Alright already! Here we come to save the day with another episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST! Join your hosts for their review of 2004 indie-rock hit, “Float On” by Modest Mouse. Laugh it off as we run our mouths off a bit too much and discuss self-care for 19th-century tradesmen, who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf short stories, and album titles that are long, wordy, run-on sentences just like the sentence that you are reading right now. So don’t you worry! Put the car in park and listen to this episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST. Good news is on the way. Okay? Continue the conversation; follow THE STORY SONG PODCAST on social media.
