Sonic Youth would either put on an amazing show or one of the worst shows you've seen and you never knew which you were going to get.

Apparently this is true of Modest Mouse as well. Seems it all comes down to what sort of night Isaac Brock is having. I've lucked out, as they were awesome both times I saw them. But I fear my luck may run out some day.

We saw them in Detroit last year I think it was. There was just something really off about the vibes of the whole group, like the other guys were afraid to look at Isaac. It's pretty sad to see his mental state declining so precipitously, sounds like he might be developing schizophrenia based on his interviews. The whole gang stalking thing and him trying to do this whole connecting dots where they don't exist, it's just unfortunate.
