do these morons take the time to see how napster works before the get so 
fucking-sue-happy?  napster has no songs in its database, period.  napster 
doesn't carry any songs - it indexes user files.  no users, no songs.  

oh, yeah, metallica's lawyer says that napster is only used for copyright 
infringement, and nothing else.
of course, those thousands of mp3s that are available freely, with 
permission, on the internet never make their way onto napster.

idiots.

 The buffalo is a pretty accurate symbol of the US midwest, which is
what a lot of Modest Mouse songs kind of float around.  This is always what
I assumed the relevance of the buffalo was.

 Another could be the Heart Cooks Brain line "my brain's the cliff /
and my heart's the bitter buffalo," assuming the shirt was released after
the Lonesome Crowded West album.

 Just my take.
