[MMouse]: modest movie!
hey this was on a music news website...or something like it... - modest mouse movie due this summer Jam band extraordinaire Modest Mouse is going to the movies. Home video giant Image Entertainment announced at their website that the company has secured the theatrical distribution rights to "Modest Mouse: Bittersweet Motel," a documentary shot over the course of two years on the road. "Both fans of Modest Mouse and general audiences are in for a real treat; 'Bittersweet Motel' is a superb performance piece as well as an extraordinary look at this unique band," Imagine CEO Martin Greenwald said in a press release. "We will take a very aggressive stance in promoting the program through both grassroots and traditional marketing channels." "Bittersweet Motel" was filmed on the road in the U.S. and Europe. It was directed by Todd Phillips, who recently received a prize for best documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. His previous films include "Hated," a profile of scatological performance artist G.G. Allin, an HBO documentary about college hazing rituals called "Frat House", and the Tom Green comedy "Road Trip", which opens tomorrow (Friday). The film will make its theatrical debut in late summer, with DVD and video release to follow. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: mödest möuse ön mars
hey i saw mouse on mars last night. not very modest mousish. but in a way it sorta reminded me of them becuz they have a mouse in theyre name and all the wierd little sounds that infect their music. it was very spiffola. i think that modest mouse and mouse on mars should join together and form modest mouse on mars. sorta like the 764-hero thing and sounding like Heart cooks brain. oh dudes... i just burned the coolest cd last night. im so exited... it has all my favorite dance hits from the early 90s... i gotta man, vanilla ice, mc hammer, tribe called quest, tone loc, sir mix alot, run dmc, house of pain, dee lite, technotronic. its like being 13 all over again. groove is in the heart. zach Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: misc. responses
okay first i'll start with a joke i heard last night (name dropping here..) by a guy in this crazy cool band called Trailer Bride... How man indie-rockers does it take to change a light bulb? *said sarcastically:* you dont know? and then someone else can respond: i got that joke on vinyl. anyhow. there was this cool show last night where this insurgent country band called the Blacks did a bunch of tom waits songs. Here is a rock-star dream i once had years ago... me and snoop doggy dog were fighting in a bakery with all these conveyor belts with flour and unbaked bread moving on them. i dont remember exactly why snoop dogg was mad at me. i think cuz i was an unphat white kid or something. and then eddie vedder was there and he was all pissy and wanted to beat me up too. at one point snoop dogg had me pinned on a conveyor built and was choking me and we were moving along to some big vat of dough or something. Moon and Antartica title. i doubt if it has anything to do with blade runner. i think thats just a coincidence. isaac doesnt strike me as a big blade runner fan, besides its a very poetic title. images of desolation and wide open spaces. whiteness and purity as well as darkness and coldness. themes that modest mouse have always seemed to be interested in. being inspired from blade runner would detract a little from these connotations i beleive. but whatever. its all subjective. zach Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: wowee zowee
hey! wow! i just heard the new albumwow... its different but in a good way. it reminds me of listening to both LCW and Long Drive in a big cave. echoes and spooky noises. it feels confined and dark, which seems to be at odds with the expanse and emptiness that the title suggests. crowded. claustrophobic. my biggest complaint is that the new version of Dark Center of the Universe lacks the energy that the japanese tour e.p version has. it seems flatter. Someone mentioned how I Came As a Rat was a bad title for a bad song... i dunno im really starting to dig this song. And Tiny Cities Made of Ashes sounds like Beck. i dont know what to make of this. it's a great song, but it's a Beck song. Oh, and getting a bit to analytical and most likely reading into it way to far, (and fearing bringing up old wounds...) but does anyone else think that Perfect Disguise could be about the issac vs. unamed person rumour that was rampant last year? okay. this has been my schizophrenic/ A.D.D. review Z __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: off the topic.......wafflehouse revisited
y'know i miss the wafflehouse discussions we had awhile back. it was the most amazingly funny-for-no-sane-reason discussion i have ever had (typed?). Anyhow, today i would like to address the topic of dopplegangers. Dopplegangers are growing in population these days and are a major concern to non-dopplegangers. What if one's doppleganger was confused for the actual person? this could cause some mass-hysteria. I beleive that all dopplegangers should clearly present themselves as "persons-name-here #2" to minimize any chance of mistaken identity. this problem is even more severe when regarding the inter-net. without being face to face with the person (dirtling) you are corresponding to, you cannot always pick up on the subtle nuances and mannerisms that sometimes seperate the doppleganger from the original. we should all be aware of these dopplegangers. theyre out there and sometimes you even end up in the same room with them and dont even know it until someone emails you about it.

[MMouse]: re: epic
i doth protest any level of crappiness asserted to nirvana. And as far as modest mouse losing any greatness due to epic records i find this absurd. i have total faith in modest mouse's integrity as artists/musicians and i dont think they would have signed to any label where they wouldnt be in control over their art. this maybe a naive viewpoint but i beleive it to be valid and true. The japanese ep does sound cleaner and more mature but this has nothing to do with being signed to a major label. bands just evolve. i particularly like the new stuff just as much as their older stuff. Besides, even if epic has any control over their sound, in 2 years when modest mouse are big rock stars and are playing the mtv music awards and are on the cover of rolling stone they will then have even more power to make any sort of sounding record they want. but then again...we dont want that...

[MMouse]: flaming lips/BTS
Although this doesnt necessarily have anything to do with waffles, this might be of intrest anyways... Last saturday i saw the flaming lips and it was great but the point here is that after the show i asked Wayne if they would be touring with BTS and he said that he wanted to but Doug didnt feel like touring right now but there might be a couple of N.Y. shows together. So it was kinda of a mixed response. He called Doug Martsch a "wierdo" and was looking forward to meeting him. I dunno, i never really thought of Doug as wierd, but Wayne on the other hand... he's pretty damn wierd. Back to waffles for a moment... Does anyone know where i can find a Hello Kity Waffle Iron? do they exist? Maybe waffle house should make Official Waffle House brand Waffle Irons. ---Zach __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: waffle house represent
i think there should be a movement to establish more waffle houses across the U.S. Theyre should be like turf-wars with McDonalds. It would be grand fun. It would be our mission to usurp the McDonalds empire with our Waffle House Revolution. In high school I started the Canadian Liberation Front which acted on the premise that all of the continental U.S. was Occupied Canada and we (me and 5 friends) were planning on returning it back to Canada. We succesfully stole the us flag from our school and raised the maple leaf. We also distrubeted pamphlets explaining our cause. It was dorky but what else can you do in the middle-of-nowhere missouri? Well, anyhow, The Waffle-House Revolution could be kinda similar. At least we could raise some waffle house flags over mcdonalds, or throw waffles at mcdonald employees. I bet those things could stick to walls or even skin with eneogh syrup. viva la waffle revolution! Z.A.C.H. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: WAFFLE-STEAK
oh yeah, in indiana they have these places called "Waffle Steak" which looks exactly like waffle house but just named different, yet i did see this generic looking hand-painted road sign that was advertising a waffle-house but was definatly not the same waffle house chain. Interesting no? Also when i had grits at waffle house, they were cold. Im not positive, but i dont think grits are supposed to be cold. Which brings me to my next digression, I was grocery shopping last week and saw a box of "smooth grits" doesnt this seem like an oxymoron? Arnt grits supposed to be gritty? Its like saying "Cream of Sand" or something. I dont get it. I just want to add that im enjoying this wafflehouse discussion much more thouroghly than i was the aetheist one.

[MMouse]: The Moon and Antartica
Colin says the title is "The Moon and Antartica" which is a great title and it surprises me how close "Driving to Florida to get to the Moon" is to it. well, okay its not to close, but it involves the moon. I think both would be fine titles. zach __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: waffle stomp
hot damn. waffle house! i recently discovered the bliss of waffle house last november while visiting my sister at her college in NC. i went at like 3am. it was so awesome. there should be a waffle house cult. it would involve truck drivers, stoned teenagers and poor-ass southerners. everything contains 90% meat though __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: driving to floridia to get to the moon
modest mouse always have the oddest album titles. what does everone else think about this new title? i think it seems to fit in the series of "this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about", "the lonesome crowded west" and "building nothing out of something". "interstate 8" and "fruit that ate itself" dont really fit in as well but hey. This new one even sort of reflects the space themes they seem to be adopting lately. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
