Re: [MMouse]: philly rawwwwwk
If I had heard your shrill femme-chords shrieking out "talking shit" one more time I'd have had an aneurysm. - Matt i was about to have an aneurysm, too. that screaming was really obnoxious and it was obvious isaac was at least somewhat pissed about it. i've seen him make asses out of people like that before, so i guess he was just being nice that night. as far as pretty sunset is concerned, you can cry and scream all you want, but isaac said in early 1997 that he would never play it because he doesn't know it anymore. he said in lancaster that he's halfway through re-learning it, but until then, people don't have to be rude about it. the philly show was amazing...the longest set i've ever seen them play. mr. ferrari was a nice touch. i know some people on this list were talking about ticketmaster being a rip-off...i had a ticket that i got through ticketmaster that i ended up not needing for the show. the ticket was $11 and i sold it to a guy on the street who didn't believe that i paid $18.80 for it. so he only gave me 15. whatever, i took what i could get, but i was mad that he was so bitchy to me when i was doing him a favor by giving him a ticket. that's all for now, hezi Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: encores and tundra/desert
I have gone to many shows where there is no encore, and i found it a pleasant surprise that they were going to have one... yeah!! pretty surprising...9 out of the 10 modest mouse shows i've been to, they didn't do an encore. but people definitely screamed their brains out expecting one. but alas, never an encore. that one time that they did one was at princeton over my spring break last year. everyone yelled and screamed and they didnt come back out. so most of the people left the club. then like 10 minutes later, they came back out and did another song or two for like the 11 people who were still standing around. pretty cool. also, in response to the tundra/desert thing...9 out of the 10 shows i've been to they've played t/d...last. the other time they did styrofoam boots/it's all nice on ice. that was at the pontiac grille the last time they played there. i think it was the over 21 show. isaac was playing by himself for the styrofoam boots part, and jeremy was turning this light bulb on and off for atmosphere. then he and eric joined in for it's all nice... damn, that really rawked. hezibelle Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: 9:30 club...e. smith
First, is anyone on here from or around Virginia? i'm from DC. no, i'm from PA. but i go to school in dc. hence, "around virginia." is anyone going to the shows at the Black Cat in DC on May = 23rd and 24th? My friend and I are skipping school for two days to see them both nights. i'm def. going to the lancaster and philly shows, and if all goes well, i'll also be at the black cat shows. and you rock for missing school to see modest mouse. when i was in high school, my best friend and i missed school every single time modest mouse came to the east coast. a few of my "college visits" were actually mm shows. Is anyone going to Elliott Smith at the 9:30 club on the 12th? = Who is Whiskey Biscuit? BIG TIME! i just saw him at the black cat a couple months ago, and he was awesome. i can't wait. and i've definitely heard of whiskey biscuit, but i'm not sure where...maybe they're local? love hezi Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: tshirts and cowboy dan
i hadn't checked my mail for a few days, so my mailbox was bombarded with everyone's t-shirt ideas. i just wanna say YAY!! YES TO TSHIRTS! i think the idea of everyone buying their own is probably a good way to go about it, too. also...on the subject of the whole cowboy dan/pearl jam thing, i dont know what the original comment meant, but i do think people were right to assume that cowboy dan=isaac brock. there are several lines in the song which lead me to this conclusion, but the main one is "i didnt move to the city, the city moved to me." think about all the songs and lyrics (and interviews) that have made reference to buildings going up all over the place...for example: Remember the towns With fear and fascination On what was here And what's replacing them now Interchange causes a mall And crowded chain restaurants More housing developements go up Remember the things you replace So welcome to Minnow Brook And welcome to Shady Space But ultimely abrupt No I don't like this change of pace i think he once called it the "concreting over of america"?...or something like that. anyway, now you have my 2 cents. hezi Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: pointless
dude, Seth's point was that people on this list talk TOO much about modest mouse and NOT ENOUGH about other things. didn't you read it? and for the record, i totally disagree with him. hezi (who hates stupid arguments and thinks that if certain persons don't like the list, they should leave and not make a big deal about it.) I must agree with Seth i believe his name it. This is one of the 4 lists I've been subscribed to over the years and this one has gotta be the worse with off topic stuff. I dunno isn't there supposed to a moderator? If i wanted to talk about a million different bands or what movie i just saw I'd talk to my friends or go somewhere else where it was appropriate. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

theres two versions of whenever i breathe out. one comes from interstate 8 (prolly the version on building nothing) and the other comes from the 7". youre prolly hearing the interstate 8 version. i don't know...i haven't listened to the actual 7" in a very long time, but if you look at the cd insert, it implies that they used the version of whenever you breathe out from the broke 7". hez __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

no no n, the new cd they're talking about is the one released on up records...it's a compilation of mostly stuff that already came out on vinyl. mine hasn't arrived in the mail yet, but i'm sure you don't have to wait till april for it. the totally new cd on the totally new label is the one we have to wait until spring for. love, hezi i just wanted to cry and whine about the fact that some of you out there already have the new mouse cd while the majority of us modest, mouse like people have to wait until april or whenever the release date is. ok. i'm feeling better now. thanks, robert __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: offensive words...
oh god...faggot is probably the worst. i shudder when i hear it. the reason it's so offensive is because its use is an indirect attack on homosexuals. back in the days of witch trials and whatnot, they would burn the "witches" at the stake, and the bundles of wood that they used as fuel for the fire were called faggots. but homosexuals were also perscuted heavily during this time period. during the burnings, they would use those accused of homosexuality as additional fuel for the fires. the homosexuals were used as firewood, or faggots. so today, the word faggot has an extreme connotation of hatred and persecution. in other words, it's a pretty painful word hoping she enlightened someone out there, hezi __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: wooder ice, YING-LING, and favorite shows
god bless cheesesteaks, yuengling, water ice (pronounced wooder ice) and soft pretzels. hell yeah!! i'm originally from the philly area but years ago moved to pottsville, home of the aforementioned yuengling. i'm now at school in dc. best showsi have to agree with the modest mouse shows at the pontiac summer '98. (the over 21 show was the best.) and #1 for me will always be money mark/modest mouse/beck at the troc a few years ago. also: 764-hero/built to spill at the black cat last fall, the make up at the black cat, and modest mouse/764 hero at fletcher's...mainly because they did the cool jam thing that eventually turned into whenever you see fit. love, hezi __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: conan/blair witch
modest mouse on conan. the ONE night that i don't watch late night tv. that just figures. i saw blair witch tonight. i thought it was really good and i was pretty freaked out, but then i came home and heather was on the tonight show. i thought with all the hype of it being "real" and stuff that they would at least keep the actors out of the public eye for a while. apparently not. sort of off the subject, i HATE this whole uptight thing that the movie theaters have going on now. i tried to take my 15 yr old sister to blair witch, and they weren't going to let me in. i figured an almost 20 yr old person is adult enough to "accompany" an under 17 person to an R rated movie. but i found out that in movie world, adult equals 21. i did get us in, but only after a bunch of talking/lying/sucking up to the manager of the theater. i thought the whole thing was pretty ridiculous. love, hezi p.s. modest mouse in chicago!! i'll be there the 15-17th...too bad i won't be there for the show. ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

[MMouse]: beer, pizza, mm, etc.
There is no one who carries, or has even heard of, yuengling here in boston. Whenever I even mention the name people look at me like I'm crazy. Most people at my school in DC have no clue. But people who know the area get very excited when you tell them you're from pottsville. They think the word is funny I guess. That and "wawa." They don't believe me when I tell them it is the greatest convenience store in the world. ha. Oh god. I almost ran a kid over on my way into the parking lot yesterday...I went down the shore for the day, and I was on my way into wawa and this kid got in my way and wasnt paying attention. So i honked the horn at him. I scared the poor boy to death. I'm feeling pretty bad about that. dammit. And cheesesteaks...forget about it. Call it silly pride, but ordering a steak and cheese grinder isnt the same as going to Jim's on south street or Pat's and ordering a "whiz wit'". I haven't had a cheesesteak since i used to live closer to philly (years ago) but i do know that I LOVE lorenzo's pizza on south street. mm. though the guy there is definitely the closest thing to any sort of seinfeld-type food nazi that i've ever encountered. but the pizza is worth the pizza nazi experience. ok, this DEFINITELY isnt mouse-related. so um...um, lorenzo's is across the street from the pontiac grille, where i have seen modest mouse play several times. there you go. oh, and isaac once told me (after coming out of lorenzo's) that he went in, asked what kind of pizza they had, and the guy said, "we have cheese, plain, and regular" so isaac was all " i'll have a regular and a cheese" or whatever and then realized and was like what the fuck. ok, you're all really bored with this story now, but i swear it was a funny anecdote when isaac told it. whatever. good night all. love, hezi ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

[MMouse]: Re: jerx..........no way!!!
dear list, i was chit-chatting with some people in irc yesterday, and when modest mouse came up one person said that he liked them until he saw them live, and the other said they gave a show where he was and they were womanizing dicks. does anyone who's seen them live have any perspective on this? -mle hmmm. let's see what i can say about this. i can't say that i've ever seen a member of modest mouse act like a womanizing dick. isaac is a friend of mine, and i've only ever seen him be a good-hearted guy. he can definitely be a smart-ass at times...but that's just the way he is. eric and jeremy are quiet, but also very nice guys. as for live shows, the ones i've seen have been great. sound has been pretty shitty in some cases, but this was really the fault of the venues...not because modest mouse didn't play well or anything like that. love, hezi ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

now everyone has mentioned cheese 80's bands. now these are all good. but my guilty pleasure would have to be britney spear's "baby one more time". you cant beat that song. ok, i'm not familiar w/ anything by britney spears, but there's a rumor going around that she'll be attending my school (george washington in dc) in the fall. i haven't seen any concrete evidence, so i dont know if this is official or not...just thought you might be interested since you're a closet fan. btw: weezer are one of the sweetest bands! dont be ashamed of the amazing-ness that is weezer this is so true!! weezer is most excellent. though i have to confess my own guilty pleasures...i have madonna and cyndi lauper cravings once in a while. don't laugh!! *hezi* ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

[MMouse]: tundra/desert
I was wondering about this -- the two times I've had the opportunity to see 'em play, they ended with tundra/desert. So I wondered if they always did that. Guess not. Thanks for answering a question of mine without me having to ask it. ok, i know i sort of already answered yr question, but i just wanted to add that i've seen them play 10 shows, and they ended with tundra/desert at exactly 9 of them. the other one was, of course, styrofoam boots/it's all nice. hezi ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
