Prophetic words from the new Modest Mouse?

Someday you will die somehow and something's going to steal your carbon
Somehow something else will die someday and you will steal its carbon
"Parting Of The Sensory" —Modest Mouse We Were Dead Before The Ship Ever Sank

I guess in the new world of Kyoto, Carbon Exchange Markets and Taxation of Carbon Emissions the new currency symbol is C. There is probably an Orwellian-type novel in a group of bandits that grave rob for carbon. Too bad I don't have the discipline to write it!

As for the rest of the new Modest Mouse album I am still digesting. As per usual it is a dense and contorted masterpiece. Initially, I can say that it is less accessible than its predecessor and is more to the Modest Mouse routes of angular-obtuse rock.
