[MMouse]: Best Live Mouse Experience
I drove all the way to Pullman from Seattle in 97 (?) to see Built to Spill, Modest Mouse and 764-Hero. Modest Mouse's van broke down and were not going to make it so BTS went on second. This was just before "Perfect from now on" came out and they played mostly songs from the newest one which was really cool. At the end of the BTS show Dug got really excited when he heard Modest Mouse had just arrived. They played after BTS and it was great. After the show Doug was actually standing outside the venue thanking people for coming! My best rock experience probably. My second best would be tie between almost all of the unwound shows I have seen. xoxo andy

Most people are way off base when they say a band is selling out. But I think it would be a fun contest to come up with a list of the most sell-out bands of all time. My vote would have to go for Metallica. I mean they were a great coked out metal band, at the fore front of that genre, and then out of no where, they become ALTERNATIVE. Yuck. The Get Up Kids are fun and all but I wouldn't say they are sell-outs. There music has never changed much, maybe gotten tighter. I like their music but that video is aweful. andy xoxo
[MMouse]: Red Stars Theory 7
You can pre-order the new RST 7" from Suicide Squeeze Records on their website. It has a John Coltrane cover and a remix of North to Next Exit. Pretty good stuff. xoxo Andy

What do people think of Pinback, I think they are great and would like to know if they are touring for their new album.

Nicole Johnson is in no way related to Calvin. She goes to UW. Think about how common the name Johnson is.

What do people know about the MagicMagicians? I saw that they are playing a benefit show for COCA :(conter on contemporary art where my main squeeze works!). They are listed as a John Atkins side project but I know nothing of it. Also at Milky World, an art gallery in Belltown, is an exhibet using the nickelodeon camara as art. Jeremiah Green has stuff up at the show and it should be for sale. Does any one know about his art work. He always d0es such a great job with the Red Stars Theory stuff and he has mad style! xoxo Andy

Can some one send me the track listing for the Japan EP, I have the CD but not the cover.
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n601
I will email the people back about the tour CD and Singles comp on Wednesday when I am finished with school, I will do one for all the people that have emailed me so far. xoxo Andy
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n558
EVERYBODY knows that the best song to fuck to is Never Going to Dance Again by George Michael. The sax solo IS passion. xoxo Andy
[MMouse]: Rare Beck Album
To those interested: Beck's "Golden Feelings", previously only a tape has been pressed onto Cd. I think they only pressed 1000 copies but some are still available at parasol.com.

Ugly Cassanova is going to have a 7" out on Western Vinyl as part of a portrait series where the artist writes two songs from the point of a person in a portrait. Other notables in the series are Will Oldham and Songs:Ohia. Someone inquired awhile back about Three Second Kiss. They have an EP out on Slowdime, I've only been able to find it on Insound. It rawks!!! xoxo Andy
[MMouse]: Label Web Pages
I was curious as to every one's favorite record label webpage according to content and design. It seems you can always find good info on Suicide Squeeze, Doghouse, Tree, and Temporary Residence Limited but others seem almost useless. What do the rest of you modest mouse listeners feel? xoxo andy
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n334
Can anybody tell me about the black heart procession(?). They are playing with red stars and 764hero and Im thinking about checking it out. Do people agree that the breakroom gets the best shows in seattle? Love Always, andy
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n325
Dont come to the northwest for scenster free shows. They only get worse around here, I would bet worse than any where else. Tons of scenesters who don't realize they are just directionless groupies. Rhys, you can get the new Get Up Kids 7" at Ebay.com for a little over $50. Andy
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n272
I am a smoker of pot and drinker of alcohol and I am a listener of indie rock and I like basketball sometimes and I will be a fan of the Seattle Seahawks again starting next year. PS i just got the bonnie prince billy album and the all city 7", both are excellent. Does anyone have any more info on the mm all city 7"? Are their releases in limited quantities? I am also wondering about the Marine Research/ Built to Spill 7". Has anybody listened to Marine Research? Love Always- Andy
[MMouse]: BTS show
One of the opening bands is The Delusions, with Tim Roth also playing guitar with BTS. I haven't heard anything about MM playing. Built to Spill is playing here in Seattle on March 12th and the ad says "Built to Spill with special guests." The last time they made that claim, Modest Mouse was the special guest. Does any one know if MM is playing with Built to Spill on March 12th?
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n257
The Delusions are playing with Built to spill in seattle.
