[MMouse]: a reading recommendation from Harper's magazine
during my lunch break at my corporate drone job, inbetween bites of my vegetarian frozen dinner, i read Notes From Underground Among the Radicals of the Pacific Northwest by David Samuels in the may 2000 issue of Harper's magazine. the article covers the anarchists and environmentalists taking shelter in eugene oregon from our consumer driven, empty, lonely lives. much of what was touched upon reminded me of some of the songs by modest mouse such as custom concern. anyone interested in such topics might also enjoy the article. i found myself wanting to visit my grandma in oregon and find out first hand what these people are trying to achieve. finished it off my listening to bright eyes' a line allows progress, a circle does not. robert

[MMouse]: building nothing out of something review in spin
First things first: anyone still have a copy of that horrible Building Something Out of Nothing review? if not, can someone tell me what site it was from? Fucked from birth and trapped in America's suburban/teenage wasteland, Modest Mouse have had a prolific - if brief - career, releasing two albums, two eps, and a handful of singles of melodic rock music in the beautiful loser motif done so well by 80s post-punk titans like The Replacements and Husker Du. Building Nothing Out of Something, is their indie label kiss-off, as they have left Seattle independent, Up, for one of the last few majors left (Sony-Microsoft-General Motors imprint, Epic), and it collects scattered tracks and some of those singles in a digital-friendly jewel box. They've gone from supporting Elliot Smith and touring with 764-Hero, to becoming part of a fading Indie-Rock Mt. Everest, populated by an occasionally changing series of faces (remember Archers of Loaf?), and, as such, their ascendance has largely escaped me. But I digress. Their sound, which hasn't really changed much since their 1995 debut, This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About, is in line with their neighbors and occasional tour-mates, Built to Spill, as well as Fall-meets-Creedence outfit, Pavement. That is to say, skewed but anthemic guitars over a relatively straightforward rhythm section (I could stretch and say they exhibit some Gang of Four white-funk leanings, but I'm not feeling particularly limber). But where Built to Spill and Pavement's guitar rock reaches back to the AOR radio of their youth, Modest Mouse's lineage extends about as far back as the Pixies. The band's particular idiosyncrasies (and most of their charm) can be found in vocalist/guitarist Isaac Brock's backwoods, God-fearing, God-questioning, heavy-drinking lyrical character. Delivered in a pretty good Black Francis howl, Brock spins mostly first person tales of alienated men on the fence between white-trash and self-awareness. They've been drugged by television and travel through malls and parking lots that all look the same. Building... is actually easier to digest than either of their rather lengthy full-lengths, which both have their fair share of self-indulgent throwaway tracks. All of the songs on this compilation follow Modest Mouse's formula down the line, some more successfully than others. "Life of Arctic Sounds" moves a little bit more than most, with handclaps and a catchy refrain. But at this point in the rock and roll space/time continuum any four guys who've heard Slanted and Enchanted and Surfer Rosa could probably come up with a pretty close approximation to what's going on here. I think I want a little bit more from bands than what Modest Mouse seems infinitely satisfied in doing. Going after yourself with a scalpel while playing guitar like it's flying out of your hands worked on Let it Be' and New Day Rising' but Paul Westerberg drank some humor with his pain, and Bob Mould coated his with shards of feedback and rage. (By the way if you don't know who I'm talking about you should find out; without these men Modest Mouse would be playing Whitesnake covers in some bar in rural Washington.) Anyway, Modest Mouse seems to content to simply say, "I'm fucked, here's a solo from Doug Martcsh's trashcan." If you've never heard Modest Mouse and want to stare the dragon in the face, here's as good a place as any to test the waters, because it's shorter and it's just as good/bad as anything else they've done. I suppose it's appropriate that as Modest Mouse is basically a compendium of what the indie-rock sound of the mid-'90s was - the angular, vaguely heroic guitars, the self-deprecating modesty - it is they who wear the crown as they leave the cozy insides of the crumbling kingdom. Congratulations guys, have fun in Wal-Mart. Chris Ryan ([EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])

[MMouse]: the promise ring/red stars theory
hello. i finally found some of the music that i've been searching for. bought the promise ring's 30 degrees everywhere. my initial listen made me think of braid's frame canvas...but when i listened to it this morning before work i heard more of their own style. also bought red stars theory (which has jeremy from modest mouse) life in a bubble can be beautiful. i love it. very atmospheric and soft and melodic. oh, the current issue of spin (with tori amos on the cover) has an article on 'emocore'. lists 10 albums that we must own if we are to be truly 'emo'. ha ha robert

[MMouse]: elephant six recording company
i'd like to know what people think would be the definintive "elephant 6" album. ok, i'm by far not the expert when it comes to this scene...but i have heard a few bands belonging to the elephant 6 (and yea, many band members like to play on each others albums) and i would have to cast my vote for neutral milk hotel. their first album is wonderful (on avery island) but many people think their second (in the aeroplane over the sea) was one of the best to come out in '98. jeff magnum is an incredible lyricisthis songs are more tales than anything else. also like olivia tremor control...but i find myself listening more to neutral milk. the apples in stereo i found too much like the beattles...and i haven't really got into elf power. hope this helps. robert

don't know about songs to avoid...but songs to do the do with should include all night diner and tundra/desert (h shit!) roberto -Original Message- From: Daniel Robertson Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 19, 1999 2:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MMouse]: but then On the occasions when I've had the opportunity to bump ulgies while listening to music, I've always noticed myself conforming to the song somewhat, in tempo and in structure, so if you absolutley must stab whilst listening to Modest Mouse, make sure it isn't "Exit Does not Exist" or "Dog Paddle", 'cause that would make for some janky sex. Or the entire "Fruit" Ep. Can anybody think of any others that should be programmed around? "Shit Luck", for instance, would probably be a good one to skip. -Dan
