[MMouse]: bush, dicks, and MM
Anyone watch any of the RNC yesterday? Sickening, I know. As we're watching it my roommate tells me he isn't voting to make a fucking statement. Whatthat he, along with the rest of the US's apathetic 18-20something "adults", is going to contribute to the election of g-dubya-b for prez? I was seriously getting scared watching last night, b/c the possibility of him getting elected is all too real. He's so fucking stupid and sad and sorry, but people buy into his whole image. Like, the mariachi and gospel music in the backroundgive me a freaking break! But, that's exactly how he's getting the black and latino votes. If I were black or latino I would be so insulted and appalled that GWB thinks he can get my vote that way; that I'm too stupid to see his track record and underlying evilness. I don't know what's worsethat he uses cheap maneuvers like ethnic music to gain popularity, or that the voting population buys into it. I guess what I'm trying to say is PLEASE VOTE Don't make us suffer through 4-8 yrs of ol' snake eyes just to make a statement about US politics. Ya, it (our political climate) definitely does suck, but which is worse? OK, for my token MM comment. The first MM song I ever heard was Dukes Up -- I came home one day and my brother was playing along with it. The next day I went out and bought my first MM album. The rest is history...my MM addiction grew from there much like you boys' dicks grow reading about Leigh's balls-fetish!! ___ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

OK, there were hundreds of MM messages so I just went and deleted them all, no offense to the non-Amy emails --Was anything else posted from people going to the 764/LAL show in SF? --The guy in the bay area, try Armadillo Records and Avid Reader. Also CD research. --The Amy thingI can't resist the temptation to contribute my 2 cents to this inbox-clogging topic. Amy, I guess you had to learn the hard way. This is a message board for people with diverse opinions and they'll voice them in an instanta debate waiting to happen, I guess. There's nothing wrong with debates, just don't get all huffy when people don't agree with you. Or, better yet, don't think out loud...you won't get away with it if your "thinking" is half-assed. What slips through the cracks is just fuel to the fire. And, if you don't want to be called on anything you feel strongly about don't post it...someone else out there feels just as strongly about the rebuttal to that thought and won't hesitate to tell you (erus) so. ___ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
Re: [MMouse]: Modest procreation
Dave, I love your wise commentaries!!! Well said. OK, what needs to happen is this- Breeders need to stop having kids for obvious reasons. Want a kid? Adopt. Gays and lesbians should not go to sperm banks or find egg donors or whatever and adopt. I realize that many people would want to have their child bio-related to them, but there are lots of kids out there who were born of trailer trash fucks who can't take care of their kids and will grow up to be more trailer trash fucks. (ever see "Gummo?") Yes, adoption can be very difficult, drawn out and raise weird bio-parent issues, but creating another human in this world, today, is really fucking selfish. If you don't think so, try getting out of the NW hemisphere for awhile.

Re: [MMouse]: clinton smokes crack
i find it funny that people can crucify bush for doing coke 30 years ago, but dismiss the fact that clinton received blow jobs from an intern in the oval office a couple of years ago. blowjobs are good, coke is bad. I don't know, but to me what the candidates did/do in their personal life isn't so important. It't the fact that so many of them lie about it and deny it that bothers me. Of course, equally irritating is the amount of time and taxpayer money that goes into investigating their private lives. I'd rather not know.it's sad that this kind of information ends up being the topic for discussion moreso than the real issues. But, I guess this is America, where we are more into gossip than political platforms. One last thing about the comparison between the music industry and politics..any industry will have those parallels -- whenever more than one person wants power things get "political". My jobs in the past and present have all been plagued with politics.you basically have to decide if it's worth it to kiss so-and-so's ass or not. And, since I can't stand being fake and saccharine-sweet I've had to quit many a job. Oh well. ___ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
[MMouse]: Nader
OK, here's the question that will probably make me look really stupid but that's nothing new. 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.

Re: [MMouse]: catching up
Thank you! I couldn't have said it better myself, although I probably should have. About the lyrics..I started to write down some that I really really really love, and as I wrote, more and more equally great ones kept flooding into my head faster than I could write. I can't pick a favorite -- it's like asking a mormon mother to pick her favorite child. We all love the mice. We all know Isaac is a musical genius. Enough said. I'm almost glad I haven't been reading all of the digests lately because some very young and/or very opinionated individuals (who seem to think very highly of themselves given their inherent tendency to redefine and dictate the basic paradigms of the history of music, specifically this one particular genre) have taken it upon themselves to belittle some of the very greatest rock and/or roll musicians of all time. And I guess I would be more inclined to compose some kind of rebuttal if these people hadn't made themselves look so foolish and narrow-minded in the first place that I don't have the heart to dignify their self-righteous drivel with a direct response. But I will take this opportunity to say that in general, I'm very disappointed. I fear the generation that's growing up behind me right now, the things that are influencing them and their contorted world view. But as long as they all continue to remain so stoic and oblivious in this blossoming information age, I never have to fear a timely youth revolt in my life. They'll all be too busy updating their blogs. I worship John Bonham and Jimmy Chamberlain.

Re: [MMouse]: i want a fucking sticker. this is my second plea, i mean it.
Come on, don't you think you're being a little bit rash?? Nevermind, of course you don'tbut you are. Look at the situation from his point of view..he's using his time, his resources, his money to send out hundreds of stickers. Did he have to? No. He volunteered to do this for us graciously, probably not expecting the large volume of responses he received. But, he did/is doing his best to accommodate everyone. Now, ungrateful, impatient, un-understanding people are complaining that they aren't getting what they want. I don't know you or your story so I won't pass judgement on anyone. But, when you say "I want, I want, I want", not to mention rudely, you aren't apt to get it unless you're a spoiled brat. Just something to take into consideration the next time you think about asking for something. No, I'm NOT accusing anyone of anything or forming impressions of anyone I don't know so don't write me on that issue.

Re: [MMouse]: questions
I can't put into words what I want to say, but here it goes. 1.why do you like modest mouse? First, the lyrics are just amazingIsaac's up there with Bob Dylan in my book. 0Enough said there. The lyrics are what got me obsessed with hearing more and more Mouse, but the music is what go me hooked. They're all incredible musicians and can make the simplest, slowest notes sound sooo good.and the way the music goes from slow, and then builds up to this crazy, orgasmic explosion (yes, that's what I said) -- music just doesn't get any better. All their different styles of music on the different albums and all their experimentation with sound just sound so right. I could write a thesis on this but I'll spare ya'll since it probably only makes sense to me. 2.where does everyone live?

Re: [MMouse]: Re: Death Cab for Cutie or Sonic Youth
Are you saying what I think you're saying? Is there actually someone out there who likes sy better? Not that it wouldn't be completely fine with me -- it would be -- I just didn't think it possible. It would be better to actually debate the mouse and Sonic Youth than Death Cab, there isn't really anything sonic about Death Cab in my opinion. but that's me. John *** Think of it this way: Say you can go see both of their shows, but you have to choose which to go to first. Who will give a better encore? That is, if they will even do one. So, you chose the one to go to that you want to see an encore of and leave the other one early. And you pick that one b/c encores are usually awesome. So, since you picked that one because of a good encore, maybe that means that you like them better; so go to that one. That made a lot of sense in my mind, but it looks kind of jumbled here, sorry.

Re: [MMouse]: BTS Macy Gray
Hello all, I wanted to share this experience with you. I went to the EMP(Experience Music Project) opening on Sunday in Seattle. I saw the concerts that day. On of my favorite all time bands was there. Built To Spill. Almost every Modest Mouse fan I know loves BTS. Anyway, when we were at the show BTS played a few covers. Neil Young's "Cortez the killer" and I didn't go, but I have the live album and I was amazed at how much Doug sounds like Neil Young in "cortez the killer".it's like that song was written for them to cover! very very cool album. ___ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp
