Please listen to btfl. It is brendans short lived side project. I believe only had like 2 or 3 songs but all really amazing and very much took influence from old school mobo
The Quark is a song by a band (who kick ass) called Hard Girls, MoBo did a cover of it with Ian singing on Asian Man Records. Check out the cover and Hard Girls other stuff!
Bro this one time I was visiting family in Michigan, and my family got an Air bnb in some random location. The person who owned the house had a collection of records. On the last day we were there, my cousin and I were going through the records. My cousin says “modern baseball?” I was taken aback cause that did not fit in with the other records. The sleeve had a hand written note on a paper towel from MODERN BASEBALL. Thanking the owner for letting them stay there and then gave the owner the record as a gift.
That picture next to tier 5 is from the show my friend and I booked for MoBo and Marietta back in 2012 in his garage in Yonkers (that's where the Philly invades Yonkers comes from). Before Sports came out, So funny to see that on here. Love and miss these dudes.
Adrienne Gold who sang the female vocals in "I think you're in profile picture once" also sang in The Front Bottoms' song "Flashlight" (according to Adrienne's Genius page). Also, BTFL is the name of Bren's music project (Dude the love of your life has some serious issues). It's also their initials.
Hey its mi iceberg! Just to let you know, much of the content on the iceberg has much more depth into the entries, such as BrenBrenn being Brenden's tumblr, which contains so much more information and gives much insight into Mobo and Bren in general, such as Infinite and Bren's letter to Erin, and other things To the viewers, I really recommend doing some research, you'll find so much about Mobo you thought you didn't know before! It's pretty fun too
if you’re still into making them, i’d love to see a rise and fall video on fredo disco. i’m not even sure if they qualify as “fallen” anymore but would be interested to see your take on them
great video but really skimmed over the fact that "mass re-done" was their last ever release and is basically their breakup song with lyrics like 'jakob i wrote your name down, but i'd hate this job as much as you do'... now there's a fuckin iceberg for you.
The Quark is a cover from an Asian Man Records comp! It’s on Spotify, great song. I’m so happy you’re getting back to posting more mate, seeing this is put me in a great mood for the day
The Metallica placement is in reference to the hidden on track on 'Holy Ghost' dubbed 'Stanger Rises'! It's name is based off their album 'St Anger'. Check it out if you haven't, it has a Sean verse and references to past songs!!
I'm actually very surprised you don't know about The Quark. They just have a cover of that song (originally by the Hard Girls) released on "Asian Man Music for Asian Man People Vol 2" which is a compilation album by Asian Man Records which idk why they're on but the song really good. It also features Ian on vocals which I believe is the only time he's ever sung for a studio recorded MOBO song.
as much as i love modern baseball and any content about them is good, i still wish that you would have done the research and that we could find out more in one place and that we wouldn't have to look for some of these things ourselves.
Roy Cooke is an author and poker pro so im guessing the song cooke was named after him. Theres also a few poker references in the song like 'maybe its all in the cards' and 'ive got a pretty good hand id say' so it makes perfect sense
Yo! A "Joinerbomb" is a shot (similar to a jägerbomb, obviously) that they serve at a venue in Southampton, England called The Joiners that they played on tour. It's my local venue. Love your content!
I really enjoyed the deep dive into this! There are a bunch of pieces that I did not know about, which also helped make some connections. You should definitely invest into a phone mount for the car! It was quite hard to watch any part of the video with you in it due to the shakiness, motion sickness is no joke.
Sean also did a guest verse for one of my friend's former bands, One Fell Swoop, on their song "Found a Bottle". Might or might not be my favorite song on that EP.
Its strange how I came to listen to BTFL first and it was the thing that took me to Mobo I used to be addicted to cute girls making ukulele covers (it was a sad part of my life) and one day I saw Emma noodle making a cover of "How to tell a girl I want to kiss her" (and just by the name you can see its some Brendan gold) I felt in love with everything but then I got curious because in the cover was written "modern baseball"
The rap one is probably in reference to the SoundCloud track Chemistry Rap. I went in expecting a sort of Vampire Weekend's Pizza Party song but what I got was a diet 100 gecs b side
Loved every bit of this! Only critique would be to try to keep the face cam still. Maybe with a mount or something. Too much movement there but otherwise you killed it!
does anyone know the story/any info on the album cover for "couple's therapy". I have wondered about who the person on it is and where it was taken for so long.
I'm a simple man, I see a new mobo video and hit like. Great work mate! Btfl was Brendan's solo project btw (I think). Sorry for my English, not a native speaker. 😅
Old video, probably missed the relevant time to comment but oh well! I was at the MoBo Killers cover set! It was during Fest 14 in Gainesville on Halloween. There’s a full video of it on RUclips, I’m pretty sure I was standing next to the guy filming it. Greg and Tom from The Menzingers and Bobby from Captain, We’re Sinking made guest appearances, a bunch of people were in costume, it was one of my favorite sets I’ve seen. I will note that in hindsight at both that show and their regular set Bren seemed a bit quiet and distant, they barely sang or talk during the Killers set and seemed off on their main set. This was before Holy Ghost came out, so they were probably at their worst mentally. I saw they perform solo after the band broke up, they seemed to be a lot happier, but that was almost 5 years ago. Miss this band a lot, SBD is great but I would love if MoBo came back
Damn this is going to make me sad. Modern Baseball will always hold a special place in my heart as I found them at a very crucial point in my life. Thanks for the video
The “permanent hiatus” is more accurate than a lot of people think. I think a lot of people don’t realize that Jake and Ian are not friends with Bren anymore. I forget the name of the podcast, but they had Jake on, and he was very kind and respectful, but didn’t really have anything pleasant to say about Bren and referred to their friendship in the past tense. He said a couple times “when Bren and I were friends.” I’m also fairly certain the band was really not happy with Bren when they had to cancel that last tour. I think that was the last straw, and why they decided to end the band. Idk, people can always patch things up I guess, but Bren seems like a very tortured individual mentally, and my heart breaks for them. That said, I’ve heard from a few people that Bren doesn’t do themselves any favors by not taking the appropriate steps to address their mental health and substance abuse problems, and that’s what led to the end of the band. I obviously wasn’t in the band, so don’t take this for gospel, but it seems like legitimate information given what is public information directly from Jake. He’s kind of said as much, just not as direct.
MoBo rap is the Chemistry Rap off of their other soundcloud account (Which also has an alternately named Home and I think a few more songs with different names)
This was awesome. You are awesome. Modern baseball is awesome. Hours outside in the snow is my jammy jam. Do you know of a band called modern color. They're sick. They blend shoegaze and hardcore. Really tasty stuff
Holy fuck your back and in your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro you literally just read back to me words off a word document, not even trying to poke at ya but if you gonna say “I feel like I know this band well enough to just explain it well enough” and then provide next to 0 insight on most of these bullet points. Seems rushed or kinda lazy bro. Maybe you should do like a test video of what you can say off the cuff, and then play it back and re watch to see where you need to plug in more research so there aren’t so many weak spots? Then go and re-record once you can combine your brain with research lol, only thing I can think of man. All love, no hard feelings mate!
@@NateTheMateForever just messing around, love your videos, just kicking the ol' 5th wave emo Home is Where meme around, they've never been my cup of tea but I'm glad so many people like them, I love this genre as a whole and love to see it thrive!
What did I get wrong?
Please listen to btfl. It is brendans short lived side project. I believe only had like 2 or 3 songs but all really amazing and very much took influence from old school mobo
@@julianquevedo5822 I will thank you
the rap song is on their soundcloud, it seems to be a chemistry project by jake (+im pretty sure the beholder is also a song on their soundcloud)
Imo the nameless ranger is their best work

Everyone forgets Couples Therapy. Two of their best tracks imo not to mention Marietta’s appearance
I was gonna talk about couples therapy to I just bought it on vinyl
the fact that chloe from twitter is the girl on sports cover is mindblowing
I’d rather spend my evening talking to the girl on the sports cover than having you come over so it’ll be like old times

you’re cool
you were right, don’t research the rap song
You rule for making this. Shout out to you and bar bruh
if you’re still into making them, i’d love to see a rise and fall video on fredo disco. i’m not even sure if they qualify as “fallen” anymore but would be interested to see your take on them
Is this Fredo?? Im not sure anyone is dying for that :p
That would be interesting, but Fredo disco is slowly making a comeback from the look of it and I think they’re dropping a new EP soon
I may be out of the loop here, but what happened with fredo disco? Or did they just generally fade into obscurity?
@@cinnemaninemanas4001 fredo didn’t do anything they just didn’t release anything until like last month
Oh man, I honestly don’t even know what happened with them. I remember they had an absurd twitter presence, then vanished I think
also BTFL is Brendans full initials. it's the name he released 'dude, the love of your life...' under
great video but really skimmed over the fact that "mass re-done" was their last ever release and is basically their breakup song with lyrics like 'jakob i wrote your name down, but i'd hate this job as much as you do'... now there's a fuckin iceberg for you.

But good job!
Great video man, the Marietta and Couples therapy is my favorite part
babe wake up! new Nate The Mate video just dropped!
I’m so happy to see you back in the car mate! ❤️
And I’m equally as happy to see you watching and commenting!
I THOUGHT I WAS LAGGING WHEN I SAW THIS NEW VIDEO love both modern baseball and you!!!
Love you!!!
I really enjoyed the deep dive into this! There are a bunch of pieces that I did not know about, which also helped make some connections.
You should definitely invest into a phone mount for the car! It was quite hard to watch any part of the video with you in it due to the shakiness, motion sickness is no joke.
Thank you so much. And noted, I’m gonna get one from Best Buy this week
ayy i helped make this! a few of those go so much deeper lol
Appreciate you so much for making this!
LOL as a huge MOBO fan Im really suprised you havent heard the MOBO rap song!
Sean also did a guest verse for one of my friend's former bands, One Fell Swoop, on their song "Found a Bottle". Might or might not be my favorite song on that EP.
That’s pretty dank, did not know
Just here to have a good time and happy you’re making videos again!:)
Best comment ever! Thank you
BTFL was the name that Bren put out “Dude The Love of Your Life Has Some Serious Issues” under
I AM SHOCKED YOU DON'T KNOW BTFL
Great video. Love to see you back at it. This isn't a mock orange video though?!?
Nate back at it again with the Mobo content
Its strange how I came to listen to BTFL first and it was the thing that took me to Mobo
I used to be addicted to cute girls making ukulele covers (it was a sad part of my life) and one day I saw Emma noodle making a cover of "How to tell a girl I want to kiss her" (and just by the name you can see its some Brendan gold)
I felt in love with everything but then I got curious because in the cover was written "modern baseball"
Nate, your content is the saving grace for RUclips, as far as I’m concerned. Fucking love your hat, shirt and hair, brother!
You made my morning. Thank you
The rap one is probably in reference to the SoundCloud track Chemistry Rap. I went in expecting a sort of Vampire Weekend's Pizza Party song but what I got was a diet 100 gecs b side
It should have included 'happy birthday kid', obviously MOBO's best work

Unexpected but well enjoyed, thank you :)
does anyone know the story/any info on the album cover for "couple's therapy". I have wondered about who the person on it is and where it was taken for so long.
i have the vinyl as a decoration in my room and everybody always asks me who it is and i don’t know lol.
I’m pretty sure he’s one of the band members but I’m not certain
That’s the one story I need to know. Maybe I could make a whole video of my process trying to figure it out haah
