Actually, Brandon, nobody knows how to define indie rock. Not because of the new marketability of power-punk-pop, not because of the fact that WB owns 49% of subpop, but because all decisions are made by a senile -- yet wise -- old man, who happens to be my grandfather. People always bitch about 'labels' and what have you because the truth is too chaotic and confusing to accept. My grandfather determines the fate of the indie rock world, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. And I asked my grandfather about you, and he said you sound like an indie rocker, but he wants you to post your drug habits to the modest mouse list before he makes his final decision. Apparently, this has something to do with it. good luck, Sam -- Sam Leininger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ""We control our thoughts which mean nothing, and not our emotions which mean everything." -- _Masculin, feminin_

[MMouse]: frying on the symptom
hmmm... as far as smoking pot, i greatly enjoy listening to music, much more actually than when sober. favorites being halobenders, stereolab, and, oh, the pixies (but them moreso when i'm drunk). however, it's odd really that such a question should come into my life. I hate returning home to my surburbanite hometown, meeting up with friends who either dropped out of college or didn't make it, for varied reasons nonetheless. they can praise issac's lyrics, but i mainly look back on them in retrospect, more of a lesson than a more-than-life rut. It's sad really to see all those people i love, more when i saw them everyday in high school, resort to constant, excessive pot-smoking, speed, crank, 'shrooms, drinking (which i condone, but responsibly [i.e. rule out the chances of a DUI)... and all the like. i can't relate, having chosen life (yes, to take cliche to heart)... they're all such wonderful people... but FUCK IT! not to be selfish, just to figure what i want out of life than to intoxicate it all away, --Jacob p.s. i wrote this awhile back, but it never seemed to get through. i'm sorry to continue the thread. also, it's nice to go home (my sarcasm)to see one of my friends (from high school) get a DUI, and another to have his parents discover pics of him and friends snorting all sorts of shit and drop acid... especially when they went to the police. and then being drug around by my merry pot-smoking friends through the shittiest parts of tulsa, ok to get high and eventually end up at denny's on the other side of town bahhh and this never seems to make it to the correct address... maybe now __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

" I guess if you wanna label, you're not indie. hehe. Hope you're still confused." Obviously i am confused, i thought i asked what indie rock was, not "can i be an indie rocker too?" I also thought this list was for modest mouse fans to share info, but maybe that was just a silly label. other than that, grandpa sounds like quite a guy, and you can tell him that i don't do drugs and i used to drink but i stopped. i just decided it wasn't for me. i have nothing against people who do, as long as they don't rely on it to have a good time.

[MMouse]: indie rock.
now, does being an indie rocker have anything to do w/ the way you dress. If so, anyone can be an indie rocker. do you have to be devoted to indie rock to be an indie rocker? what if i like prince and michael jackson? Maybe more or less it is a being. A state of mind. The music inspires you to be and act a certain way. I guess if you are in an indie rock band you are automatically one step up on the indie rock ladder. but what if you don't consider your band indie rock? Do you have to have certain urges as an indie rocker? Like to go to the salvation army and to be into the arts of some form. are you automatically restricted from being an indie rocker if you are the vp of some company or like a car salesman or something. can michael eisner be indie rock? what if i'm into the music, but i love to dress like a super slut or something. what makes indie rock "indie"? Maybe it will be coined indie, but indie no longer represents the word independent. Kind of like with Modern art. The art is no longer modern. but this whole time frame is represented as modern. and what about post-modern art? by definition post-modern art would be ANY art afterwards forever i'm confused. oh well

[MMouse]: Drugs
I haven't done any drug, besides alcohol in 5 years. I used to do a lot of drugs, shrooms, acid, speed, pot.etc.but I had a very bad experience about 5 years ago, and quit everything, but the occasional drink. I have tried to smoke pot, and for some reason it has an adverse affect on me. Instead of feeling mellow and good, it makes me feel jumpy and a bit paranoid. Although, I really wouldn't mind doing an hallucinogenic again. :) nancy

I believe the Happy99 worm virus thingy attacked my computer from this list, so to anybody else that got it, go here: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/happy99.worm.html This site will tell you how to remove it. star ps i have to agree one who ponders what exactly an "indie rocker" is misses the point entirely. why is there such a need for labels? it's all so silly. and pointless.
