In 2006 I went to Canada for the first time, initially to Toronto where my friend Gareth was living. We went on the customary daytrip to Niagara Falls to indulge my tourist leanings, which was a nice early Sunday morning drive along the shore of Lake Ontario.
This was on in the car:
At the time I didn't know Modest Mouse, and I didn't ask what the album was while it was on. But I had heard of them and knew I'd probably like them, and when I was in New York a week or so later I picked up, by total coincidence, the very same album while record-shopping.
I prefer Good News For People Who Love Bad News (just), but The Moon And Antarctica and this track in particular always bring back memories of wide open Canadian freeways, crisp sunshine and seeing old friends.
