Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse (any fans of MM? He's an amazing, NATURAL lyricist, unpretentious)




Editing this post years later, 8 years later to be exact because I just recently saw him at Osheaga (Music festival) and basically had my dream come true of hearing them live. It was amazing. Of course, I want him typed.. my natural thought is an Ni-IEI since I seem to gravitate towards music made by Beta bands and usually IEIs. His lyrics are wonderfully profound and poetic, yet unpretentious and natural, much how I see a lot of Ni-Fe writing.

Similarities in themes - circular nature of universe, life, meaninglessness of day to day activities.. philosophical waxings.

What makes me wonder about the IEI typing is the video I've seen of him from an old documentary.. he just seems a lot more down to earth than IEIs would normally be, and his live shows are completely devoid of pandering to the crowd, or what I see to be typical Beta hijinks, stage presence, etc. He simply plays, and leaves.. not much talk, not much smiling or any expression really. Avoidance of Fe.


An excerpt from Bankrupt on Selling

"so all of the businesses in their unlimited
hell where they buy and they sell and they sell all their
trash to each other but they're sick of it all
and they're bankrupt on selling
and all of the angels
they'd sell off your soul for a set of new wings and anything gold
they remember
the people they loved their old friends
and I've seen through'em all seen through'em all and seen through most everything
all the people you knew were the actors
all the people you knew were the actors"
