"Sad Sappy Sucker" (or, with the full title as it appears on the cover, "Sad Sappy Sucker Chokin on a Mouthful of Lost Thoughts") is a compilation album by Modest Mouse, released in 2001. Originally, "Sad Sappy Sucker" was intended to be Modest Mouse's debut album in 1994, but it was shelved for several years until it was finally released in 2001, following the success of *The Moon & Antarctica*—the band's third album. Some of the songs were recorded at Dub Narcotic Studios in Olympia, Washington, by Beat Happening frontman Calvin Johnson. The album was officially released by Johnson's label, K Records, and features nine additional tracks that were added to the original tracklist. The first 15 tracks constitute the original *Sad Sappy Sucker* album. Tracks 16 through 24 are sourced from Isaac Brock's answering machine; he had set up a "Call to Dial a Song" service.
