Modest Mouse and the Story of 'Building Nothing Out of Something'

Before Modest Mouse achieved critical acclaim with their 2004 album "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" on Epic Records, the band had become indie rock darlings of the Pacific Northwest. In 2000, they’d give us their major label debut, "The Moon And Antarctica," but before that came an indie culmination of creativity — a compilation on their soon-to-be former label Up Records, released in January of 2000 and dubbed "Building Nothing Out Of Something." This is the story of their transformation and the compilation that sealed their indie years as they looked forward to major label success. 👉 Subscribe for More Vinyl Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 WATCH NEXT: ✓ The Story of Float On: https://youtu.be/33Ybj5zRg2U ✓ The Story of The Moon And Antarctica: https://youtu.be/NLy5ypPYNUI ✓ The Story of Funeral: https://youtu.be/HrhaL4Rhou8 ✓ Blonde Redhead: https://youtu.be/3M1E_wsYyHQ 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWXL84MH1T4Qr0wrRzjwlGMR Get Modest Mouse on Vinyl 🎧 Building Nothing Out of Something: https://amzn.to/3BEoPgW More Modest Mouse Vinyl: https://amzn.to/3BEoPgW Poetic Wax is hosted by Andy Fenstermaker.
