Sandwiched between the first single, "Dashboard", and the hook-laden "Florida", but some fifty minutes before the epic three-song finale of "Spitting Venom" > "People As Places As People" > "Invisible", "Fire It Up" bats third in the seamless soundscape of Modest Mouse's latest release. Some of the critics aren't buying in (78 at Metacritic), but I was all but hooked when this song gently crashed the party. And then when it all built to the aforementioned finale, I was sold. I can't get this of this album out of my head.

Been reading your blog in totally random order because of Hype Machine. Been enjoying it. For some reason I totally didn't process you were from the District. Thanks for helping to keep the DC in hardcore.
Thanks man. Unfortunately, over the course of this blog, we have both moved away from the DC area but I'll always continue to look out.
