[MMouse]: WoW hall show
I went to the WoW show last week, as well as the show at the Crystal a couple of months ago, and I'm glad I went to both--they mixed up the set list a lot. If I recall correctly, the Crystal show was every song off of KILAS, plus a few others. The WoW show had maybe five KILAS songs, plus Randy Describes Eternity, Stop the Show, Kicked it in the Sun, In the Morning, a Love as Laughter (I mean L/A/L) cover and the real kicker--they played "Car", which I've never seen played live before, and the entire crowd sang along to the first verse. Doug sheepishly retreated from the mike and let us sing. He had the biggest grin on his face--it must be an incredible feeling to know that a whole room of people cares deeply about a song you wrote. As for the Delusions guitarist, he seems to be getting the hang of it. He seemed a little out of place at the Crystal show, but much better at the WoW show. He still doesn't have the fluidity of Doug's playing, which makes his lines stand out, rather than blend in nicely like on the album, but he's getting htere. I still think they should turn the slide guitar down though. Love, Dan Dan Reynolds http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~bankrupt "Hey, what indian tribe occupied southern california?

[MMouse]: new pavement
ok. i heard the new pavement for the first time yesterday, so i'm not too sure about how i feel about it...i love the 5th track the most so far. the album overall strikes me as odd because it's the same pavement sounding like a very different pavement, does that make sense? it's very obvious that that nigel guy who produced ok computer was involved...that's probably why it sounds so weird. it's kinda spacey and clean, which i think is due to him, and that style seems to work better for radiohead than for pavement. i guess they have to try different things to avoid an artistic stagnation, though. what does everyone else think? my love to you all-kirstin.

Fwd: Re: [MMouse]: whenever you see fit/UGLY CASSANOVA info.
This song is NOT from "Long Drive..." It is from a split 12" with 764-HERO...kind of a combo of both the bands. It's available thru UP (UP058), and Suicide Squeeze Records (S008). It's worth the purchase, although the entire thing is just this one song, but that is just one guy's opinion. Somtimes No It Alls Don't Know It All. While I am at it, there is a 7" out on Magic Eye Recordings with an Ugly Cassanova track on it "To Roads to Go, To Roads To Go" Scratched into the plastic of the record it says, "'The world doesn't need another side project'" I don't know if this is universal, or if this is on limited pressings of an already limited pressing. Collectors will want it, but the song is mediocre. Interpret what it all means yourself. I have my own theories. Cordially, Moose Mcgillicutty. (ups to pen and borno) man.. i dunno whether to flame you or not on this one. im leaning towards flaming based on that little "im cool cuz i smoke weed in the morning" thing you did in the last email but alas.. i am a pacifist. its from "this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about", modest mouse's first full feature length album. ruxx Musicman wrote: > > > kristin, > > i totally agree with you on the lyrics.

[MMouse]: Basic rights - liberatarians
Good morning! Any debate on freedoms/basic rights (at least in the US) should keep these two source documents in mind: THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. (paragraph 2) THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. (Preamble) That's all I plan to say on this list... I'll take on any of you jokers, give you the civics lesson you deserve! Off-list of course! (BTW, :-) :-) Oh - how about this: As a tie in to a controversial MM issue, the Declaration of Independence was written by a man who raped slaves. (There can't be consent when you own your partner - Sally Hemings wasn't allowed the "right" to decline.) Does this fact make that document any less valid? Do the words have meanings beyond those which the author intended, are there emotions or meanings that the writing can evoke, even when coming from an "impure" source? ta- DAVE!!!

[MMouse]: Joan of Arc
I thought I saw some people posting how much they liked Joan of Arc recently so I was excited to see them play with Pedro the Lion. I thought they played a tough set. I thought there was definite potential, but it really never came together during the show. Is there anyone else who saw them play in Seattle that can confirm or deny this statement? It seemed as if after the first song a few technical problem effected the rest of the set. How do they come across on the album? In other news, what do you think of the new Pavement? Sean

[MMouse]: my thoughts this morning
my thoughts this morning, in response to the list postings i just readi don't really mind if the content is non MM, it's nice to talk about other things with people all over the world who are connected by one thing-kinda interesting i think. the weed thing...it's your decision if you wanna be stoned from the beginning of the day til the end, not my personal approach, but it's your life, i'm not gonna lecture you for it. the last thing i had a thought on-how do you know isaac brock knows what he wants to do with his life? his lyrics don't reflect that he does. the lyrics seem very sure about being unsure. for me, that's part of the appeal. i have a question for you all-if your life had a soundtrack, what would the main, or theme song be? (doesn't have to be a MM song) it's hard to decide, but i lean towards edit the sad parts. just thought this might be fun. you all take care-kirstin.
[MMouse]: A Thought on Indie Snobbery
OK so I can understand that when someone starts getting into a band later in their career that they will get pissed off when someone critisizes them for not being a "real" fan. Now I am speaking generally here so if I offend anyone then it's your own fault for putting yourself into a catagory. I personally don't put myself into any type of stereotype because there is a huge range in my tastes. I understand when someone gets pissed that a newcomer likes their favorite band. I belive the original fans for the most part have gone out of their way to find music that isn't the radio play that the majority of people listen to. Then they usually find a certain gem that is their own that not many people know about. Then this gem gets famous and the original fans usually are pretty mad because the newer fans merely turn on the radio, here a song that they like from the band, and go out to buy every single album from the band. I don't think it's only an indie thing. It happens with all kinds of "underground" music. It's more of a conformity thing than an "i liked them first" deal. At least thats how I feel. Alternative music became big a few years back. "Alternative" originally meant an alternative to mainstream. this became a contradiction once it became popular. Those are my thoughts. Flame me if you will. Liz
[MMouse]: BTS + basic rights
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > The point of libertarianism is that the government has no > legitimate purpose other than to protect the rights of the > individual. The problem here is that hardly any political factions are capable of agreeing on what those basic rights are. "basic rights" is a politically evasive and ill-defined term. I'd discuss this further off-list. I can't believe that guy couldn't remember what album 'talking shit' was from. sheesh. toke somemore, dude. those aussies will never make it off that island at this rate. i know there were some people who are from oregon area on this list.. did any of you go to the WOW hall (eugene) BTS show last week? I skipped it cuz I saw them last month at the crystal ballroom - a show that kicked ass. but, i have to say that I wasn't a big fan of that delusions guitarist. comparisons? i saw BTS at WOW hall maybe last year too.. really small show. i liked the smaller, cleaner sound in that show (although WOW hall isn't really the best concert hall ever). maybe i'm getting old. -selena

[MMouse]: Out of print
The only item out of print in the Modest Mouse catalog (that I am aware of) is the Magic Eye Singles compilation with the song "Mice Eat Cheese." I purchased both full-lengths on LP at a show last year for $10 a piece, and I know for a fact that Up has them both available. On a related note, the only 7" to have gone out of print at all so far is "A Life of Arctic Sounds" b/w "Medication" on Suicide Squeeze, which is into its second run now. And the most difficult piece to obtain would be "Never Ending Math Equation" b/w "Workin' on Leavin' the Livin'" on Sub Pop, which was sold exclusively as part of the new Sub Pop Singles Club (which costs $40 to join, at which time you receive 6 7" rekkids). I hope that clears a few things up. ALSO: Although this Libertarian thread is fascinating political fodder, I personally would prefer if it would continue offlist through private exchanges. Arguments like these tend to repeat the same basic sentiments time and time again until someone finally decides not to reply. I am not immune from getting caught up in the same emotional arguments, but I also recognize when it is time to remove the conversation from the public eye if its true purpose is only to exchange ideas and not incite discontent.
