Modest Mouse

Do you ever make up names for people? You know, when you don't know someone's name, but you have something that you call them in your head. When I worked in the record store, there was a regular I used to call "Modest Mouse" because once he asked me for them, and because he sort of looked like one. I used to see him at the gym sometimes too. Anyway, I didn't get into the band until recently, but this is one of my favourites...
