Everyone's just talking shite here. I don't want to hear about Fight Club or any other fucking movie. What is it about your egos that makes you publicize your opinions on a music mailing list? Can't you just e-mail the particular person directly without having to subject everyone on this list to your "look at me, I'm special, this is what I think, and everyone into Modest Mouse is interested in my brilliant wax." One liners, in their length and depth, should only be directed to a person versus the list (i.e. Natalie to Arash). (And, no, peoples's nicknames for their penises should not be mentioned unless it's something like "Barbie".) There is no need to fill the gap of not receiving mail about MM. This isn't a magazine and we don't need filler. Hey, you! Start up that Onelist with only MM stuff 'cause whoever created this list apparently has left it to die.
Re: [MMouse]: sad songs and survey
Sad songs.. Does anyone here listen to the Cranes? They have plenty of sad songs, and all of them are very good. The first song I heard by them was Are You Gone and it was incredible. The sound of the vocals is sadder to me than the actual lyrics (which are sad too.) Only in Dreams by Weezer was already mentioned, but it is one of my favorite sad songs, too. It's a great song to fall asleep to. Bankrupt on Selling (MM) is moderately sad, but it has a bit of anger in there, too. I'm sure there are plenty more, but those are the ones I can think of now. Here is the survey... NAME: Christopher Chandler Duke SEX: male AGE: 16 PLACE: Atlanta, Georgia EYE COLOR: It's really weird because it changes. They can be blue, green, brown, or a mix of all (which is usually the case.) HAIR COLOR: Black/dark brown FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Can't afford a subscription FAVORITE SMELL: People I like. Call me weird but one of the ways I identify people is natural smell. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Knowing you have hurt someone without meaning to. BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: When someone you love loves you back. FAVORITE THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS: Sleep, work on the computer, think about what I would be doing if I was going out to do stuff. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? Where is that snooze button? DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS? Never. ROLLER COASTERS-DEADLY OR EXCITING? Boring. The lines aren't worth the ride, and I have an animosity towards the employees of six flags PEN OR PENCIL? Black fountain pen or mechanical pencil. HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Three FUTURE SON'S NAME: Chandler DAUGHTERS NAME: Chandler "the girl" FAVORITE FOOD: Spaghetti with soy meat tomato sauce DO YOU GET ALONG WELL WITH YOUR PARENT(S): Usually. CROUTONS OR BACON BITS: Neither, but croutons if I had too. I'm a vegetarian anyway (although I think some types of bacon bits don't contain meat.) DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? Yes, when I can get a car. DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS? No, but sometimes I sleep with my dog. WHAT TYPE OF CAR WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? I don't own a car, but the one I drive the most is a camry. Don't know the year. THUNDERSTORMS COOL OR SCARY? Cool. They are the best when it rains so hard you can't see anything. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC: Poe. WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Pisces, but I don't believe in astrology one bit. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE POET? Isaac Brock DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? No, but I love the flowery part. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Yes. WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM: Four swords, a blank corkboard that covers an entire wall, and an old magic eye that would never work for me. IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? There is nothing. It is an illusion of your mind. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE? I have never had any kind of snapple ever. FAVORITE MOVIE(S)? I don't watch many movies, and when I do, I rarely like them. When I was a lot younger, I used to like The Princess Bride, but I haven't seen that movie in about six years. LEFTY OR RIGHTY? I'm a right hand man WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? My pet rat that my sister lost yesterday while I was out of town. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER? None. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? One that I can call my own. FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: I don't like watching sports at all, but I do fence saber and enjoy it very much. WHAT'S IN YOUR CD/TAPE PLAYER RIGHT NOW: Cranes, Modest Mouse, Weezer. WOULD YOU JUMP ON A BOMB FOR A FRIEND? I don't have any friends. If I did, then yes. ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH ANY OF YOUR EX'S? As close to friends as you could call it, but I can never tell if someone is my ex, if I am still involved, or if I was ever involved with them to begin with. That is the way of young love. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A TEENAGER RIGHT NOW? Get a job, do well in school, and don't do heavy drugs. Small mistakes early on in life can seriously fuck people's whole lives up. Alcohol isn't as bad as they say it is, just don't get piss drunk all the time. Chris Duke www.crosswinds.net/~ccduke
Re: [MMouse]: read carefully
there was nothing said about toronto in the article that person passed on... i thought in the article it was stated several times and made clear that this was something going on in the united states and the address here for the attorneys is in vienna, virginia not toronto... i dont know where you came up with the postal code from but i think you should have yr facts straight before you start bashing someone.. matt. Let me explain.. There was more than one internet tax hoax email going around; one for Canada and one for the United States. The information in my email was copied directly from the link I gave, which happened to be based primarily around the Canadian one. The information was slightly off, but it was all very similar. This would have been evident if you hadn't made the same mistake I made, which is to "have yr facts straight before you start bashing someone." I wish to add that I was not intending to bash Jesse or anyone else. I was trying to get people to think before they forward.

Re: [MMouse]: it's over
Methinks this is a rumor.. Or at least one of those things that they really do plan to do but then decide not to. Remember a few months ago when everybody was upset because they though Isaac was breaking up the band to become a farmer? I'm not saying it is impossible for the band to break up, but I am saying rumors are 10 times more common than the actual occourance. Where did you get your info, ryan?

Re: [MMouse]: modern lyrics\guilty pleasures
I think it is meant to be the son of man rather than the son of God. One of the lyrics says "..and his dad was oh so mad/should have killed that little fucker/before he even had." Of the three "dads" that jesus had (God, joseph, mankind) mankind is the only one that killed him and the only one that was ever mad at him. Also, he was the only child of man. It's not really important to specify who exactly was his dad, I guess, but that's what you get; my dad is a new testament professor of theology. Does Weezer count as a guilty pleasure? I love that band, I even wrote a primitve program for them. If anyone wants it, it is at my website at: http://www.crosswinds.net/atlanta/~ccduke it is in the downloads section. I also kind of like the Smiths, but not nearly as much as Weezer. I guess liking the Smiths is better than liking Morrissey. Violent Femmes rock, too but they aren't bad unless you are talking about their new stuff, which sucks.
