[MMouse]: mp3's and mo'
The lovely Karina says: "Which raises an interesting question: which is the more dangerous of the guilty pleasures : teen pop or smoking?" I say popping teen smokers would be the most dangerous. I'm not going to rant on about cigarette smoking, but I really do recommend checking out The Truth (http://www.thetruth.com/). You have undoubtedly seen their ad campaign, but dig a little deeper and learn about the pockets that are being filled at the expense of our generation's guilty pleasures. One person dies every 8 seconds from a cigarette smoking-related illness. Damn. And that says nothing to what is actually IN the cigarettes being made in the USA today. I noticed a little blurb on a Winston ad which I had to share with me friends, who seem to have fallen for the "No Additives" campaign: "No Additives does not mean a healthier cigarette." Face it, you're burning wood chips. If you must smoke, at least get something like Nat Sherman's, where you know you're smoking tobacco and not toothpicks, and you're not supporting Big Tobacco. They have enough money. And if you're smoking trees, make it seedless, kiddies. Now, back to the content: A few weeks back I provided a link to some live Modest Mouse mp3's from 2/26/00. I didn't really post that address anywhere outside of this mailing list, and as of yet no one has attempted to cash in on eBay. So I'd like to make another show available, but I need some suggestions. Another Modest Mouse show? Maybe another band? I have tons of Pavement, Sonic Youth, Palace, Pixies, Helium, Mogwai and quite a few others. But I need to hear from you. Gotta give the people what they want, gotta give 'em what they need.

Canters, i have too many stories about that place and i personally like their ceiling the best. and this is all hollywood stuff im talking. i know nothing about Orange County other than their overflowed population of Carl's Jr's. and Bobs, well the Bobs in Burbank is okay i think, i wont vouch for the rest. movies? dont ask me. record shops. uh Arons in Hollywood is always good.

[MMouse]: RE: sticker paper has a posse
There are only three things in the world that make me angry: 1. Getting lost while driving 2. Losing my wallet, credit card, or keys. 3. Posting to a mailing list and not having it show up!!! ARGGG I had a long post about ATGHAPosse and Shephard Fairy but it never showed up. So I'll try it all over again. Just interesting stories, mostly second hand, probably blown out of proportion... perhaps not.. but nevertheless adding to the freakiness of Shephard Fairy and Obey Giant story.. So he came to Austin around the time SXSW was here and stayed with my friend's friend's and had a poster show with my friend's friend's brother. There is another local artist who does knockoff posters and sticker of the big eyed kids from the 70's.. kinda cool, but certainly not original as there were already so many knockoff's of the original Keene big eye kids, that he is knocking off the knock offs at this point. Anyways, this guy shows up and starts stickering the obey giant posters with his sticker. I guess he is thinking it's a cute thing to tag the grand tagger's art with his own, but it was only cute until Shephard Fairy pummeled the guy with his fists. I didn't see it, but word is he said nothing, just walked up and started beating the guy .. ? ! ? Also, he had no apparent posse here... he did all his work solo as far as anyone could tell.. and he did a pretty good job... giants all over the place... he had the forethought to put one on the biggest billboard right before you get to Dell Computers 15 miles outside of town in Round Rock.. at least a million people must have passed that sign in the months it was there until the rain finally washed it off. I first saw those stickers and posters in Philly about 3 years ago.. they were ALL over the place around South Street and I saw some of them in NYC also on the same trip. Yeah.. the guy's pretty dedicated. I'm not sure how he funds 'the posse'. This is fucked. http://www.salon.com/people/feature/2000/06/22/fairey/index.html Draw your own conclusions.

Okay, I'm not saying this to be a bitch, but who the hell cares what kind of music other people listen to? I'm not even saying this in an anti-elitist, lynch mob the indie snobs deal, I'm just saying, why does everyone care if someone likes N Sync or whatever? Does that hurt anyone? Pre-fab music is not a new thing. Who gives a shit if they don't play their own instruments or write their own songs? Guess what? Neither did Sinatra...and I'm not saying that he's the greatest musician either, but what's the big deal? I'd rather listen to a Britney Spears song then listen to most of the junk that people these days call indie rock. And I know this is an old arguement, but come on, does N Sync hurt anyone?

[MMouse]: stickers
to the person with the sticker paper: do you have enough to possibly distribute stickers to listers who want one (and are willing to pay a buck or so)? i really like the isaac brock has a posse one and i think whoever did it did a great job. id love one if you're willing to do it. shaYne of course "isaac brock for president" is an obvious second choice. =)

Yes, Small Time Crooks is worth the admission. No deep philosophical angst, but plenty of beautiful (soon to be classic) one-liners. Actually, I guess there was some philosophical angst in there also. Can't go wrong. As for other good Allen films (& I didn't see the 100 list), you can't go wrong w/ Broadway Danny Rose.

[MMouse]: another review
From chekout.com (a online music/movie/video game retailer). They usually seem to take their music section seriously, as they do cocert reviews and lots of features and interviews an such. Anyways, their album of the year for 1999 was Pavement's Terror Twilight, to which they gave a 9 out of 10. Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica 10 out of 10 Just when you think so-called modern rock has hit absolute bottom, something comes along that single-handedly yanks the genre from the wallow of its own fetid by-product and offers a life-changing experience in the process. And so it goes with Modest Mouse and their unassuming little 15-track opus The Moon & Antarctica. Everything about it -- the artwork, the colors, and, of course, the music -- renders meaning where the empty spaces had been. Easily the Gen-X equivalent to Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and the yang to Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream yin, the enigmatic Modest Mouse quietly roars with profound, yet simple, lyrics injected with layers and layers of all manner of guitars to create moods, sculpt rhythms and turn the wheels in heart and head. For three guys from Issaquah, Washington (vocalist/guitarist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy and drummer Jeremiah Green), they transmit more melodic revelations per square inch than most bands with twice as many bodies can project in their entire careers. In fact, never has the "less-is-more" adage been so spot-on. Brock's vocals assume and convey countless emotional nuances without compromising the genuine rock ethic, which underlies such diverse alignments as the alt country twang and spaceland drift of "Perfect Disguise" or the Lou Reed lilt and Pink Floyd anguish of "Alone Down There." But Brock isn't the only star around which The Moon revolves, though his acoustic and electric guitar work is never anything less than spectacularly skillful (and we're not talkin' wanking either). Judy and Green maximize the bass and drums as creators of the atmospheric rather than for their rhythmic faculties alone, as in "Gravity Rides Everything" and "The Cold Part." As interpretive and abstract as its title suggests, The Moon & Antarctica is an exploratory trip through the gray matter between your ears, insisting by way of its very eloquence and tough beauty that you actively listen and think. You'll be surprised by your own intelligence when contemplating the universal truths illuminated in searing music and words like "No one really knows the ones they love/If you knew everything they thought/I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up" (from "Lives") or "I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV/I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me" (from "A Different City"). And so it goes with the entire terrain of The Moon & Antarctica, casting shadow and light, cutting sharp and gliding smooth, highlighting the bizarre within the commonplace and underscoring the normal within the surreal. Moment for moment, there's not a more significant collection of songs to spend your life with, and it's the discovery of The Moon & Antarctica in the modern rock wasteland that makes the journey worth taking.
[MMouse]: Onion Review
Here's The Onion's review of the new album. Like pretty-much every review I've read, it seems positive, but it also seems like they just don't know what to say, like someone else pointed out. I guess that's cool that they're (still) such a confusing band: Modest MouseThe Moon & Antarctica(Epic)Every once in a while, in an effort to appear cutting-edge and daring, major record labels fall all over themselves trying to sign volatile, prolific, inconsistent, willfully uncommercial bands to long-term record deals. The trend dates back decades, but as Royal Trux will tell you, the results can fail miserably. That, of course, didn't stop Epic from sinking serious cash into Modest Mouse, which has spent its career dogged by rumors, rap sheets, and creative inconsistency. Just in case fans were worried that the big time would smooth out the edges of the group's brash, jerky sound, The Moon & Antarctica may be its weirdest record yet. A sort of concept album about cold and distant places--creepy sound effects and odd nods to science and space abound--these 15 songs rarely settle into one place for long, opening with the characteristically potent "3rd Planet" before veering off into weird cacophony, jarring interludes, mellow meanderings, and general tunelessness. What holds it all together, as always, is a strange sort of precision, lending lurching power to the strongest material, but The Moon & Antarctica's best moment may be its most amorphous. The album's nine-minute centerpiece, "The Stars Are Projectors," gets stranger and further removed from conventional rock arrangement as it goes along, incorporating swirling effects, stirring strings, and sweet acoustic guitar lines. It's the furthest thing from pop, and will likely be greeted with the furthest thing from pop success, but it sums up everything about Modest Mouse's exasperating, periodically brilliant racket. --Stephen Thompson

"i have been meaning to ask, what bands (or movies, books, etc) are the bands influences?" Treepeople, Beatles, Talking Heads & Pixies are the only ones I can remember being mentioned (but then that's from an interview that I just read today, which was linked from a review of the new record that someone posted to the list today...)

[MMouse]: rollingstone?
i dunno if this link was posted already or what but here is the
rolling stone review of the moon. 3.5 stars, i think thats what
they gave LCW way back when.
Up to this point, the Washington-state indie-rock trio
Modest Mouse has been captivated by the minutiae of
daily life. Now, as the title of their fourth album
suggests, they've gone macrocosmic. Moving beyond
the enclosed landscapes of 1997's The Lonesome
Crowded West, the band and producer Brian Deck
boldly roam from the homegrown country licks of "Wild
Packs of Family Dogs" to the otherworldly strings of
"The Cold Part" on their new album. What is lost in
warm immediacy is gained in eclectic cool: On "Tiny
Cities Made of Ashes," the band fractures its funky beat
into abstract percussive art. Singer-guitarist Isaac Brock
still sounds as earthy as dirt behind his veil of vocal
effects when he observes, "The world is my ashtray/Our
hearts pump dust/And our hair's all gray." With The
Moon and Antarctica -- a place where "the universe is
shaped exactly like the Earth" ("3rd Planet") -- Modest
Mouse show they can find microscopic humanity even
within the most expansive spaces. (RS 844/845)
NEVA CHONIN
ok so, i am absolutely blown over by the last little part
of "The cold part"- "i stepped down as president of antartica."
dont ask me why, that song as a whole is definitly one of my
least favorite songs that the mouse has put out. But that damn
line maybe my favorite section of the whole album.

[MMouse]: new album
Ok so I know exactly why I don't like the new album as much as Interstate 8 TIALDFSWNTTA LCW or BNOOS. I do like it, I am listening to it now but I prefer the other albums except for the self titled ep with the fruit that ate itself on it. First off I made an extreme point of not listening to the album before it came out, I also didn't pay attention to track listings, cause I didn't want to know. I had the ep on preorder from up and I must say I was disappointed that night on the sun wasn't on the lp cause I like it the best of songs on the ep. I kinda like I came as a rat, although I prefer the alternate title of Long walk off a short dock, the problem with the song for me is simple though. Does anyone else feel when they hear this song that they have heard parts of it in songs of various 70's bands? I can't really put my finger on it but at the fist change that guitar part sounds really familiar to me, plus the I don't know but I've been told lyrics just amplify that feeling. Ok now what I don't like about this album. What I loved about every other disc I got was the way one of the songs would just get jammed into my head and I would be singing it for a month or more. I drove my tentmate crazy on this one month snow camping trip a week after LCW was released because I kept saying the words to Cowboy Dan, and Truckers atlas. I also miss the mouse that was willing to take a little more of a chance. Like on Dog Paddle where they all switch instruments, I think they just kind of grew out of a lot of that unpolished improve stuff at their live shows. So anyway it is not that I don't think that some of the lyrics are good, it is just that they don't strike a chord with me the way that the lyrics to some of the other songs do. Anyone else feel like they lived the sleepwalking song that the mouse put lyrics to? Now that being said I am working on a 3 concert review of last weekend. I have now seen the mouse 12 times. I still enjoyed the show I saw first best but last weekend was 2, 3, and 4. Anyone who was there saturday in seattle saw the kind of energy that I saw for 2 hours at the first show I saw during the awesome redition of cowboy dan. I also loved the full on stage sound saturday. Normally when they bring another person in the past, be it violin, moog, or guitar I have thought it fit poorly and drowned issac but when their were like 7 people up there and it was still working that was totally the shit. I have been down on their live show from fall 97 until I saw them last january at the crystal when I thought hey they really seem to be coming back. Well they are back and they are fucking awesome. Anyone on the list that missed this tour, go to the next one the live show is happening again. bjorn oh by the way my review of my weekend of mouse will be on www.groovenw.com so check out the page and I will let you know when the review goes up.

This thought brings ME to another thought; I think a lot of the dissapointment with this album has to do with the fact that so many people heard it in other forms before it was released, and became attached to earlier, different versions of songs. In all honesty, I don't think it has anything to do with the album versions of songs being better or worse than "beta" versions (doesn't get much nerdier than that), I just think people just get attached to what they hear first. For example, I never heard any old versions of "Dark Center...", which I'd heard were far superior to the album version. Well, I downloaded a live version and the version from the Japanese EP, and I don't think either one compares to the album version. Just a thought... Makes me glad I didn't hear the album before-hand. >I'm also curious as to how these songs can come off as >"uninspired" to some people, especially when the band >has been playing some of these songs live for almost >two years.

If you want an example of "sterile" production hurting an album, check out Pavement's "Terror Twilight". Believe it or not actually, I think "The Lonesome Crowded West" sounds slicker than "The Moon & Antarctica"; that's why I've never liked it as much as "Long Drive". "TM&A" seems, in my mind, to regain the dark, mean vibe of "Long Drive". >Re: moshing at concerts >I think moshing was a lot more interesting to me when >I wasn't so concerned with actually watching the >musicians play onstage.

anyone know anything about the trembling blue stars? i came across them at borders last night and saw they're on subpop. so they can't be that bad, right? amazon has a brief review. sad music and the like. i must say i'm a sucker for sad music (bedhead, elliott smith, yo la tengo, etc). so before i fork over the dough i was hoping for some opinions from the list. thanks, robert

[MMouse]: new radiohead songs
i dont know who on this list is into radiohead or not, but i came across a site that has a few, new live songs on it. go to this url, scroll down to the bottom where it says 'Concert enregistr le 17 juin 2000 Frejus,' and there you will see a live show with scattered new songs. now, theyre listed as .zip files, but theyre not zips. if you want to save them, right click on the link go to 'save link as' and rename the file as a .mp3. the new ones are: optimistic, morning bell, dollars & cents, national anthem, in limbo, everything in it's right place & knives out. keep in mind, these are live mp3s...so the quality is sketchy at points. if you dont want to taint your radiohead experience, id say to hold out for the real album. there ya go. dont say i never did anything for ya. although, if this was posted before and i missed it, sorry. http://okcomputercctw.ce/multimedia/radiohead.html

[MMouse]: I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
First things first: When listening to the new album, I've noticed that it sounds like the boys lifted a guitar loop from the end of "Dark Center of the Universe" as part of the opening to "Gravity Rides." If you play track 3 followed by track 2, you'll hear that the very last guitar sound in "Dark Center," which is a note whose pitch is bent down and then back up to the original tone, is the foundation for the beginning of "Gravity Rides," with some percussive elements added by Jeremiah over that particular guitar noise (sticks tapping the rim of the snare, sounds like to me). This was something I noticed quite some time ago and keep forgetting to mention, it was a lot more obvious to me when the sequence of the album had "Dark Center" first and "Third Planet" third. Which brings me to another thought: How might this album have been different if "Dark Center" had opened it instead of "Third Planet" in the top slot? I really think that "Third Planet" segued into "Perfect Disguise" much better than "Dark Center," but this is just my opinion, of course. Please contribute yr random thoughts to the forum. I'm also curious as to how these songs can come off as "uninspired" to some people, especially when the band has been playing some of these songs live for almost two years. Again, just my opinion, but is it possible that people are finding the big production sound to be too sterile, and suddenly they think less of the songs because of the way they sound? I guess I just don't understand why some people are having such a hard time enjoying this album, there seems to be some kind of mental block attributed to clean sound and multiple overdubs. Granted, during the first few listens there are so many new sounds to soak up and contemplate, but I really believe that this one will grow on you, as it has for me. It seems that the more I hear it, the more I find new elements to the songs that I didn't immediately recognize before. And I can't get over just how heavy "Stars Are Projectors" is, I mean I heard it live about a year ago, but on the album it just sounds so full and meaty. *swoon* Something else I don't understand about the kids today: Why all this negativity about twin billings like Weezer and the Get Up Kids? These are two bands who specialize in power pop/rock, one whose lyrics are more personal and one whose lyrics are not. I really don't see what is so hard to understand about them playing together on a tour. Now if you're pairing Cat Power and Cock ESP, I can see yr query, but two bands with catchy distorted riffs and pogoing peeps? I'm of the belief that Weezer might be trying to reach a different audience with this new release (or maybe the same audience in a different place, if you know what I mean. Considering that "Pinkerton" had disappointing sales in Geffen's eyes, perhaps the band is attempting to get in touch with the people who are most likely to still be dedicated fans, like the kids who are listening to bands that are largely influenced by Weezer and other power pop/rock acts. And if the Get Up Kids are seeking exposure on MTV via 120 Minutes, wouldn't it make sense for them to play with a band who was once an MTV darling? If you ask me, Reggie and the Full Effect's "Girl, Why'd You Run Away" was by far the best Weezer song since Weezer themselves. And that, my friends, is a very good thing. Re: moshing at concerts I think moshing was a lot more interesting to me when I wasn't so concerned with actually watching the musicians play onstage. I think there's nothing more communal than a good group pogo, especially if Pavement is closing their encore in Towson last September with "You're Killing Me," "Conduit For Sale!," and finally "Unfair." I think it's great to be able to jump up into the air and bump into yr buddy while screaming "THIS IS A SLOW SICK SUCKING PART OF ME!!!" But moshing? Do you we really have that much pent-up rage and angst to spare at a Modest Mouse concert? Whatever happened to just jumping up and down instead of needing to run into people? And more importantly, who here wants to show their age and tell me they actually remember SLAM dancing? Now THAT was entertainment. *sigh* Where are my salad days? To those making Talking Heads comparisons, I think the only portion of "Paper Thin Walls" that reminds me of them is during the verses when Jeremiah is hitting a pair of agogo bells while playing a rather busy beat. Can someone else cite more examples? I like the fact that the Talking Heads used a lot of percussion in their songs. If percussion and drums are yr thing, might I recommend the album "Boomerang" by the Creatures. Schweet stuff. Some other random recommendations: - June of 44 - "In the Fishtank" - If you were disappointed with "Anahata," then pick this up and relive the magic. Their best in years. - Hot Snakes - "Automatic Midnight" - Bought this on multiple recommendations, and I was not disappointed. Gritty, loud a

[MMouse]: Re: weezer / the mouse / kscu

[MMouse]: weezer / the mouse / kscu
ok, so im pissed cuz i just spent like 20 minutes writing an email and then it didnt go through because the network here sux and it wouldnt give me my text back. changed computers and im off again, but itll prolly be shorter and not as good. first off, i went to the weezer / no doubt show in may '97 at the gorge. it was awesome because weezer tore it up, but i left the pit when no doubt came on stage (all that coke she does just makes her a little too energetic for me, you know?). so that was a good show and well worth the money! They came back (weezer that is) in July '97 too, that was a great show @ DV8. With Ridell High and someone else. oh yeah, and they were there in nov '96 too, or maybe it was oct, i dunno, but i missed the show cuz it sold out too fast, but they played that acoustic show in the cafeteria at shorecrest hs, that was broadcast live on the end (kndd) that is on the good life single and elsewhere. that was cool. so, weezer's been friendly to the NW, its too bad they wont be there on July 4, but ill still be here in cali at the show in SF watching weezer. everyone should go check out stunt monkey too, they're awesome. good guys too. ok, to the mouse. this isnt really about the mouse exactly, but yet another rant about santa cruz. so i was back down there for a show tonite, and i was outraged. for reasons you might not realize though. I went down for the stroke 9 show cuz ive met them a few times and they're good guys, yet people were moshing to stroke 9, how ridiculous... it got violent too, a circle, a fist fight. how can you mosh to them yet not mosh to the mouse? i guess all those 15 year old girls are just more rambunctious, cuz they all wanted to oggle the band. it was pretty bad. any how, ill leav santa cruz alone until i see another show doen there, but who knows when that will be, no good shows are linep up at this point. and, now to all those folks in the bay area, heres a message for you... on this Saturday, the 24th, theres another KSCU listeners appreciation party, and since we seem to switch off indie, punk, indie, punk... its time for indie again. Its at 6pm @ Channel One (763 The Alameda / SJ/ 408-280-1001) and the bands playing are Creeper Lagoon, Fiver, The Contrail, Mates of State. and Bunkbed. and its FREE!!! so go, itll be great. youll all be able to up your indie cred. and the last indie show we had, bright eyes played, and they werent all that big then, so think of who you might see here thatll blow up all big and whatnot. so, im done pluggin, adios. - Cameron

They played here at Red Rocks Amphitheater and it rained for the whole Weezer set, so it was really short and wet. Tickets were too much to begin with, and then we only got to hear a few songs. We didn't even stay for No Doubt...it was a kind of disappointing event. Hopefully they will come again and headline, and I think The Get Up Kids would be great to see as well...however, I dont know how I feel about those two bands together... *j* boulder co remember to remember to forget you forgot me
