I found out today that longtime Modest Mouse front man Isaac Brock is writing music for a cartoon. Yes, that's right the same Isaac Brock that was responsible for arguably one of the best indie rock albums of all time (The Lonesome Crowded West) is now using his talents for a program entitled, "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack." The show is evidently about the adventures of a boy searching for candy. Apparently the cartoon is a favorite of Brock's and he wanted to contribute his talent to make the show even more awesome.
This may arguably be ADVANCED, but also may fall into the category of PREDICTABLE. Modest Mouse's music has become more and more mainstream over their last two records. Hit single "Float On" was even used for one of those god awful "KIDZ BOP" albums. The fact that Brock would now license his original material to a cartoon could almost be seen as a logical progression. Which leads to the question, what comes next? Does Brock start writing songs for garbage reality television shows? Jingles for deodorant companies? Theme songs for big budget action flicks?
May god have mercy on his soul.

I like that cartoon i had no idea that he wrote the music. I'll have to pay more attention now.
I think he's writing the music. . .there hasn't been an episode featuring his songs yet.
