[MMouse]: no need
there's really no need to be mean over a discussion about a band. i'm on this list because i enjoy meeting people who are into the same stuff, not becaue i'm "never going to meet them so i don't care." there's enough hostility in the world. i don't need it here too. the condescending tone isn't too cool either-i think most of us knew built to spill has more than 2 albums. and if some people didn't, who really cares? i love the people i talk to in the whole indie scene silliness, but i get upset at the indie snobbery that tends to surface from time to time. maybe it's the hippy in my blood, i really think we should all just learn from each other and love each other. on the learning note, i was wondering if any of you know why modest mouse isn't going to be at the 4th of july thing? weren't they initially going to be there? kirstin.

Although it isn't really, I still love(d) it. I like that one where the drums go and then stop for lyrics, then go again. I always thought you did that while joking around, pretending you were in a band and not knowing any instruments other then banging on a drum. It's good.

go out and get the new joan of arc album right now! i got it today. at first listen, i was dissapointed. its just different. kinda a mix between joan of arc and bedhead. by the seccond listen, i was in love. its a new sound for them, and it takes some getting used to, but it is truely beautiful. -wyatt ps: tim has gotten back to the trumpet. just like in the cap'n jazz days. ___ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Re: [MMouse]: built to spill
>>I have no trouble starting this war: Keep it like a secret is good. BUT when listened to in respect of Perfect from now on, it is crap. PFNO is a masterpeice.<< Preach on my brother! Finally someone with sense. The new album is good, but in no way compares to the last 4 albums. (Yes kiddies, there's more than 2) I miss the old built to spill. I know I am going to get flamed for this but it's ok. I don't know any of you and i never will Liz.

bts didn't play "time trap" on conan o'brien, it was "you were right"...i think it's a good song even tho it's just quoting other songs--but either way, it *sounded* terrible when they played it. xoxo nicole ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

I knew you guys were still alive. Alright, so it isnt exactly a trite peice of crap(i was just angry because i would much rather have heard time trap or really any other song than that one) What made me say that dug is lazy because of the money is because he himself said basically the same thing in a local indie rock mag from new joisey...he said he went into the studio KNOWING that he was not going to make a song over 5 minutes because it was "too much work"...take it for what you will..as for the other part, true, the melody is wondeful, but so what? So many bands out there make wonderful melodies and great chord progression and all of it, but what puts dug on this amazing level is his ability to blend perfect lyrics with amazing music..and i always hated that stupid line were all just bricks in the wall regardless, its metaphor for five year olds..i expect a lot of dug, and when he doesnt meet my expectations i think i have the right to be upset..just as im upset when anyone with boundless talent uses only a small fraction of it.

hey, so I'm sure a lot of you have heard the new Ben Folds, yes? If you haven't gotten it yet, I would definitely recommend it. If you get it at Best Buy, you can get a video with it too with some live stuff such as Brick, etc.. and it's only $19.95, very wise buy indeed. I've been pretty quiet lately. I haven't had much to contribute to your conversations, since I haven't been listening to the new Tortoise/Ex or any BTS. I loaded up on some jazz last week and have immersed myself in that. Eric Dolphy, Out to Lunch; Miles Davis, E.S.P; Cannonball Adderley, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy; Herbie Hancock, Maiden Voyage; and John Coletrane, the Complete Impulse Studio recordings.. That will keep me busy for quite some time. but I really wanna get that new Isotope shite. kram
[MMouse]: adhesive?
remember that modest mouse tribute tape thing? well i was just wondering if that was still happening.. i talked to carrie (i think it was??) a while ago about it, but now i can't find her address but i thought you were on this list.. anyways. i wanted to know because our band is recording again in three weeks and if that was still happening we were going to do those songs too. let me know, jes ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

[MMouse]: BTS.
Hey, I must go out on a limb and say that Keep it Like a Secret was the first Built to Spill album I heard from them. Since I've listened to it I've gotten the privilage to hear other works by them and I must admit that they all make a better impression on me as well as stay longer in my cd player. Ironically, I'm glad that Keep It Like A Secret was the first album I heard from them since I can still appreciate it after listening to all their other stuff. It might lean way towards one side or the other in comparison to their other albums, but I still think it holds steady ground on its own. Enjoy music, thats all todd
