So there was this dude who was like "hey...you there...you wanna make a Modest Mouse rip-off band" and then the other guy was all like "sure! (laughter) i think we could rip-off Modest Mouse so good." Then these two guys played in a totally unrelated band for awhile. One day the first dude was like "IT'S TIME! MAGNUM." (he calls me Magnum) and the second guy was like "oh shit! I already started."
