What is a big modest mouse?

Modest Mouse is a band.   Big is an adjective describing how much of a fan he is.

Now I know. Never heard of them. I will check em out.

Modest Mouse isn't too bad, especially for "newer" music!

Modest Mouse is on Spotify. I'll check them out later on this morning after the Today show.

Didn't know about spotify.  Thanks!

@Audiott.
Spotify is pretty interesting.  I pay $10/month to get it ad free and their highest quality. I use it with my Android cell phone. Unlike Pandora which I pay $25 for a whole year, with Spotify you can seek out specific artists and even narrow it down to a specific album. Of course you can also search by genre's. As I'm pretty limited in my activities I listen to music all day and this gives me some alternatives to my analog collection and CDs. It's not as great sounding as a good analog source, but I guess it's about CD quality.

@papabearjew.  Thanks for the info.  I am going to check it out!

@Papabearjew - I agree,  Spotify at $10/mth is addictive.  Being able to chose what song you want vs radio stations (which Spotify also has) is great.  I notice the difference is sound quality when I switch back and forth in the settings, plus the $10 gets you offline playback on the iPad/iphone,  so not a bad deal, IMO.  I use it all day at work and loose access around 3:30PM like clockwork when my daughter gets home from school and logs in

How does the offline playback work?

[OldiesButGoodies]

On your iPhone or iPad go to settings and select "offline".  Any recordings you have tagged (while online of course) to be available offline will be there.  You can tag playlists as available offline.  No connection needed for 30 days.  After 30 days you have to connect once to call the mothership and re-synchronize.

That is cool.  Thanks for the heads up!

nice....  we all start life and hobbies somewhere lol   I just call used stuff I acquire "New to Me" .... I like NTM stuff!

Brought back memories.... not electronic related though....  first house was a + 150 year old "small mansion" 100 yards from Lake Erie far west of Cleveland.  It was at the tipping point of restore or tear down ( garage was even leaning over at about 15 degrees off center) Resorted to a wood burner when the first gas bill was bigger than my mortgage! use to dumpster dive and cruise streets looking for anything that would burn lol And that I didn't have to cut, split and haul...
The poor compact company car I had back then hauled more pallets, old doors etc....  the roof line got a little flatter than OEM  lol
