Re: [MMouse]: M & A liner notes
speaking of the liners, i meant to say this a while ago those lyrics are super long look at the lyrics for third planet the part that really goes "reminding me of when you used to be three and i was two" is totally wrong. i dunno who wrote those up but im guessing they arent right at all. baby cum angles cant be what he says. consequently, at the boston show, i was going to ask isaac what the hell he said there. but he didnt hear my pleas for question and answer time. alas. russ

Re: [MMouse]: Sunday/Monday Recap from SF

[MMouse]: a shorter account of the modest mouse show in boston
oh yeah. les savy fav rules you. totally energetic and in your face califone is not as bad as i thought, although a sleeper. they meant well although they had a slightly bad attitude to start. modest mouse. not their best performance (nothing beats the time i saw them in november of 98) but still super awesome and energetic. the setlist Neverending Math Equation What People Are Made Of Trailer Trash Broke Perfect Disguise Paper Thin Walls Doin' The Cockroach Dramamine Out Of Gas Life Like Weeds Cowboy Dan Third Planet Other Peoples Lives Breakthrough and awesome show dood. hmm. thats it. tomorrows my birthday. woo. dont forget to yell out for humpkin pumpkin although i think they might get really sick of hearing requests for it. just a simple science experiement. i hafta tell you about the future! -rusty
[MMouse]: a lengthy account of a boston MM show
awww yeah so as usual everytime i see the mouse i write up this really long and exhausting account of everything that happened. therefore if you dont feel like reading this you can refer yourself to the shorter version that will most likely accompany this email. it should be in your email box now unless previously deleted by you or someone you love. right then. so me and darred and paul cruise on down to boston, going the "wicked hick way" as i have dubbed it, due to the fact that we took the route straight from keene NH instead of claremont, where i would normally have only minimal hick roadage before hitting speeds in excess of 85 mph on the interstate. woo. so we get to boston and we are wicked friggin early some, but theres these two kids waiting, so we make small talk and it turns out that one of them is on the list, myabe both. but hi john :D and uh, melissa was it? woop. so we go around back to see if the vans have been loaded and they werent so we walked around for an hour and came back and around back we could hear the mouse doing their sound check. but it was just a regular old jam, nothing spectacular. so we go wait in line and its just us five and people slowly trickle in. After being accosted by boston's finest homeless man in the pizza place we claimed our stake in line. yeah so then im inside and i met dusty (pronounced with an usty) insde and we talked for a few minutes while in line for the tshirts. friggin tshirts for the mouse are 15 bucks! and they didnt even have XL. what a gyp. but i got both of them. one is blue with orange, the straight lines spanning from a center point with modest mouse written below, the other either a black or dark blue (im bad with black/dark blue distinguishization) with this odd "half seesaw triangle" thing on it. and oh yeah. i stole a poster of the new cover art off the bathroom door. so i go up front and blah blah blah. so then les savy fav comes out. and i had seen them at the NYC show back in march of 99 so i knew it was a good time to watch but it got s much better. my friend amy who used to be on this list, who i see almost everytime i go to the flywheel in easthampton, she loves les savy fav and was talking about some other shows that she had seen of them, and how super friggin kickass they were. anyways, the lead singer from les savy fav has this total rip van winkle meets scary irish guy look? i dunno, we saw him walking around before the show with a black sweatshirt that had "timmy" airbrushed on it. amy had informed me that previously, he had some super "county fair-esque" shirt with an indian and a wolf airbrushed on it. i guess its his fashion niche. so hes got this sampler thing and before les savy fav comes out hes all playin with it and stuff and then they come out and he starts playing samples of danzigs "mother" and hes like "were danzig!" and spews out this half satanic speech about how we meet in the underground after dark and the band starts playing mother for a little bit and then they kick into the set. and dood. les savy fav OWNS you. the lead singer is so charismatic, hes like hanging from the pipes on the ceiling, climbing the monitors. that girl melissa who was in front of us in line, he like went up to her, licked her hair, rubeed it on his face and body. later in the show he ran out into the crowd and got us all tangled up in microphone wire, and we thought he was going to throw the microphone at my friend darren. hes doin all this crazy dancing, running around, sampling hot for teacher. haha, at one point they were having bass trouble... he instructed the entire audience to turn around because it was embarrasing. when some people didnt he was like "cmon guys im serious, this isnt funny!" but the highlight of his crazy antics had to be when he straddled his crotch right in my friend paul's face and humped him then he fell over onto us and paul like half groped him until he got back up onstage. it was classic. so yeah. go see les savy fav. rght. so then califone comes out. and the general list consensus seems to be "califone blows monkey wad". and in a way its kinda like "bleh" youre standing there, they are all slow and stuff. the lead singer guy, he comes out and hes like "hey can you turn us up really loud out there so i dont have to listen to these fucking people talking?" thats a great way to win over the audience. but the music was actually quite good i thought. i mean i didnt mind listening to it, even if it was super slow and non-movable. they ended their set with a brian eno cover, a song that elf power covers actually. the one thats called "the needle in the camel's eye" or something. i dont have my cd case with me. and it was a good cover. yeah dogg. then the mouse comes out and hmhmhmhm darren already posted the set list but i will do it again: Neverending Math Equation What People Are Made Of Trailer Trash Broke Perfect Disguise Paper Thin Walls Doin' The Cockroach Dramamine Out Of Gas Life Like Weed
[MMouse]: humpin pumpkin idea
darren from the list and i got an idea tomorrow at the boston show we are going to shout out for humpin pumpkin all you kids at other shows do the same see if we cant socially engineer the mouse to play humpin pumpkin. if anything they will be like "wtf?!" so im wearing a black tshirt that has a pac man board in-play on it. and i think ill just tape a big sign on my back that says "russ" so you two kids at the boston show, look out for me. darren is wearing a 764 hero tshirt, so he claims. that oughta help. talk to me or else. russ

BOYCOTT METALLICA. as far as i'm concerned they deserve no more money from anyone. it appears it has gone to their head. now most of you are prolly going "hey russ, we ALREADY boycott metallica". if so, good job. spread the word. like i said, im not an activist, so im not about to spam the planet with a metallica boycott message. but if theres one thing that pisses me off, its some kind of twisted fucking violation like metallica is pulling right now. i hope you can see the light for what it really is. and dont give this band a drop of your money. spread the word.

i made a tshirt once that had a pic of the mouse, the one thats kind of panoramic, with all three heads. it said modest mouse in courier new (red) at the top and underneath i scrawled with a permanent marker "every winning opinion..." and on the back i wrote "I wish i had one" no one ever said anything to me about it. i think it was the cause of great tshirt confusion on campus. bah. russ - he doesn't even naturally exist so you better start shakin'
Re: [MMouse]: hot pinball action - ms pacman
SHIT KIDS we spent so much time at those two pinball games. if you wanna suck the fun right out of pinball, go to athens goergia every game is a quarter (thats not the bad part) but you get FIVE balls with every game. and this was at multiple locations. no kidding. every fuckin pinball game we played there gave us five balls. after a while youre like "fuck this five ball shit!". seriously. on a different note, i skipped class today to play pinball. i went to the mall where the flintstones pinball game was, and the entire arcade was gone. there was a moment of silence in effigy. then i went to the big mall and played 5 bucks worth of star wars episode 1 pinball. needless to say RUX is the jedi youth master on THAT machine. and doods i was playing pinball for nintendo earlier (the one with the penguins) and i broke 100,000 points. i nearly shat in my pants! the flippers disappear. i got a screen shot of my high score. if you dig the nintendo action, i found the funniest goddamn page on the planet http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/index.html i almost coughed up a lung laughing so hard. to jesse or whoever was putting the smackdown on ms pac man for nintendo. my mspacman rom doesnt work. so uhm. do you have MAME? because im down with MAME action. if you need it, email me. if you wanna know what MAME is, email me. if you wanna have some hot oral sex action and are a female between the ages of 18 and 25, email me. hahaha russ - kiss your mom at the busttop cuz im takin you to school Darren Cloutier wrote: > > Hey Kids, > > All this pinball talk made me remember this classic shot.

Re: [MMouse]: drinky crow
ugh. i cant figure out why anyone would automatically assume that in order to like a band thats got a lead singer who enjoys substance abuse, you yourself have to enjoy substance abuse. did every nirvana fan on the planet advocate heroin? or barbituates and alcohol? i didnt hear about any mass comacide across the country a few months before mr. cobains death. i mean shit. i like magnetic fields but im not a flaming homosexual. i like palace brothers but im not a jesus freak AT ALL. i like bright eyes but im not some kid who sits around crying about lost love. oh wait. yes i am. isaac isnt a role model, hes just a singer/writer with good ideas. i find it kinda preposterous for people to say that theres a point in saying that people dont drink yet they listen to a drunk. be your own person. russ - when this baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious shit

Last Action Hero - has this crane and some other shit that makes it really awesome, the only problem is the scoops in the middle of the board tend to shoot the ball right at the slot between the flippers, and yr shit outta luck flinstones - i like it. i dunno why. this arcade in colonie center mall has flintstones and judge dredd, and youd think i would play judge dredd, but flintstones is so much better. if you wanna check shit out, go to www.ipdb.com i think .the internet pinball database. russ

Re: [MMouse]: PINBALL
ho-hum. here the gat come as for rating pinball (is anyone else a pinball fan around here? if you arent , to paraphrase hamlet "GET THEE TO AN ARCADE". because i used to think pinball sucked and then i played a few games and it rocks your world) the best known pinball game ever ever ever made is GUNS AND ROSES PINBALL. you cant beat this fuckin game. put a quarter in and it goes "YOU IN THE JUNGLE BABY". its got so many GNR references in it. it makes me clean up a mess in my pants everytime. so yeah. GNR gets my all time rockin pinball game. whodunnit gets like a 7.5 out of ten. its way too easy. i mean hell i put my 50 cents in and got 8 free games. what the hell kinda shit is that. i dont really live around too many pinball games so its tough for me to find the good ones. and they more often than not end up sucking. another great pinball game used to be at TT the bears in cambridge mass (behind the middle east). it was this boxing game that had a boxer in the middle who would turn around everytime you got a chance to bout, and you would whack him with the ball a certain nunmber of times in the allotted time frame. if you kicked his ass you went up in the ranks, much like mike tysons punch out (BANZAI! - piston honda). in the corners you could jump rope your ball and use it as a punching bag. very very innovative. pinball games i hate include "black rose" and "medival madness". medival madness is the only pinball game on campus, and its way too easy to lose all three balls immediately. its one of those ones where youve got to accumulate loop shots to get multiballs. and if you dont get the loops or you dont hit the multiball switch, you aint got shit. high speed is a good game too. as is Congo and South park. and i wont even go into the star wars episode one game. it blew my mind when i first played it. shit man. now im jonesing. russ - see my hearts reflection in your eyes
[MMouse]: the galaga conquest - who dunnit
my poor carpal tunnel hand has a hard time keeping up with galaga, although i love it dearly. uhm. yeah, i know a kid who rocks the casbah at galaga. you two should go head to head. and oh hell. you know what else. if anyone wants to see who can defeat one another at the pinball game "Who DUnnit", i have some sick fascination with it. i got two high scores in one night, and rooftop champion. that means whenever youmake it to the slot machine, your initials come up right before the slots spin. i should have been creative and made my initials "CUM" or "GAY" but alas, i put RUX in, unbeknownst of the awesome publicity it would bring me. so hmhmhmhmh. who dunnit? anyone?

You are then ahh. this isnt commercially produced. well. besides the jap ep. and the second someone in a higher power tells me to take that japanese EP down, its goin down. so far no one has really done that. but none of this is commericial. theres no full lengths, bonus tracks, 7"s available on my site (unless a song from a 7" was available on the rare demos, in which case if someone asked me to take it down i would) > assuming intellectual property right yourself by claiming that someone > has no right to do with the mp3s as they please - to use an imprecise > metaphor, it's like yr stealing a few dozen CDs from the record label, > handing them out to people, and then getting all huffy when one of them > sells it at the pawn shop.

Believe it or not, some of us don't have the time or the its not so bad i guess if they wanna pay like. 5 bucks. but we all know ebay bids get high enough that you could pay your child support with every rare boot disc you sell. so when ONE person gets duped into buying a cd for 65 bucks by some slimy bastard who took 38 minutes to burn it from mp3s that were free to all, i dunno. i mean i know you understand the point behind why thats bad. so should i get all righteous and be like down with ebay? or should i say "let the suckers be duped"? at this point i dunno how much i really care. its not a fun thing to try and stop people from doing something you dont like when they have no intent on listening to you. this guy made some analogy like "its like an antique store that finds junk, brushes it up, and sells it for a high price". and thats fine when youre talking about unreproducable media. but when you can make 80 copies of something and sell them one at a time on ebay for 65 bucks each, youre a sleaze. > internet connection to download mp3s, and some of us also don't have any > way to put those mp3s onto a CD.

[MMouse]: [Fwd: slander]
this guy. hes claiming that he wants to sue me for inciting a riot and slander. so ive decided not to fucking care who does what with the bootlegs. but i AM going to password it. this whole mess isnt worth my time so some dumb fuckhead in south dakota can feel like hes got indie-cred. russ HI! How are you... just so you know I've also called out the dogs on you!!! I've contacted my parents lawyer who have told me to keep record of EVERY person who emails me or IM's me or ICQ's me and if it exceeds a certain amount you can be held accountable for inciting a riot, slander, libel, and a few other charges. Not that I really care if I get a few emails or IM's but if this gets out of hand you will be feeling the wrath of online prosecution. Slander because it is not true and you can't prove that it is, so you saying it to get people mad at me is slanderous. There is no way that you can prove that I didnt get them from someone else (which I actually did) LIBEL because it is in print. And inciting a riot becuase you are making in a public forum a formal declaration of people to contact me. Therefore BY LAW you are liable for all of their actions. Have a nice day, and I've changed my main AOL IM name and ICQ # already, email soon to follow so this will be all for naught anyway J __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: another fucking scumbag trying to sell demos on ebay
hey i just sent this message to this guy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if youre still out there and believe the music should be free and unprofitable, please tell him that you think what he's doing sucks. thanks. russ - http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=264980496 i see youre trying to sell a CD of mp3s that I made and distributed through my website at http://indieboots.digitalsushi.com/MM i named the tracks that you have described and i provide these mp3s for FREE because they are rare and demo tracks and theres no way you have the right to be selling them on ebay unless youre going to get paid for the cost of the disc and shipping only. dont make a fucking buck off the mouse, or out of my hard mp3 work just because you have no ethical indie morals. werent you on the list of people that i emailed the LAST time someone tried selling my shit on ebay? get a clue buddy. im serious. please dont sell this disc at high ebay prices. this message has been forwarded to modest mouse. russ
