Late 2015, Modern Baseball released an EP titled "MOBO Presents: The Perfect Cast EP featuring Modern Baseball". And over time, it's become my favorite Modern Baseball release, and from what I can tell, it seems like others are beginning to feel that way as well.
In this video I talk about how Modern Baseball wrote their best album or technically EP but that's not as catchy. I discuss EP itself, where the band was at when it came out, the lyrics, and even the album artwork.
I'm interested to see in 5 years if the Perfect Cast is still my favorite MOBO album. All I know is, I'll still be missing them. I hope your day is well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sup my mates, hope you've all been well. If you're reading all the way down here, I have a secret. I recorded a podcast with Eric from Heart Attack Man and it'll be going up late this week. It'll be the kickoff for the Matesclub Podcast. I can't wait to show you all. Thank you all so much. -Nate

fav song off The Perfect Cast?

[@swatchcovers5401]

The only correct answer is the thrash particle.

"SOOOOOO IS THIS THE HOOK YOU WANTED!!!!"

[@aperfecttool257]

The best part of "The Thrash Particle" is imagining Brens partner getting dug out by someone else and Bren crying while wrong "HERWZ THAT HOOK YOU WANTED" like the biggest baby while using their emo tears to wank.

Cool seeing you here. I recently found your channel and really enjoy your content.

[@SevenSamuraiClipFan]

Damn..started following both of you a while ago but was not expecting this crossover

[@petrichor04_]

i listened to this ep and then heard the context of it later, and it really is very special. some of the lyrics sting a bit more knowing that this was kind of when things started to fall apart for bren, and u can really hear it in his voice, especially on thrash particle. while holy ghost will still always be my favorite, perfect cast is a very close runner up. and honestly, as much it hurts to know that there won’t be any more from them, i think just another face was the perfect way to lay modern baseball to rest. will always love these dorks

[@blameitonyaboi]

thrash particle still gives me goosebumps

[@NateTheMateForever]

it still hurts

[@iamMarkCole]

Absolutely. If you’ve been alive long enough anyone can identify with the content

[@sarahbiernat3630]

i’m great at getting into bands years after they have broken up. got into this entire scene in the last year & i miss mobo like i was there from the beginning, i can’t imagine what it’s like to have actually seen them grow. i was in middle school/early high school when mobo was around so i never would have thought to give them a second thought even if i knew who they were. bummer but maybe one day they can pull a surprise reunion like MCR. we can hope

[@sheam861]

I still believe that they'll maybe pull an American Football and come back after like ten years lol

[@NateTheMateForever]

@Ryan H then how come Spotify so popular 🧐 checkmateeeee baby

[@jennacuna3674]

Was supposed to see them a second time right before they broke up... was so sad it literally hits hard to this day. Their music defined a huge part of my senior year in high school and listening to them or thinking about them gives me this crashing wave of nostalgia. Makes me want to relive those days so badly. Here’s to MoBo.

[@NateTheMateForever]

I'd do anything to see them live @ chain reaction again. Jake was sooo funny between songs haha

[@itsallenwow]

I really appreciate how you drew the connection between the EP and Holy Ghost. My favorite song from the album Hiding makes me reflect on this time where Brendan was feeling alone. “Are you hiding or have I abandoned you?” The song is sung by Jake, and it’s the last one he sings on the record. And how much the band was doing at the time I wonder if he feels a little guilt about how hard the band was going during that time. Connecting it to with Nameless Ranger I completely agree it’s a reflection on how Brendan was just starting to feel like he was growing out of MOBO. Thrash Particle is my favorite song on the EP. Nate this is one of your best videos for me, and this is my favorite Mobo release as well.

[@oswaldfigglebottom]

Only other person I've seen giving this ep the recognition it deserves

[@wrosix]

i never really got into the band history, i just listened to their most popular songs and found lyrics very relatable, now with all this info i’m definitely going to give this ep a good listen, great video!!

@5 minute mark what is being discussed is spot on by the narrator. As someone who got stuck in one of those alleys personally - the worst part is once that everything has been sorted out - the friends that you are supposed to be able to count on are the first to distance themselves. I get that there are scenarios where that's just fin and makes sense - a lot of the times people just do what's easiest and smooth selfishly.
