[MMouse]: riverfest in noho!!!
hey is anyone else going to riverfest in northampton mass, on sunday...??? you don't know about riverfest? its going to be all day show at the 3 county fairgrounds from 12-8pm on sunday 9.24.00 who's gonna be there? this is where the excitement comes in . juliana hatfield- she rocks like yr mom ben harper- he's actually pretty cool sonic youth- at home in western mass, they left the cityscene, come sprawl on the lawn w/ the kids and hold yr baggy pants, sleater-kinney that's right, f**kin sleater- f**kin kinney you only wish yr sister was as cool as these women... at least i did, if i had a sister... thats pretty much it, i think theres other stuff, but news on the show has been pretty low-key... i think mainly because modest played providencerockcity on thurs... not selling nothing, mattnice
Re: [MMouse]: how to know who you should vote for
>>i mean, from one of my perspectives..i'm kind of angry that people would rather just vote - amy.<< >>>You're making absolutely no sense. .. Why waste yr fingers ? She is not even old enough to vote !!! I love elitism !!! Non-registered and proud of it, Mattchoochoo Train p.s. I'll register to vote as soon as they get a REAL actor in there, especially someone who has worked with primates...like CLINT EASTWOOD !
[MMouse]: value and savings!!!
hey list boys and girls!!! does anyone here know about www.swapit.com ?? its like this online used record store, where you can get rid of yr crap!!! and the best part is there is no postage on anything you send to them... their prices for buybacks are pretty fair, no worse than most real life stores, and no snotty guy looking down his nose at yr cherished copy of the first new edition cd, signed by bobby brown or biv and devoe... anyway, its kinda cool, but the sucky thing is , there are not too many records available to shop from, with yr credits... i have been hard pressed to find anything really even remotely must-have... this is why i beg of you to at least check it out... you get some kind of credit just for signing up... like 10 bucks or something... if it sucks, you can take turns spanking me like the naughty boy that i am... "baby, yr like visa, cuz yr everywhere i want to be" mattsmooth
[MMouse]: SLAB!!!
hey, chew on this!!! i gots my new 10'' from the Bardo Pond its beautiful and it sounds pretty great too call me #88, cuz thats what mine says... when the freight train known as godspeed you black emperor and sebastian comes to yr town, make sure you find yrself trackside, and early... cuz, the bardo pond waits for no one the boy who likes the arab strap, mattcreamygoodness

[MMouse]: the high price of being correct
so whats up with the beastie / rage tickets? $50.00 for general admission here in connectedicut.. i guess thats the price to pay to be trendy so what gives? is half the money going towards arming the zapatistas or the tibetan freedom fighters? or is it going towards a new basketball court for the beasties home studio? i know, i know dont go, cheapobut here in the land of nothing and nothing, honeydecent shows are few and far betweenso like a sheep i go bhhh!!! oh well, felt like venting a bit mattpo' "the ceilings the same as always, right above my head, in the hallway"
[MMouse]: big sale!!!

[MMouse]: overlooked and underappreciated
hey, did i miss it or did absolutely no one mention the swirlies? how could that be? with all the listing of bands and namedropping fav'rite sounds.surely someone also enjoys the swirlies. me thinks/hopes its the silent majority who chose to go listless and not read off their list of faves like they were reading the latest catalog from parasol... well, anyway, i just got the yes girls...its like the swirlies first record in forever...its not the best, but its pretty great all the same... thanks for being there, mattnyce

Re: [MMouse]: RE: M&A Vinyl??etc
>Other giveaways to the cheapness are how they always use the >same standard labels on the records and also lack of gatefold albums The Black Heart Procession 3 Song recording has a nice picture on the side that has no music. but, it's the only non-standard graphic I have ever seen on an Up LP. My main complaint lately with vinyl is definitely the packaging. Lack of gatefold, and/or lyric/info sheet is definitely crumby. I really do miss the days when records came with posters/lyric sheets/phone books/kitchen sinks/etc Not that there are not some great packagings out there.. Award for best packaging ever has to go to Godspeed You Black Emperor's f#a#(infinity) that thing comes with a PACKAGE.flat candian penny, flyers for shows, cryptic writings, prints of locomotive engines, etc ah pretty pictures to look at !!! and whats the deal with the moon and antarctica being priced at $17.99even the swell indie record shops are selling it for this price. i'll buy it tho, as i've already downloaded all the songs from napster and burned them on cd months ago...just wish there was more incentive to buy the lp other than supporting the band, etc. vinyl packages are like boxes of cereal. they should excite us to rip open the box/sleeve and delve in for the special prizes but even cereal has gone downhill. nowadays you have to collect 50 proofs of purchase and mail them to whomever to redeem whatever is probably out of stock anyway. argh matt

[MMouse]: THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN ! RESPECT IS DUE !
>i'll jump in and just say that while their song 'the city' is one of my >*FAVORITE* songs out there right now, i'm kinda lukewarm about the rest of >their stuff. but, eh, i've only listened to the rest of that cd a couple >of times. maybe it'll grow on me, as was the case with modest mouse. are >any of their other cd's listen-worthy? The albums preceding 'Emergency & I' (which are 'The Dismemberment Plan is terrified' and '!') are mandatory listening for anyone following the modern era of rock n roll. However, during the time period between ...terrified and emergency, something magical happend..travis learned to sing !! it really shows on Emergencycompare standout trax from 'terrified' suchas, ice of boston, doing the standstill...with anything from emergency, and you cannot get the same level of pure sincerity. Emergency & I is one of the most profound albums to come out in the past few years and it will be a major influence on any significant musician to emerge in the near future. it seems the d-plan get lumped into the 'emo' category by default. They play with alot of the bands associated with emo... as already pointed out, but they cannot definitively be classified as emo. I would go so far as to say they are in a genre completely of their own making. Songs like 'The City' with its keyboards swelling into valhalla, and that drum breaking yr back as you swing yr body in motion with the tingling guitar. And to see them live, dancing, moving those hips to every pulse pounding beat. travis beckoning for some brave soul to come up front and breakdance.ah, dear god, is there a better band on the planet ? Bringing influences as far ranged as hip hop to classic r&b to, dare i say, prog rock, the d-plan meld the sincerity and enthusiam of life into their music and it shows. how can one deny the power of the d-plan ?! RESPECT IS DUE mathhue p.s. http://www.dismembermentplan.com

hey , is it true enemymine are playing shows with the mouse? 'cause they not only rock, but they RAWK! its mike from godheadsilo and i think zak from low, and maybe another guy added to make even more noise on a related note: anyone ever see godheadsilo play out? oh man what an experience!!! dan and mike / drum and bass, the way it was meant to bei thought one of them was going to throw up they were rocking so hardonce i heard that at a godheadsilo show, the bass frequencies were low enough that some kid soiled himself involuntarilyits true oh well, thats my 2 centavos.. pants are a good thing, mattbrainy

[MMouse]: hovercraft/godspeed
the most important thing to remember about hovercraft is sadie 7 is known to most humans as mrs. eddie vedderso that makes them cool, because pearl jam likes modest mouse. (removing tongue from its resting place in cheek) the godspeed is s cool...i will admit being a touch late jumping the bandwagon, but its because their canadianand i always thought low could kick all their canuck asses while sitting down but upon actually listening to some of their live sets and tracking down their records, they rock harder than a mule...when they want to. they played at the all tomorrow's parties weekend last month and unveiled a bunch of new stuffsupposedly their next record is due to be the bomb, 2xcd set. www.mp3it.com has a whole load of their shows and i think they also have mp3s at www.godspeedyoublackemperor.com but i am not sure and too lazy to verify that one slow riot for new zero kanada, mattmapleleaf

ok , i just got an e-mail from the obsessive over-analyzers club and they said that what eddie actually wrote on his arm was "damon is a wee bit too critical of others"well i think thats what they said geez, its not like i said he wore green cords instead of brown. all i know is that he did on the mtv on some show, maybe it was headbangers ball, or 120 minutesbut i know he did it... whatever. btw, just saw the looper and flaming lips in hartford.woohoo, those kids know how to rawk.. consider this my soft bulletin, matt suzuki
[MMouse]: don't call me daughter
son, have i got a story for you, as far as indie cred goes, eddie v. has a little, and at least tries to do the right thing...remember when their last big-ass tour came round, they has lots of medium to small types bands play with them, most notably the mudhoney and then while everyone is thinking about that, remember on the eMpTV unplugged show with the pearl jam, towards the end when eddie climbs up on the stool and scrawls FUGAZI on his arm, you know why, cause he's punkrawkthats why i am sure , its more about big business, and epic and all that, but seriously, you think he's gonna say, no, i don't wanna tour with the next biggest band to come outta the northwest besides queensryche my mom thinks i'm special, mattnice "TIII TIMMY TIY"
[MMouse]: lyrics to moon and antarctica
i heard some of the new record, and i too have my own take on what isaac is saying during that one part of dark center of the universe... if you turn the treble up really high and lower the bass and put yr ear up to the speaker , it suddenly becomes clearer. "thong thong tho,tho,tho, thong thong" isaac is a lyrical genius.i mean seriously, he is a poet.. mattnice "TIMY

1) who is you? mattnice/ripe old 28/waterbury ct--soon to be moving to his own house-kill my landlord, oh yeah 2) what be my fav'rite MM jam? tossup between medication and positive/negative 3) top 5 desert island discs: polvo . cor-crane secret spinanes . manos neutral milk hotel . on avery island superchunk . on the mouth low . curtain hits the cast 4) internet and downloads? umyeah.seems like a no-brainerunless you write for a zine or something, not everyone gets promos 5) e-bay --- good or bad? if yr looking for a kidney, or some kid's virginity ,then hell yeah to rip someone off for the blue cadet 7'' for 20 bucks = bad x 10 6) russ winning the hotboys? the fact that this question is even here..speaks volumes to all the on-list jealousybut more importantly , if i was russ, i would have altered everyone else's pictures to boot... 7) japanese tour ep ? do i gots yes , it was one of my first downloads/ cd-r burns...i kissed the ups guy for bringing my computer that week(yeah, russ and blindcrew) 8) first live show? living colour and boogie down productions (circa '88) -stop the violence 9) worst live show? once again toss-off between meatloaf at temple uni's spring fling '90 or heart - scranton pa '90 - both were for a girl? (i suck) 10) best show? prolly the fugazi at the troc 1990. they played w/ scrawl maybe the blues explosion at the roxy with delta '72 -1997 11)favorite sound/ least favorite sound? all sound is beautiful and has purpose, ask a deaf person... noise for noise's sake is what i like to say... 12 ) girls on the internet? better than on tv or in the personals section of the paper, i guess 13) book to be read by everyone? prolly infinite jest by d.f wallace, pretty much all his stuff is watertight and solid ..even his essays and critical stuffhe's smart 14) signing to a major- good or bad in baseball, very good in music, questionable ,at bestit is exploitable, look at royal trux , for one...how else you gonna get good smack, unless the man buys it for you? 15) the t-shirt question depends, indie types are pretty snobby...wrong shirt could equal alienation and double lattes by yr self on the corner 16 ) mm list topics? as long as its not about politics, religion or politics and religion in some combination, then everything's cool 17) beer? yes, please...make mine yuengling black and tan, or a newcastle broon ale 18)indie rock showdown time ? quasi vs. the spinanes and mary lou lord vs. lois thanks for scrolling ..

hi list, all this talk recently about the music being played in the commercials is interestingit brings up the S word --no, not sassy, i mean sell-out...in this forum, the way i see it is, and by the way, i may be paraphrasing a bit from something i think i read in an interview once, so anyhoo i think if hank rollins wants to do a nortel commersh or a photo for the gap...then fineif he believes in the product then super...but more importantly, if he makes X dollars doing something for the man, and then puts that money into his publishing or record label to release something really left of center, how is that wrong? mr. rollins puts out a wide line of books as well as records from many diverse artists and authors, you can't think that he makes that much money from rollins band or the residuals from the chase anyway, if superchunk wants to do a british knights jingle or looper gets used on the x-games promo, look at it as them being able to pay for their art, instead of having to scrape by and suffer... i own a mansion and a yacht, mattmersh "you won't be happy with me so give me one more chance...you won't be happy anywhere..."

thank goodness for the light at the end of the tunnel. the mangum quote is from a seldom replayed episode of the simpsons, when homer was entertaining the idea of moving to athens and getting the band back together thinks chapel hill is the "next big thing", mattnice p.s anyone else own/hear the web in front 7'' when the bathroom song ends cause mr bachmann hit himself in the nose? - Original Message - From: Mark Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Matt Evanosky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 12:52 PM Subject: RE: [MMouse]: stick a pin in yr backbone > The political bitching has ended..tis pointless anyway.. > > > <>~Where's that > mangum quote from? > > Mark > >

all i know is : a) i am really shallow , i wanna read about music, films, books and sex..(not necessarily in that order, and topic may consist of 2 or more from aforementioned list) b) ranting about the government is really tired, especially ex-presidents like mr.bush (do you think he logs on and complains about you on the ex-president reading list) 3: where is that big present we were supposed to order russ for being such a swell guy?

[MMouse]: new idea for film
since every impressionable youth in america has decided they are going to mimic popular film and hold their own fight clubs, i propose that maybe someone will make a movie about nice people you know people who open doors for girls and let you cut in front in line or let you out at an intersection...maybe if brad pitt and ed norton were in a movie called nice club , everyone would want to be like them...maybe the shy rodent could score the film, maybe not realizes that ikea furniture is on the way to grownupville and maturity lane, as he relaxes in his Poang recliner and looks at his arnold coffee table and end table set mattnice
[MMouse]: owl vs dead pig
have i heard the low remix record? oh yeah, it is pretty okfor a throwaway contract filler for a band stuck on a major label.its ok, but honestly, how can you remix low? the beauty of low is the sheer simplicity of the sounds. to remix the low seems to be an exercise in futilitylow is as near perfect at what they do as any band right now...are they better than mogwai? no, i have a hard time with turning music into a competition, they are both good at their "sound". the mogwai remix records are great because of the varied approaches to their songs..i mean come on, hood ,3rd eye foundation, alec empire, arab strap , all remixing yr record, one could do much worse... thanks for the concern... mattnice p.s. anyone remember adventures of pete and pete? pete is on those ameritrade commersh and he's cool..
[MMouse]: mogwai=the now sound
anyone here with more than two brain cells, pls step forward ok, thanks... the mogwai is not only the second most vital band in music today, first being the n*sync/backstreet collective, they are the future of music the mogwai is a great deal more than quiet/loud/really quiet/really loud/extremely quiet/too f-ing loud, they actually are traders in sound and noise...this brings up the noise for noise's sake argument, but hey... kicking a dead pig/mogwai fear satan is w/o a doubt the best collection of remixes available today... come on die young, kicks my ass with the force of 10 horses. do you know what i am talking about? can you afford to do any less? emo isn't everything mattnice
[MMouse]: pottymouth
normally , i agree with every pearl of wisdom that falls from the mouth of mr. sweetser, as far as i can tell he's pretty sussed to all that is indie and MM related... i also dont think i know what he is referring to regarding when he says he was called a bad name 7 times...but i do remember him taking a stand when there was some "gay" bashing on the list...thats why i think it is safe to say he would never use the "C" word in a post, when girls and other sensitive types might be reading... too busy objectifying women to notice such things, mattnice

far be it for me to stay out of a conversation that i was not included in... but when it comes to the mighty sonic youth, i take that as fighting words, where i come from the sonic youth laid the blueprint for 3, maybe 4 million different guitar bands since 19 and seventy whatever...i mean where would blonde redhead be w/o the youth..? to the younger listees, do the math, and i dont mean math rock, i mean the sonic youth are like a treasure chest of sounds and songs and "indie guitar swing"think they're major label trash, pick up the silver session cd, released for a dead fan,as tributepick up the 3-cd series on syr records, with jim o'rourke, and others, and then tell me the SY are not as indie as all get out to the sensitive listboy- noise for noise sake is what its all aboutno noise equals everclear.its yr trip,kill yr idols. thanks for the precious time. obsessive fanboy in the SY army #47 mattnice
[MMouse]: re:modest 7"/boston record hunting
here is my scoop for you all ,located in the boston area, since there are more than one newbury comics stores, try another, then if that doesnt workkenmore square has nuggets and planet records within a block of each othersometimes its dumb luck, you just have to dig for them, they might not be listed under MM, but maybe in a pile of misc. 7"i gots my dopegunsandf**king 7" w/ superchunk/godheadsilo/jawbox this way...i also gots the magic hour 7'' hands down , very difficult to find i thought then if that doesnt work , go to in yr ear, on comm ave in the BU projects, if that place no gots, you aint gonna. otherwise, read a book. love,matt --the artist formerly known as matt and sebastian, til that other group came along
[MMouse]: people posing as indie policemen
apparently, to mr wm. a richards, at least, noticing a "indie" song (loose term, at least when stereolab is involved), is grounds for verbal spanking by the indie policemy point in commenting to the indie commersh thread was just to add my own observations, never did i or anyone else mention the demise of the indie world because built to spill or elliot smith gets played in sears, or at the piercing pagoda... no, i did not get on my soapbox and rant about the demise of all things halllowed and true in an albini-esque fashionall i said was i heard stereolab in a volvo commersh if i liked the orb, i would have mentioned them instead...or spiritualized, as they were involved too maybe some of the list ought to spend more time detuning their guitars and rebuilding their moogs ,rather than picking apart meaningless posts by random consumers remember there's no me in indie,only 2 i's , staring back at you.(kinda chilling, isn't it) everything is not nice, but for the most part 3cd/10dollars sets are pretty great... das freshmaker, moneymatt
[MMouse]: i am really not confused
no, seriously , the new volvo commersh for the convertible had the song one small step ,that can be found on the aluminum tunes cd... i know that vw used the song parsec in their commersh, i swear i heard it , i am not hallucinating audibly, i swear...you've got to believe me, my indie cred rides on this loveme, worshipme take me to sears, mia doi matt
[MMouse]: indie on the tv
anyone see the commercials for some bank called wingspan or something...on the tv i didnt see the first couple but i heard them in the background, and you know why, cause they were playing the tortoise and the sea and cake...there are others but i only remember those two... volvo had a stereolab song in one of their commersh... what next! mersh matt

wow, that reminds me of the time i went on a search for the history of sprinkles(shots), you know for ice cream and instead got a web site devoted to those who like urinating on each other and themselves so, i know how chuck felt when he ended up here so ,anyway, he's sorta right, the"scene" is entirely what you make of it, be it a webpage, zine, record label, whatever...if all you do is sit around and bitch about whether jejune or promise ring is more emo then yr not getting it...things have changed so much that the provincial locality of the "scene" is becoming outdated and tired...you can be from somewhere like crappy connecticut, like me, and still have an active part in the little known, much hyped santa fe no-fi scene, if you want to...(insert yr favorite scene, in the spot where i typed santa fe).. now,with the sporty new computer, you can make some change from yr bedrooms, just like lou barlow...dont let this be the only outlet for creativity, go out buy stuff, consume stuff, see shows, be a major playa... ok thats it, sorry i am rambling, i am not drunk just a little overexcited about the prospects of a riveting discourse on the "scene"... headfull of hollow, the neverending matt equation p.s. big phat superdope props to russnice for his spanking new web actioneven though i couldnt see all of it cause my viewer was on large type, (i am kinda old, cant see so good)...
[MMouse]: best shows i have seen
here's a few from recent memory: delta 72 and jon spencer at the roxy in boston fugazi and shudder to think at fitchburg arena fugazi and scrawl (oh man, scrawl) at the troc in philly way back in 91 super rock night(my title) nirvana and breeders at springfield c.c and then hightailing it to baystate hotel to see the small factory in noho. oh the small factory. transam at the middle east on like their 1st tour w/ tortoise, they were so into their casios.. every superchunk show , especially when mac and jim take turns drumming on fishing... you know who used to put on a good show, morrissey, no seriously, the kids really get into the morrissey... now i am stretching but, anyone listwise remember the indy 500 show few years back in somewhere,new jersey. it was a two day rock fest with the likes of the swirlies, lilys, versus, spentit was july 4 i think well, thanks for the memories... miniaturematt

did anyone else hear about cowboy dan? he was a major player in the cowboy scene... i think i might try to sell some bodily functions on e-bay, seems like everyone else is trying to sell shite on there.. cowboy dan didn't move to the city, the city moved to him ,or so he says i would understand if someone was selling britney spears' used kleenex or something , but a letter from isaac, come on... you probably could just call him up and ask him to write a letter to you personal-likehe seems pretty accessible... cowboy dan is also known to fire his rifle in the sky , shouting at god... beware of cowboy dan , he is armed and dangeroushe is a drinker, too.. love,mattboy slim

[MMouse]: champion of all latenight
if one was to crown a champion of all latenight , one would have to give props to jon stewart...his old show kicked so much ass, you might as well call him a toilet seat.. now, the daily, is even better than before...although if you can find it that craig kilborn's latelatelate show is kinda funny too. although, neither really champion the indie rock like conan's show does... np:godheadsilo- share the fantasy
[MMouse]: conan hoax revisited
actually, its really not farfetched at all andy richter is quite the newyork scenester...he interviewed pavement a few months back for some online zine...he hangs w/ the upright citizens brigade on the comedy central, and they like the indie rock too. superchunk song was played last week, and one of the cast had a blues explosion shirt on and one had a yo la tengo shirt on... conan gets quite a few of the indier bands on.. aside but still on the subject, anyone ever see chumbawumba on leno show...corporate white oppressor, they all had shirts with crazy slogans like government sucks / socialism now... i dont remember them all, but it was kinda surreal..they played on the view once too, i think...

[MMouse]: random thought #45
so i am sitting here thinking, and a don caballero song comes on the radiowho is the more powerful machine? helmet or don caballero??? before you answer indy rock style and say don cab, think for a bit i am talking early helmet, you know amrep helmet and for this thought the meantime record as well, not the jazzy cocktail helmet that gave us betty. i mean seriously ,who is stronger? don cab is all about motion and strength. they remind me of a precision german auto, with funny song titles to boot. helmet , very powerful in their own right...rhythms as if programmed by a drum machine, chugga-chugga riffs and they are quite photogenic not mouse related, but i think very timely for summertime thinking... np: soaky in the pooper 7''- lambchop matt
