I have a silly question...is anyone on the list for Bush? I'm sure as hell not, but if anyone is, they sure have low testicular fortitude... If anyone saw the daily show last night, they had a clip of Bush getting aroused after Wyoming announced its delegates...it could have been his pants bunching up, but it's a lot funnier to think of good ole' GWB getting off on those hot Wyomingians

I'm not really going to take a yiggidy side on this...but I have a very close relative who's gay, and I've known it all my life, since I was little...and it really didn't screw me up or anything, I just knew that people were gay before all my friends did...I actually think it was a good thing, because I was too little too care about someone being gay, all I did was love them, and it didn't matter what was put whereso I guess I'm saying that everyone should have a gay relative! -Still wondering if I'll be traded from Philadelphia, Allen Iverson

[MMouse]: Ralph Nader is sexy
Here's my two cents: Even though I'd love to see Ralph Nader make it to the top, he won't, which sucks, but you shouldn't feel like a sell out if you vote Gore to screw Bush. Nominating Supreme Court Justices is too damn important to fall into Bush's hands (being as half the court is pushing/past 60) and I don't think anyone wants to see Mr. Clarence Thomas repeated 9 times over. Plus, regardless of who controls the Congress, a Green President won't be able to get past a two-part Senate or House. Instead of arguing between Gore and Nader, we should just convince conservatives to vote for Buchanan to mess up the Bush vote. We live in the real world. There's something to be said for ideals, but there's also something to be said for the fact that Bush is the bigger fuck up. Nader won't win. And I sure as hell don't want another Reagan-wannabe Bush in office. PS. Reagan is evil
Re: [MMouse]: RE: Led Zeppelin
issac brock writes better lyrics than lou reed. pavement writes better hooks than the beatles. doug martsch is a better guitarist than jimi hendrix good god who wrote this junk? is he/she human? i'm sorry, none of these guys hold a candle to reed/beatles/hendrix i think there needs to be a head hunting
Re: [MMouse]: RE: Led Zeppelin
in the same respect, i think the beatles/rollingstones/whatever are better than the pavement/builttospill/modestmouse but i guess you win. i took the bait. In a message dated 7/18/00 7:45:55 PM Mid-Atlantic Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I wrote that. I think it's funny that people have such a knee-jerk reaction to someone saying "__ is better than the beatles/rolling stones/velvet underground". It's like, as a music fan, you're required to accept as fact "the The Beatles will never be topped". I'm not going to buy into that crap: can anyone fathom that maybe - just maybe - I REALLY do think that Pavement is a better band than the Beatles? Musical taste is so personal; importance, influence... these words mean nothing to mean. I don't care about those qualities. Is Bob Dylan more influential than Stephen Malkmus. Yes. Absolutely. No question. But is he better? No. I don't think he is. That's my opinion, and so in my little sphere of reality, it's fact. Really, I just feel sorry for people who would respond to my original post with a comment like "are you human?". That's fucked up.

[MMouse]: Re: Laughing
Okay, I'm not saying this to be a bitch, but who the hell cares what kind of music other people listen to? I'm not even saying this in an anti-elitist, lynch mob the indie snobs deal, I'm just saying, why does everyone care if someone likes N Sync or whatever? Does that hurt anyone? Pre-fab music is not a new thing. Who gives a shit if they don't play their own instruments or write their own songs? Guess what? Neither did Sinatra...and I'm not saying that he's the greatest musician either, but what's the big deal? I'd rather listen to a Britney Spears song then listen to most of the junk that people these days call indie rock. And I know this is an old arguement, but come on, does N Sync hurt anyone? I can remember being ten and thinking that all the early 90's alterna-rock was the greatest thing in the world...although my tastes may have changed, I'm not going to dump on people for liking what's on the radio.

[MMouse]: Handsome boy modeling school
for once i have a meaningful post I'm sure people have heard of Handsome Boy Modeling School-but to see them is way better than to just hear them...Last night I saw them at the Theater of the Living Arts in philly, and they didnt just put on a show, they put on a circus...Prince Paul and Dan the Automator came out, and they said hi to the crowd, and Dan played a few things, and then Paul had a modeling contest on stage, with three girls and three guys. He alternately praised the girls (except one who he kept making fun of because she was piss drunk) and dissed the guys (in a friendly way), but with good reason, because they all kept hitting on him. The winner (one of the girls) got a box of wheat thins, and the other contestants got grapes and cheese. Then Paul spun, while Dan passed out cookies, and since we were in the front row, we managed to snag a few. Then my brother, he gave Dan a sign that read "Prince Paul and the Automator and El Supero Bombastico Magnifico." Dan was pretty impressed, gave my brother two cookies, and then hung the sign off the speakers for the rest of the show. Then he made sandwiches, and gave them to people, and my brother passed him a button that said "It's ok not to drink," which impressed Dan more, so he put the button on and wore it for the rest of the show. Later on they passed out CDs, and my friend got a norieaga cd. All in all, the music was great, and these two were some of the greatest entertainers i have ever seen.

Re: [MMouse]: RE: Digest modestmouse.v001.n412
if you wanna complain about them signing to epic listen to the above songs try to tell me they're not worthy of all the success in the world! almost all "indie" labels get major label distribution when it comes to getting on the shelves of yr local record store... if you like it...listen. modest mouse is not yours to hide kg BULLFUCKINGSHIT. I listen to indie music because it lets me connect with the artist in a way that is IMPOSSIBLE when every single person knows every single line of every single song they've ever written. I think it rocks when i find someone who listens to modest mouse and get in a great conversation about how much theyve changed my life because of that connection. When its not indie, it loses its gravity, loses the very stuff that makes it worth my time to listen to. There are a billion bands out there, all playing and saying basically the same thing, what makes one different from the other is YOUR perception of them based on factors which are both superfluous to the music and not normally based on any type of reason. Whatever you want to call it, Modest mouse is and always will be a thousand times better when that connection is a personal one. Dont forget why they started going underground in the first place. im really not sure if you meant it to sound this way, but you give the impression that modest mouse is yours, and yours alone. you also seem to imply that if music doesnt fall under your "indie" category, its automatically crap. i'd rethink that, because your statemeny on "indie" doesn't make it sound like you connect with the bands, it just makes you sound pretentious
