Each Friday I pick a song\u2013new, old, borrowed, blue\u2013that\u2019s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.<\/p>\n

This is “Paper Thin Walls” by Modest Mouse:<\/p>\n

Modest Mouse — “Paper Thin Walls”<\/a><\/p>\n

Modest Mouse has a large catalog of terrific songs. This one comes from the album, The Moon and Antarctica<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which was released in the year 2000, which used to sound like the future, but is now the semi-distant past. The All Music Guide review (if you click the album link you’ll be taken to it) sells the album a bit short, I think; the middle section works for me in a way the reviewer says is dull.\u00a0 Either way, it’s worth listening to the album a few times to decide whether you agree with Heather Phares, or whether you agree with me.<\/p>\n
