[MMouse]: (an update from UP) Re: MM [tickets] In Ft Worth
What UP Records told me (Britt):
*
Hey Jacob
Here's what I have learned (directly quoting an email I received).
"I should have the tickets in the stores by Monday. There are 3 ticket
locations...Dallas (good records), Mid Cities (CDX), Ft. Worth
(CD Tradeworld) and I will have some here for people in Denton. "
Hope that helps
Take care
Britt
*
I'm being somewhat gracious and sending this on to the MM list... ;)
so, um, if there's no way of ordering these by phone or online ("will call"
type of thing), could I please somehow arrange paying for these by mail--
through some nice person??
also, ask these ticket vendors if I can order them by phone or something...
for I live in Oklahoma, and I know at least 15 or so people who would love
to go to this show.
SOMETHING!...
Thanks if you can help,
Jacob

[MMouse]: Re: Nader (of the same opinion)
Hey, I agree with Rachel here, very much. Basically, no matter what, Gore and Bush WILL ultimately be the 2 choices to be "reasonable" about voting in the next race... not that I care at all about either, but, since I am Anti-Bush (crooked, face-value liaden Republican... look at the man's eyes!... there's gotta be something evil about him), I think I'm going to register to vote to essentially vote Gore because, in carrying my voice of reason, I think Gore will do less damage or, likewise, more reform... even though he strikes me as a patsy, who should have stopped at Vice President (hell, it seems like Tipper did more than him-- but I don't bother with politics too much, so maybe I'm wrong). NOTE!: I in no way agree with the action of voting for the people "bound" for office, but I'm trying to think rationally, as the human that I am, and vote for someone, in this case, I detest the least-- cuz HELL, if others actually thought for once, I might vote differently (i.e. I don't promote such thinking) On a similar note: I was thinkin' today: "What if Hillary Clinton, or some other female, ran for President and won?" ... for the reason that we'll say Bill is still married to the old bag... so my thought is: do you think he'd divorce her after the race... in fear of being known as [the] First Bitch, among his colleagues and the nation? (emphasis on both words btw) ahh well-- I'm off to apply some Icy Hot, in case "the mob" (or should I call it "the posse"?) decides to flame my ass. and then, Rachel, don't fret... "when in Rome, does as the Romans do"-- but you got you're own style so flaunt it if you can, within reason... who can help it if most Romans are thoughtless? Raining on the ashes, .Jacob.

I love Nader to death and would LOVE it if, in my perfect world, he became our next president. But, that's not going to happen. It's basically up to us to choose the lesser of two evils. This is where I'll probably piss a lot of you off, but isn't voting Nader this time (where the race is pretty close) like wasting an anti-Bush vote? If I vote Nader, that's one less vote that helps Gore defeat Bush, and I sure as hell don't want another Bush to be president. I know the electoral college..blah blah blah..but still I feel guilty not voting Nader this time, so ya'll feel free to try and set me straight. My conscience needs to be at peace.help.

[MMouse]: elvis?
Ok, so I'm not gonna continue on with the Led Zeppelin discussion, since I'd rather not take sides and fuel the fire. However, I do think Led Zeppelin has some beautiful work(s). I by no means have pursued listening or buying any of their stuff in the past few years, but they do have an apparent impact... Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips-- I know that fer sure. From what I understand, they helped pick rock n' roll up from a fairly stagnant pop culture in the late 60's. oh well. I, for one, lost a lot of respect for Jimmy Page and the band when Page came in and "endorsed" the likes of Puff Daddy. ick! ;) ... and then David Bowie-- I still love Bowie no matter what, mostly for his earlier (70s) stuff, but Bowie must've sold the rights to someone so Puff Daddy could tear up "Let's Dance". It's as if Puff Daddy was given permission to tear up all the good music. And it's especially terrible when Jessica Simpson, I think that's who did it, took a bad 80s song and remixed the music, or a riff, to fit her voice and big tits. What's the world coming to? a remix of the 60s, 70s, and 80s? (society on the whole) However, Elvis was brought up a minute ago... and I still wonder what he did for music, IN MY OPINION-- he started something, but I have yet to hear something I actually like or take to. I mean, I listen to the Oldies station mostly when I get sick of my mix tapes and he's one of the main artists I just cannot stand to listen to. maybe someone can cite who Elvis has influenced, but... ??? Also, Doug Martsch better than Jimi Hendrix on guitar?... Doug is great, but how can you substantiate that?... how can you qualify such a thing? I understand maybe you're going for a matter of opinion as far as their styles go, but the better of the 2? fuck it, DOOD! --Jacob Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: Re: ween (to get or not to get)
In reply to this letter (at the bottom), I regurgitate a basic economic principle: "The value of a good is subjective." We base our lives on different perceptions of good and bad and how those filter onto and affect our resulting utility. I'm sure most everyone on this list gets "fucked up", or at least wants to... so I see no relation in them "getting" or not getting Ween. I personally haven't heard anything by Ween except what I saw on that movie with David Spade, which I thought was largely stupid (the random Ween segment)... since they could've gotten They Might Be Giants and stole the show who knows? And then personally, I enjoy people who make music for music, an art for an art... and a dollar or 2 on the side to survive toward their own utility... but I'm trying to say I don't care about the bases any band carries-- yet I hold no argument there since what it is that floats your boat, does. just a thought in succeeding to sound stupid, Jacob >--- MESSAGE modestmouse.v001.n1045.4 --- > >From: "Toni Rickman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: ween >Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 16:21:52 CDT >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed > >All I can say is, if you don't "get" Ween, then you must not get fucked up. >That's what there music is all about.

[MMouse]: GYBE!... (reply to me offlist also if you could)
Hi, I've been paying attention to every comment I hear about Godspeed You Black Emperor!... and it seems unanimous that especially everyone who's seen them in concert at least likes them (loves 'em, whatHAVEyou). My inquiry is: where is the cheapest and fastest mailorder outlet that I can get one of their albums?-- I haven't tried in town (Tulsa), but I NEED to mailorder, since I always enjoy the feeling of an album coming in the mail, despite the chance of a prolonged wait. Plus, I don't wanna search in town and find that it's an import and costs twice as much as I would ever need to pay. Also, I would definitely need suggestions (which album best defines... "this a great GYBE album to get started on-- more "accessible"), and, mind you, I have a record player... please help. Also, I've heard a lot of suggestion from the FLips list, but I wanted to hear from another source if anyone digs the Moles? which album to get, if able? Oh, and I like pants too... but I'll keep out of that silly thread. I'd rather discuss lampshades... and how it makes my light shine, Jacob Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n1022
I have to agree with the letter I'm replying to, for the most part. To tell you the truth, I've never heard anything by Death Cab for Cutie-- I'd go out and buy something right now, but I'm kinda starpped for funds as far as my CD collectin' days go. I have too many other CDs, I feel, I would like to get just because of where I'm at right now-- I used to LOVE Sonic Youth so much-- that's why I now have every major album release (except I still have yet to find a copy of "Sonic Death", or whichever early album it is that has "I Dreamed I Dream")... but I rarely listen to them anymore. As I have said before, I found the Flaming Lips, which in my mind have evolved much more than SY... despite the fact that you're gonna hear more about a NYC band rather than an OKC, OK band. [further debate I don't wanna get into] However, I've never seen SY, and I've tried-- trust me. But no one comes to Oklahoma anymore-- Modest Mouse came once to Tulsa for a 40-minute "Indie/ALternative" festival and then OKC before that with Red Stars Theory (when I was not really familiar with the Mouse)... point being: I'd still go see SY, no matter how self-indulgent and extravagant I think they've gotten-- I saw the West 54th St. (?) performance that was on PBS and loved every second... and I think they'd put on a beautiful show regardless... but if I were left to the Flaming Lips vs. Sonic Youth-- I'd see the Lips (cuz I'm in tune with Wayne's head) ... however, if it were the Mouse vs. the other 2, I'd go see Isaac just because I wouldn't know what to expect, since every show I've seen has been especially unique-- and Isaac's got some pedal action goin on upstairs that I just LOVE. ... and those drums! heck fire, Jacob-- the boy who never knew ***++ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MMouse]: Re: Death Cab for Cutie or Sonic Youth gobs of people like sonic youth better if only because they haven't heard death cab yet, even so I'm sure sonic youth would be favored by the majority because they have so many fans.

[MMouse]: sorry for the long, pointless, OFF-TOPIC email (everyone wants to live forever)
In response to this: (NOTE:nevermind, I just end up rambling on about nothing, really) <> I agree with this in many ways, but in many ways I want to disagree with this. These human beans you speak of-- they are... but often I find myself at the point that I need to give them a chance, because they really need to give themselves a chance-- I don't know... for instance, I go to school in Oklahoma at OSU (a state college).. and my first 2 years thus far, I've put up/"tempered" myself with people totally the opposite of myself-- a lot of face-value kinda people. Yuo see, I'm in a fraternity-- one that did haze until about 7 months ago, so I had to go through that shit as well (most of which is gone... for which I also feel like I can write a nice play on fiction and the small reality). For 2 years, I fell sheltered to these people-- a few assholes, just like you know them-- and then some pretty decent people... mostly my drinking buddies (go to parties and laugh and gawk at the dumbass, red red meat mannequins walking about the devil's den-- more face value than you can realize). I feel like I'm always gonna run into people like this-- I didn't join this thing for the fun of it, the merit, etc. I was more or less pushed into upon my passive, yet very hesitant hand, by my stepdad and a brother already at the same college and in this THING. An experience, I guess. I'm like the only introvert in a house so unruly and unorganized. I've just learned to come to terms with people like this. I've come to realize only so many people can be your best friends (travelling to OKC and Norman, OK almsot monthly to see my beloved friends). We're all consumers, to some extent-- and this consumerism is at the root of our inhumanity, I feel. We are currently in somewhat of an economic boom-- society is happy... and thus all of these shit groups (N' Sync, etc.)... and MTV gets ratings based on it-- with their statistics pooling from their TRL. I, too, hate how people consume from the shelf conveniently in front of them. I hate how people will pick up their cell phone- mid-conversation in the car, at a coffee shop, etc. Society sucks-- it really blows ass, and until we have another recession, upon my theory anyway, no one will look to other options-- as what so conveniently and "timed" happened with Nirvana-- people became more "human" it seemed. You know: I just hate how opinions separate each man from one another... I saw "Pleasantville" earlier, again. I love that movie almost despite the plot-- it is the very sociological premise that hits me frantically. Everything isn't perfect-- it's not how each individual wants to be (someone else's perfect)... it can never happen. Anything that man creates, he can just as well easily fuck it up or otherwise corrupt it-- (SEE organized religion, politics, [mass-]production VS hand-made crafts and items). so if you don't see what I'm saying, why not ream someone for not being a human being rather than gawking at them just like they do you? I think everyone should at least like or pay some attention to the Flaming Lips, but that only seems somewhat common in the UK (they're still unheard of to MANY people in Oklahoma-- their home state, since we've really only got a tap on the country biz) grow up-- cuz you're always gonna be flippin' off that guy who swerves into your lane. but to answer your question, Loring: there is a significant relationship between popularity and quality; basic assumption of economics: "The value of a good is subjective"... and you're right, these mindless beand will never discover the extent of their media-induced brainwashing-- and it still confuses me, but I don't get mad over it. cuz : "well, you're livin' your life- that's the price you pay" but I think now... I haven't said anything at all to the point, and now you're all gonna rag on me for being a FRAT boy (when I'm more sensitive and caring and philosophical than any of you will ever even care to give a shit about)... so, honestly, I don't give a rats ass what you indie elitists think-- I wear clothes everyday, for example-- and that's what they are... they may not be representative of the thoughts constantly flowing through my head (keeping my severed head awake at night), but at least I know that the nice 25 year old girl that I work with that has bleach blonde hair (and a 5 year old kid) has suffered more in her lifetime than any of you emo shits can stomach-- and yet she's a surprisingly upbeat person. sorry-- I have to say I very much dislike the Get Up Kids-- I feel like anyone can do that... the music people listen to lets you into their minds-- if it be N' Sync, they are commonly mindless, in my opinion, and I pay little attention to them, since there are too many people in this world for me to meet so why even bother-- I'll grace their presence, just as they will be in the movie of my life... but why condemn them since they are

[MMouse]: in reply to a few things
hiya. (this is long, if you have the while)
ok, i began writing the stuff below on wednesday of last week, but i now get
around to finishing this letter (disclaimer: before you throw stones at me,
i think this album will grow on me, which is a good thing, but i still think
it's overproduced-- and then, otherwise, a huge step away from their
previous style, except that it's the Mouse-- great stuff relatively) :
first, i bought the album yesterday, of course. and i finally listened to it
twice today at work--
and I am of the same opinion as star for the most part. For one, the songs
that were on the Japanese-only EP (minus 'wild packs of family dogs')--
especially 'dark center of the universe' is overproduced (tamer, if you can
catch where I'm going) than what is on the EP... 'dark center of the
universe' was such a dancable piece with more noticable drums on the EP. and
then there are some songs on the EP where I don't understand AT ALL why they
were not brought onto this album ("night on the sun"-- yes, i know it's on
an EP BUT...). Also, the drumming in general doesn't seem representative of
Jeremiah-- his great ability-- where a song like 'Truckers Atlas' is nicely
introduced/driven by his creative beat (i refer to it as an "around the
world" beat).
This album may grow on me-- and I'm not saying that I hate it, but the music
seems somewhat uninspired (and the lyrics fit, I suppose, but not as
intuitive- lack of the one-liners but are still good), MAYBE after the
production. I have a problem with some of the production-- and I miss the
aspect of long, meandering songs on this album, as opposed to Long Drive and
LCW.
On another note, 'paper thin walls' is a favorite thus far-- it reminds me a
lot of a song by the Talking Heads (). I think I read somewhere that MM
were/are inspired by the talking heads. There are some great sounds imbedded
throughout, though. for instance, similar sounds (a track playing
backwards?) to that of "the fruit that ate itself".
-
I like it better now-- just not a favorite. and when I'm critical of this
album as a work of art/music, i am just expressing my opinion-- i.e. don't
badger me cuz i'm not indie enough (just a precaution), or i'm that much
less of a mouse fan for not loving it.
in some instances, i can't identify with it-- for instance, the first song
where isaac's chorus involves "the art of fucking people over"-- i need to
analyze the lyrics a little beyond what i'm catching among an earful of
music, but i've become too karmatic lately to where, ya know, fuck people
over-- because I fear the shit coming back my way somehow, some other time.
maybe that's not what isaac means, but...
also, i never did mention/review the show i saw in denton, TX in
mid-march... ok, so I LOVED the show. my friend johnny made a comment to the
effect of isaac "finally learning how to play guitar-- good". we actually
left before the show ended (sorry, please don't bash me). they played over 2
hours-- all great stuff, and then a lot of unrecognizable stuff. we left due
to the fact that (a) our backs hurt from standing so long, (b) the venue was
packed and really quite small, (c) the venue was packed with an abundance of
ASSHOLES... now people, if you're at a show such as this, please refrain
from shoving your fucking way through innocent people trying to enjoy the
show, just as much as you are, when you know you can't get much further than
the people you just so rudely shoved aside... and if you're horribly drunk,
be polite or just stay the fuck out! i swear i wanted to chop off somebody's
head at that show-- ya know, the next person that stands right in front of
me or shoves me aside is gonna find a spark glistening atop the flaming
head... (d) we never got a good view of the stage, isaac, especially
jeremiah-- we saw eric, i did anyway, most of the show.
but a great show in their presence. people you can really identify with
on-stage but not down below in shitsville-- missed the nice, indie kids i
thought'd be consuming the place.
on a side note, have the mouse ever done any/many covers by bands they were
influenced by? or otherwise? cuz ya know, i'd greatly love to hear isaac
belt out the "Fa, feh-feh fa fa" chorus in the Talking Heads song "psycho
killer"... or the Pixies "where is my mind?"-- something along those
lines... something they'd enjoy covering.
i think i'm done now. sorry i rambled, but i rarely post to this list-- but
the flaming lips list, love it! they got an FTP and all...
if anyone is to reply to this letter, please "Cc:" me a copy, since I will
often delete the digest because they fill up my inbox (somedays like up to 5
a day, rambling on about hockey, or some other THING... sorry, I've never
been to a hockey game-- quite repressed living in Oklahoma. it doesn't
bother me (misc. posts)-- i'll read it if i feel like it, but ... i'm
committed elsewhere-- real life, a prom

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? well, when my parents deeply discourage it, I'd rather now fanatsize it... next IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE? I want a gray circle on the back of my neck... just plug me in. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? yes... this doesn't necessarily mean it's been mutual and then i wouldn't fail to consider being in love with my friends, since they all make pieces of the puzzle (me). but infatuation, so dubbed then 'love', has always led astray... who wants to
[MMouse]: Sonic Youth in Austin- Help... please
Hi, Ok, here runs my story: At first I was planning to go see SY in Santa Fe as a part of a greater road trip... and then they slapped "BENEFIT" on it with a $50 charge on it. I realize this is the almighty [or whatever] for some of you... but they've kind of fizzled in me with the rest of the collection and the advent of some good Northwest bands (MM, BTS... to name a few). Though, the ideals, beliefs are intact. ANYWAY, I tried to get tickets for the show in Austin or at least arrange it through my aunt who lives there. Well, I wait for people to commit, being the nice 'friend' that I am, and I hold off.. longer than I wanted to, but a guy at Waterloo Record Co. says "oh, we have 300 for one night and 500 for the other". They're sold out by Saturday. And... blah blah (I'll spare you the pissing and moaning), but I'm sorry to post to all the lists, but I would like to know if any humble soul could help me out here. --HELP ME OUT HERE-- So..., if anyone has spare tickets, like say 5 at the most (1 at the least) preferably for Wednesday night, I'd be very grateful and pay with a check promptly (or cash). Also, face value, yes/no? I'm willing to bargain a little. If not, I still have the Flaming Lips AND Sebadoh in OKC and a trip to Seattle ahead... I'll live, but the question is: will I ever live to see SY? Yeah yeah, I'm sobbing... more like begging... but it happens. I see [a] more personal truth in the 'meaning' behind built to spill everyday, being that when everything seems to be going your way... "SONIC YOUTH"..."SOULED OUT"..."BOTH NIGHTS" Now, laugh for a minute ...and I hope the lists can forgive me for posting off topic. But one can also see the 'truth' behind the first words one sees when going to the flaming lips site, once having seen one of their shows, especially the current tour... the way Wayne opens up his arms to the crowd while singing with a warm, light, caressing gesture that tickles the chin and urges face to release a smirk up... like he knows something greater that you don't,yet that notion is all[most] a joke since he's [POSSIBLY] just like you or I. Understand?, maybe not. "Smile your last one with the Flaming Lips...", Jacob P.S. I tried to compensate. ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
[MMouse]: rent my opiate #2
Liz wrote: all i have to say is thet the earth is not an empire. all people care about are politcs and land ownership and who's fucking who over when it's humanity fucking itself over. >-vv hmmm... sentence #1 holds water. #2, well, politics is/are like religion: both seem much crooked, and then much like the media and its distant cousin the internet. I suggest that you all read Marilyn Manson's article in Rolling Stone (well, it interested me), and, oh, take a sociology course in college if you're so destined but get recommendations for an insightful, entertaining professor/instructor... otherwise, you be muddled by an old fart much like society looks at the body and not the bunny brain- cute. "You are not your body"(Douglas Coupland). and, liz, i'm not being negative at ya... only thing wrong is you need to explain your modifiers- they're a little cryptic/misleading. also, i just want a small, modest house, small yard... cuz you know overpopulation will be the demise of us all or maybe just the ice caps melting engulfing the world and us all... will braid matter then? (sorry for the semi-waterworld reference) also, look for the new flaming lips import single 'race for the prize' (from 'the soft bulletin') if you enjoyed zaireeka, for it will be 2-disc with a personal favorite of mine 'driving to work (in the year 2025)' and another from zaireeka. wishing i had a friend to hold onto and a liberal arts or private school to afford, oh, and a summer job away from this fucking state of Oklahoma mind, Jacob "all i wanted to do was sing the saddest song, and for you to sing along"-- B&S and to think i'm getting paid to take time out of my day to write this poop... yep and, hi, carrie. hope these people aren't eating you alive ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

[MMouse]: frying on the symptom
hmmm... as far as smoking pot, i greatly enjoy listening to music, much more actually than when sober. favorites being halobenders, stereolab, and, oh, the pixies (but them moreso when i'm drunk). however, it's odd really that such a question should come into my life. I hate returning home to my surburbanite hometown, meeting up with friends who either dropped out of college or didn't make it, for varied reasons nonetheless. they can praise issac's lyrics, but i mainly look back on them in retrospect, more of a lesson than a more-than-life rut. It's sad really to see all those people i love, more when i saw them everyday in high school, resort to constant, excessive pot-smoking, speed, crank, 'shrooms, drinking (which i condone, but responsibly [i.e. rule out the chances of a DUI)... and all the like. i can't relate, having chosen life (yes, to take cliche to heart)... they're all such wonderful people... but FUCK IT! not to be selfish, just to figure what i want out of life than to intoxicate it all away, --Jacob p.s. i wrote this awhile back, but it never seemed to get through. i'm sorry to continue the thread. also, it's nice to go home (my sarcasm)to see one of my friends (from high school) get a DUI, and another to have his parents discover pics of him and friends snorting all sorts of shit and drop acid... especially when they went to the police. and then being drug around by my merry pot-smoking friends through the shittiest parts of tulsa, ok to get high and eventually end up at denny's on the other side of town bahhh and this never seems to make it to the correct address... maybe now __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
