you don't even know the topic

There's a pretty cool Modest Mouse documentary floating around on Video Google as well as YouTube, filmed way back in '97.

Oh, and Elliott Smith randomly and begrudgingly appears. Here it is, in four parts because YouTube sucks:











And, for good measure, here's some Elliott Smith and Modest Mouse songs:
