Media Info
So...MTV taped an interview with Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse for their band feature on the Advance Warning show. But somehow something was wrong with MTV's tape, and since they were at deadline they asked Isaac to take his video camera and tape himself answering MTV's list of questions.
Isaac instead got his friend to help him put together a 5-minute piece which was much more elaborate than we expected. Take a look below for the finished piece, encoded for you in Windows Media, and Real. MTV/Advance Warning used snippets of the produced interview in their special, but below is the piece in its entirety as Isaac sent it to us.
