out an album with his side project Ugly Casanova on Sub Pop Records. The band licensed \"Gravity Rides Everything\" for a commercial for Nissan\'s Quest minivan, a move that Brock has publicly acknowledged as blatantly commercial but necessary to achieve financial stability.

Since 2000, Modest Mouse has put out several releases, including the EP Everywhere & His Nasty Parlour Tricks and Sad Sappy Sucker, a collection of songs Modest Mouse recorded in 1994, originally intended to be their debut album, but shelved in favor of This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About. In 2002, they joined Cake, De La Soul, The Flaming Lips, The Hackensaw Boys, and Kinky on the Unlimited Sunshine Tour.
In 2003, drummer Jeremiah Green quit the band due to a mental breakdown; the official word was that he was quitting to work with his side project, The Vells. He was replaced with two new members, drummer Benjamin Weikel (who also drummed for The Helio Sequence) and guitarist Dann Gallucci. On April 6, 2004, Modest Mouse released their most recent album, the platinum-selling Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which scored two hits with \"Float On\" and \"Ocean Breathes Salty\". In 2004 Jeremiah Green returned to the band, and Benjamin Weikel now drums exclusively for The Helio Sequence. Dann Gallucci left the band in August, and they have been touring with Hutch Harris of The Thermals.

Version 2.51
Remember, there's more to marijuana than
just smoking pot.
Disclaimer
I have purposely left my name off this piece,
for obvious reasons. I don't frequent
local BBSes much anymore, so I don't use a
handle. All I request is that you don't
take credit for my writing by adding your own
name to it -- just leave it intact and pass
it on.
This phile was written during June, 1993, and
updated to v2.51 during May, 1994. As this
phile grows larger with each new version, I
would increasingly recommend that the reader
use a search engine to find particular
information s/he may be looking for.
Preface
I didn't start smoking buds till my
sophomore year in college. I hadn't even
drunk alcohol till college. Since I'm not
much of a partier, I had a pretty neutral
attitude toward drugs. It's not that I
bought the War on Drugs misinformation that
the government has been dishing out, but
rather that I just thought drugs had no place
in my life. I had no inclination towards
them, I had a relatively satisfying life, and
I didn't care if other people used them or
not. In college some of my buddies smoked
buds and I was often in the room when it was
going on. I was still indifferent until one
of them explained to me how he felt about
pot. He answered all my questions honestly
and I got the sense that it certainly
wouldn't hurt to try once.
I suppose the rest is history, since I took a
great liking to old delta-9
tetrahydrocannibinol, and I now consider
myself a marijuana/hemp enthusiast, as well
as a bong artisan.
I urge everyone to inform themselves about
the facts of marijuana and about the liesof
the "War on Drugs". Whether you
smoke or not you should know about the true
detriments and benefits of marijuana. You
should also know of the wide range of uses of
the hemp plant itself, for medicine, paper,
clothing, "wood", and food. If
you don't know the facts, find out the
facts by talking to a lot of smokers. They
know. You can also search out
marijuana-legalization groups. They know.
With your new knowledge comes responsibility.
Pass on the truthful information to friends,
co-workers, everybody. The more real
information people know about drugs, the less
the DEA will be able to bash down doors,
confiscate equipment, and deprive people of a
perfectly natural experience.
While I would like to get into the topic of
drug advocacy, there are many essays already
out there (print and electronic text) which
do an excellent job of informing the public
of the truth about drugs.
This essay seeks to fill a gap in the drug
literature by going into detail about bongs,
bong-making, and bong-using. I bring my own
experiences, experimentations, and reading
into the creation of this document. I hope it
will enlighten many people. Pass it on!
The Bong Concept
The anatomy of a conventional bong is very
simple. It consists of a bowl (and screen), a
stem (sometimes optional), a chamber, some
liquid, and an opening for the mouth(s).
