Thumbs up for the Modest Mouse reference. I realize the actual line is "people who love bad news" but close enough to make me smile.

- timr 18y agoYeah, but by switching around the words, he makes you wonder if he understood why the original album title was clever. When you first heard the Modest Mouse album name, it begged a question: what's good news for people who love bad news, anyway? Bad news? Good news? Bad news that's good news? It was a clever bit of wordplay.
