Answer: Charles Bukowski

This is from the song "Bukowski" off the "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" CD.

7. Edgar Graham is a real person and not just some one Isaac made up in his own mind.

Answer: False

Edgar Graham was rumored to break into the back stage area of a show Modest Mouse was playing at in Denver back in 1998. However we did find out later that Isaac crafted the whole thing and Ugly Casanova is really just a side project that he wanted to do. The debut CD was "Sharpen Your Teeth" recorded by Sub Pop records in 2002.

8. Finish this line from "The Stars are Projectors", "The Stars are Projectors, project our lives down to the..."

Answer: planet Earth

This is a line from the song "The Stars Are Projectors" off "The Moon and Antarctica" recorded in 2000 with Epic.

9. According to the song "Life Like Weeds", "our hearts are just made out of rings to be shown."

Answer: False

The correct line is "Our hearts are just made out of strings to be pulled." This is off "The Moon and Antarctica" recorded by Epic in 2000.

10. Did Isaac ever find a dog in a park in Olympia, Washington?

Answer: Yes

In a documentry found on You Tubes Isaac is interviewed near the end of the film. He is walking through the park after buying a 40 from the gas station on his break at work, and he sees a woman and her dog walking and trys to say hi and she brushes him off; he goes on to tell the story of how he found this dog in that park.

11. In the song "The Fruit that Ate Itself" we taught the fruit how to eat itself, what was the fruit doing while we did this?

Answer: It was hanging out alone all on the shelf

This is from the self titled EP that Modest Mouse did in 1997 with K records that quickly started being called "The Fruit that Ate Itself". So I guess they just went with that because when they released the Japanese version of that EP it was called "The Fruit that Ate Itself", But if you check the original release of the EP it is simply "Modest Mouse".

12. What is the alternate name to "I Came As A Rat"?

Answer: Long Walk Off A Short Dock

This is a great song that they made. They have used it on "The Moon and Antarctica", "Night On the Sun" and "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks".

13. In the song "Tiny City Made of Ashes" Isaac says he got a phone call from the Lord telling him to do what?

Answer: to go "get a sweater"

This is a great song from "The Moon and Antarctica" recorded in 2000 on Epic records.

14. If you are "going nowhere" are you guaranteed to be on time?

Answer: No

This is a reference to the song "Interstate 8", which has been used in a few EPs that Modest Mouse has done. The line is "I'm on a road shaped like a figure 8, I'm going nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late".

15. Who did Modest Mouse join up with to do "Whenever You See Fit"?

Answer: 764-Hero

They joined up with 764-Hero in 1998 on Up/Suicide Squeeze on a 12" to do this great song that I recomend to any Modest Mouse fan.

16. "She ionizes and atomizes", what does he do?

Answer: realizes and itemizes

This is from the song "She Ionizes and Atomizes" off the "This is A Long Drive For Somone With Nothing To Think About" recorded in 1996 with UP records.

17. In the song "Paper Thin Walls" they're "shakin' hands" and what else is going on in this line?

Answer: they're shakin' in their shoes

This song is from "The Moon and Antarctica" and has a great guitar riff in it.

18. Who custom-makes Isaac's guitars?

Answer: Wicks Guitars

This is a custom guitar maker named Brian Wicks that has been doing it since he was 12 years old and now has three models that he is making for Isaac which you can find at wicksguitars.com/isaac.

19. John Marr was in Modest Mouse.

Answer: True

This is very much true. It was released this year while they have been working on the new album named "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank".

Answer: Sweater/Jawbreaker

This song is one that all Modest Mouse fans should hear. It was done just as a jam at this show and to my knowledge has never even been put on a record and Isaac truly meant it when he said "he would never hear it again himself."
