I’ve joked before about a song here and there becoming my “Helter Skelter.” It was always tongue in cheek. Since I heard the new Modest Mouse disc, I have had this song called “Florida”

stuck in my head. Not in a good way, but in a repetitive way. I wake up in the middle of the night and it is looping in my brain. I wish I was kidding.


So what the hell resonates with me in this song? Other than my obvious love/hate relationship with the state. I guess maybe the message that moving away from a place doesn’t always mean you can escape yourself.

I love Modest Mouse, but this is officially ridiculous. Hopefully it isn’t a sign that I’m losing it. Although that in and of itself wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
