Stuck-in-my-head Sunday: 3rd Planet

Modest Mouse is an indie rock band that blossomed in 1993 at the crowning point of alternative music. The band cycled through members and released several EPs before finally reaching mainstream success in 2004 with the platinum-selling album Good News for People Who Love Bad News. It's one of the group's earlier tracks, however, that caught my ear this week. 3rd Planet is the first track on Modest Mouse's 2000 album, The Moon & Antarctica.

Modest Mouse has always been able to tickle the taste buds of my ears with it's clever use of instrumental and vocal sound in it's music and the presence of dense subject matter strewn throughout it's lyrics. It wasn't until very recently, though, that I was presented with the audible deliciousness that is 3rd Planet, thanks to the musical tastes of  pal and fellow awesomeness-lover, @stephtastic.
