New Modest Mouse - "Satellite Skin"

You've heard the song live for a while and perhaps caught it on Letterman: It's about time Modest Mouse release the official studio version of "Satellite Skin." The No One's First And You're Next track is out as the A-Side of a 7" on 5/26, but it's streaming at the band's site today. As they note, it'll be pressed on "limited edition orange vinyl with an embossed sleeve and individually numbered to 4000" and backed by another newbie, "Guilty Cocker Spaniels." (If you're not one to use vinyl, don't get our moth-wing feelings hurt, it'll be up at iTunes, too.) Take a listen at MySpace. And keep eyes peeled for the video directed by Tool's Kevin Willis. Also, check back here on Monday (5/18) when we're premiering the aforementioned "Guilty Cocker Spaniels."

The melody is the same as "Here" by Pavement.

while they may be similar, there is no way you can say the two sound anything alike.

obligatory "Kevin Willis isn't in Tool" comment. You just pissed off a 14 year old version of me.
