Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Back in the old days (that is, pre-college), summer break meant the best movies, the best tans, and the best sleep ever. Now, summer still means all of that, and so much more.

Since their burst onto the indie scene in the mid nineties with This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, Modest Mouse has been hailed as one of the most unique bands that America has to offer.

It is 10pm on a Monday night. I could be at home right now watching the new episode of Heroes, but instead I am putting together the Coyote Press' last issue of the 2006/2007 school year. I suppose this is more important than finding out the fate of the entire world, but just in case, I am recording Heroes at home.
