[MMouse]: NOISEPOP
How come nobody's mentioned NoisePop yet? Anyone going? A bunch of good bands are playing like Deathcab for Cutie, Fiver, Magnetic Fields, For Stars, Kyle from Fuck, Trackstar, Beulah, Bob Mould, The Loud Family, Alien Crime Syndicate, Man or Astroman, oh, and my band Earlimart is opening up for X. How rad is that? ashod.
Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
Right. For one, you're mostly talking about St. Paul. I don't mean to be picky, but Minneapolis and St. Paul have completely different atmospheres. For two, they don't build the ice castle every year. In fact, they haven't come close to building a huge one in years. And I really don't want everyone to think that all Minnesotans sit around and look at ice all winter. I would completely disagree about the State Fair too. It's disgusting and there are so many better things you could be doing on one of our ten thousand lakes or at a great concert. Alright, here's my disclaimer: I'm feeling argumentative this evening.

minneapolis is pretty cool. That Dog sings about it and Briana lives here.what could be better. michael yes minneapolis is splendid! i've always mentioned this whenever someone starts a thread about itbut now i can give some reasons why. during the winter - during the winter there's all this fun stuff to do. there has never been a christmas like a minnesota christmas. us fine scandanavian folks enjoy the ice castle which iswell...pretty fucking huge and costs millions of dollars to build each year. they put these beautiful pastel lights up against the ice and it gleams with a rainbowesque glow. i used to stand in the large crowd in awe at it wishing i could go inside and pretending what it'd be like. i'm such a dreamer :P we also have these ice sculpture contests near the capital (ok this stuff is in st. paul technically but it's all the same ;)) where these sculpture artists work on different figures and i think they're the only people in all of minneapolis who hope that it doesn't get warm. we also have these sweet sled type things where you can go down this really steep hill thing on a slide thingie and oh it's just fun and not quite the same as sledding in a park. i can't explain it but if you saw it you'd see why. we also have red and black vulcans who come up and kiss you at random. we're also home to the most awesome christmas parade ever which basically runs down where nicolet mall is. i love nicolet mall. i swear we're home of the most skyways in the world but i'm probably bullshitting then ;) we do have lots of skyways tho. OH AND DAYTONS! they turned the top floor of the old daytons into this neat thing where at christmas time you can see all these neat light shows and stuff..you walk through them. late summer - two words: STATE FAIR :P we were one of the first state fairs that sampled off "dots," the little bubble ice cream things. we also have that huge slide that you can go down and the butter statues that you can view from the dairy building. point being: if you wanna go to an awesome college and an awesome city..MINNEAPOLIS IS FOR YOU :P - amy

Is there a Portland, Maine? I always thought it was in Oregon... yeah there's a portland, maine. portland oregon is a metropolitan area as you know i'm sure (i don't wanna sound condescending, sorry, i'm not trying to be :P) and i think portland, maine is moderately large as well...but not quite metropolitan size. they're both kinda water cities tho so it doesn't surprise me. i dunno if either are really close to the shores or anything but...they're in water states anyway ;) - amy
[MMouse]: Fodor's Guide to Portland..... Maine
All, Indeed, there is a city in Maine called Portland. No, not the place with the TrailBlazers, and Modest Mouse has never played there, but it does exist. The first time I realized this was when I looked at my driver's license and it told me that I live there. Lobster Land is actually quite a nice lil' city, don't let the fact that it is in Maine fool you. In case you happen to drive through it on your way to. uh nowhere, here are my recommendations: Music Store: Russ has mentioned Newbury Comics, always a reliable. Bullmoose Music ain't too bad. Movie Theater: Oh boy, where do i start? The Nickelodian Cinema is $1.50 a seat all the time. "The Movies" is cozy and shows good indie films. The Keystone serves food during your movie, decent food. Restaurant: Portland has the most restaurants per person in the U.S. with the only exception being San Francisco. Fresh Market Pasta is nice. If you're lookin' to get loaded, try Gritty McDuffs, an all american watering hole. Concerts: I've kinda lived in Maine (when not here at school) for a year and a half, and the only show I've seen there was Moby. There's really no reason for bands to go to Portland, so they generally don't. My parents didn't move there for the indie scene. Since most of you will never be in Maine, I apologize for cluttering your inbox, but maybe one or two people might be in the area and find this handy.. nope, probably not.

[MMouse]: fair use
> Difference: If you distribute material for free, you can make an argument > (often not accepted by the courts) for "fair use." Please get yr terms straight. "Fair use" refers to the use of copyrighted material in a manner which does not attempt to sabotage the commercial viability of the original "owner" of the material. The most obvious example of this is the band Negativland, who create songs which liberally sample commercial advertisements and commercial music without permission. The argument for "fair use" is that creating such sound collages is in no way infringing upon the sales of the original material. For more information on this, refer to the Negativland website, www.negativland.com - and while yr there, order some of their music, as they are one of the most essential artists of the past two decades. Russ is distributing material for free, some of which really is copyrighted. The Japanese EP, for example - just because it isn't available commercially in America does not mean the copyright does not still extend to it. This would be a good time to point out that importing a CD is illegal, period - even though almost any record store will order imports for you, it is technically quite illegal. I'm not some big advocate of copyright laws - I very much support Negativland and their attempts to reform "fair use" laws. However, copying an entire commercially available song and distributing it for free IS something I am against in principle. In practice, yes, if these are tracks which are nearly-impossible to buy, I don't have a problem with it. But it's a free world - if someone is enough of an idiot, and has enough cash to spare, to pay $50 for a CD of rare Modest Mouse tracks, I say let PT Barnum's Rule stand: There's a sucker born every minute (and why not take their money?). np:Flaming Lips, "The Abandoned Hospital Ship" -- Hard like Tarot cards, behold the one-man million man march.

Once someone, like eBay auctioneers, make a personal profit off it (ooh, that rhymes), fair-use arguments go out the window. Now, if someone was making offers to redistribute Russ's files for free to someone who wouldn't ordinarily get it, or offer to burn for cost of CD plus postage, that once again could fall under fair use. But you can't just use the libertarian argument that "whatever some idiot will pay for is OK to sell." So Russ's gripe does indeed hold water. Loring Wirbel Monument, Colo. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Slander I believe inherently involves spoken word. That is what seperates it from libel which demands written statements. Either way the statements must be proven to be lies. It is not enough for the person accused to say they are false. Once Russ or any person is accused of the crime of slander or libel the burden of proof is on the accuser. Russ would only have to show that it was reasonable for him to think his statements were true, and I think that the wankers e-mails show this quite clearly. declan
[MMouse]: Slander?
Hello all - I'm wondering the validity of this ebay guys statement that this is in fact "slander." For one, how can any court of law charge someone with slandering a person who is himself engaging in an illegal activity. Secondly, as far as I can remember, email and other forms of internet related items generally cannot be considered "slander" but then again, that was aways ago, and I'm sure in a different state. It's sad that such a person can cause Russ to have to put up a password because I know I was looking forward to downloading the new San Fran shows (especially the second one, since I had tickets but ended up not being able to go). In fact, I had tickets to see the mouse three times twice in July in Seattle and once in October in sanfran, and i only got to see them once because of the missed show in sanfran and the damned doormen at the showbox or wherever the 21+ show was in Seattle, maybe the croc. anyhow, it sucks that the actions of one hurt the community as a whole. in such cases, i think that "one" must be removed from the community. Furthermore, how can he call himself a mouse fan and yet, when we call attention to the fact hes trying to profit off the mouse, and he doesnt back down. which hick state was he from again? and, i guess I'll add my little plug because its been about 6 months since ive said anything, for those folks who are in the bay area, actually closer to san jose, and can get reception of KSCU 103.3 fm, I have a Northwest and Independent Rock show on fridays from 4-6p. You can listen to it over the internet too by going to the KSCU site @ http://www.kscu103.com and clicking on the webradio.com link. Also, my website has links, at http://www.geocities.com/kscugrendel. ok, I'm done plugging it, I just need some more listeners who know Northwest music. I always play the mouse and sunny day, and built to spill, and mxpx, and severna park, and a lot more, but generally people call up and request punk,. so my show has been degenerating into a punk show (not that i do not like punk, my show in its truest sense, though, is a celebration of Northwest music). Ok, thats all. - Cameron
