RE: [MMouse]: philly rawwwwwk
If your looking for a reason why more indie rock boys and girls don't hook up, there it is. Boys and Girls need to dance, that's like an essential part of the mating process, especially in big loud places where the normal forms of communication aren't terribly effective. Everywhere people were dancing at the show there were huge gaps on either side of them..for a sold out show that was the *least* crowded I have ever seen the tla, with perhaps the exception of a tkk show I saw there however many years ago. Mark Bleib Immer Locker. yeah..you should have just took your big sign..indtead of hanging it in the blackness of the back of the room..put it onstage over the setlist..when they came back for the encore...this show was better then 2 of the new york shows i went to..but still not as good as they were a few years ago../well the band is as good..but people dont move anymore..they used to dance...what the fuk? bryan

[MMouse]: Re: THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN ! RESPECT IS DUE !
Just to build the momentum a bit more... I've seen the Plan 3 times on this tour and every show was fucking rad; from the now-famous sold out show at the middle-east in Boston (probably one of the 3 best shows I've ever seen) to their show at the Skinny in Portland, Maine (playing for a crowd of about 10 people) they rocked the Casbah and split the diff. Travis is totally nuts; he has this look in his eyes when he's performing that makes Isaac Brock look postively boring in comparison. Add to that the fact that D-Plan crowds are the coolest around and Eric is one of the nicest band members you could meet (perhaps second only to the mighty Robert Nastanovich) and you have the makings of the most vital act in music today. But that's just my opinion. -Original Message- From: Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 11:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MMouse]: THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN !

[MMouse]: philly rawwwwwk
The philly show was definitely an experience, and it seems like every show I go to, the new guy playing guitar fucks up a song. I have only two questions, 1) how could you not sing along to trailer trash(which it seemed 90% of the audience wasn't doing) and 2) How could you not dance during cowboy dan(which it also seemed like 90% of the audience wasn't doing). Modest mouse was great, the crowd was really boring. That version of cowboy dan they played was by far the high point of the show, completely blew me away. I could barely make out the crazy guitar parts in tundra/desert, and there was no awww shit to anchor me. There was one part of the show, where issac was flooded with blue light, and sort of turned his back to the audience...I saw one kid up front snap a shot of him..that would be an awesome picture. I have never seen a crowd so afraid to touch one another. Mark anticipatory causation is resperatory. Blieb immer locker. PS..I am sorry to those in front who got hit by that would be crowd surfer, he asked and I obliged...it seemed like a good thing to do at the time.

ok ok the music is very good, and different, but the vocal harmonies and what not, they all had nearly the same feeling.
