[MMouse]: crappy CDs for sale
I am looking to sell some CDs that I'm not too fond of: Avail Dixie Cable Guy soundtrack Filter Title of Record Jimmie's Chicken Shack Bring Your Own Stereo Portishead Portishead Posies Frosting on the Beater Singles soundtrack Music For Our Mother Ocean Volume 1 Let me know if you're interested in something. I don't want much for them. I keep very good care of my CDs and the jewel cases, so they're all in good shape. Ummm...how about $6 each, including shipping? Prices are negotiable. ~Ryan
Re: [MMouse]: ann arbor show
I do like small venues because it is easier to get close to the band, but the low ceiling didn't allow the smoke to rise, so it was always hanging around. I'm a non-smoker and cigarette smoke makes my eyes hurt. That is all I meant about the small venue. I guess I wasn't really clear. And about the stage, I couldn't see the band because it was so low. I don't like really high stages, either, but I would like to see the band. I was going to move, but I don't like standing in front of people because I'm 6'2 and most people are shorter than I am. I just wish the stage was higher because I often had to look at the mirror on the side wall to watch Jeremiah play drums. I just wasn't sure if Isaac would sing like he normally does. He has a very distinctive voice, and I like his voice, but I thought it might be worn out from touring and stuff. I wasn't sure if his voice was going to have its high-pitched shrieking sound. That's all I meant by it. They did do some improvisation or whatever, and I liked it. I'm glad his voice sounded good. Yeesh. ~Ryan -Original Message-From: paul groves [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Thursday, May 18, 2000 1:34 AMSubject: [MMouse]: ann arbor showI've never posted to the list before but I feel compelled from reading Ryan's review of the Ann Arbor, Blind Pig show. The Blind Pig sucked as a concert venue. It was very small, the stage was only one or two feet higher than the floor, and it was full of smoke. Plus my ticket said that the show was supposed to start at 9:30 p.m., but it didn't actually start until about 11:00 p.m. And the opening band, Califone, really sucked. They were the most boring band I have ever heard. I don't know about anyone else but in my book the smaller the venue the better. I really have no desire to see a band on a ten foot high stage. Yeah, your right about the time, it could have started a little earlier (i had a 5 hour drive ahead of me after the show) but it was a small price to pay for a great show. But Modest Mouse put on a decent show. They sounded really good. I didn't know if Isaac would be able to consistently sound like he does on the albums, but he pulled it off. Their performance was pretty boring to watch, though. For the most part, they just stood there and played. Isaac moved around a little bit. Again, I disagree. If I wanted to hear the CD, I'd play it on my stereo. The more variation and improvisation on a song the better. They sounded amazing to me they were anything but boring to watch. Isaac wasn't as interactive with the audience as the other times I've seen him but they played a shit load of songs which more than compensated for the lack of jokes. Jesus Christ, can Jeremiah bang the shit out of a drum kit Eric is one helluva bass player. Overall a great show. Well that's my two cents worth. blah blah blah
Re: [MMouse]: show at the blind pig
I too was at the Modest Mouse show at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Monday night. I'm not the fratty guy with the Kentucky Elliott T-shirt, though. I had on a red Adidas hat, a navy blue Hum T-shirt, khaki cargo shorts. The Blind Pig sucked as a concert venue. It was very small, the stage was only one or two feet higher than the floor, and it was full of smoke. Plus my ticket said that the show was supposed to start at 9:30 p.m., but it didn't actually start until about 11:00 p.m. And the opening band, Califone, really sucked.

I didn't know if Isaac would be able to consistently sound like he does on the albums, but he pulled it off. Their performance was pretty boring to watch, though. For the most part, they just stood there and played. Isaac moved around a little bit. When Isaac sang, the way his head moved reminded me of what the Canadians looked like on the South Park movie. I didn't recognize Jeremiah Green or Eric Judy. Jeremiah has longer hair than what I've seen in pictures and Eric has some facial hair. They all walked past me at one point, before the concert began, but I only recognized Isaac. There was also another guitar player, but I don't know who he is. Does anyone know? Isaac said his name, I think, but the acoustics and the sound system weren't very good. ~Ryan -Original Message-From: Rose Furst [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 3:51 PMSubject: [MMouse]: show at the blind pig hey! i was at the blind pig in ann arbor on monday night and i'm wondering if anyone else on the list was there too...i'm specifically looking for a rather fratty (but fun!) guy named dave who was wearing a kentucky elliott t-shirt and wanted to give me his yellow buffallo shirt...note on the show itself: amazing...i think the best show i've been to...i know i'm probably going to get torn down by some indier-than-thou fan who feels the need to critique everybody's opinion on shows for saying that, but the show rocked...i didn't get the set list but they played dramamine, trucker's atlas, trailer trash, i came as a rat, paper thin walls, cities made of ashes, crazy gnome, polar opposites, broke, cowboy dan, doin the cockroach and some other shit that i can't remember becuase i was going crazy, and just when i thought the show was over and there was no chance of an encore they came back out and played custom concern, breakthrough, all night diner, tundra/desert and...yeah. i hope someone who actually wrote down the set list will post it...that's enough outta me, i guess, thanks for listening,surfer rosaGet Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: let's call the whole thing off (part 2)
I didn't want to stay for the Bloodhound Gang, but a friend wanted to. They were dorks. Someone threw a 311 T-shirt on stage, and their bassist pulled down his pants and wiped his butt with it . . . and then flung it back into the crowd. Then they asked someone to volunteer to drink an entire case of Dr. Pepper (24 cans) for $100. They pulled some kid up on stage and he started to drink it. The lead singer told the bass player, who is really muscular, to swing hand over hand on a bar that circled the place. Clutch Cargo's used to be a church and is about the size of a basketball court. He got about three-quarters of the way around and then some guy in the crowd grabbed him and pulled him down . . . so he crowd-surfed back to the stage. During one of the songs, they asked for hot girls to come up on stage. About ten of them did, and about four of them took off their shirts . . . but the club didn't want any nipples to be shown because it was an all-ages show, so a stage hand had to put tape over them. One of the girls stripped down to her G-string and the tape over her nipples and started to make out with one of the other girls. Most of the crowd was there for the Bloodhound Gang, so most people enjoyed it except for me. I'm also kind of confused about all the nakedness. Being a straight male, I was sort of turned on . . . but at the same time, I was disgusted by the womanizing that was involved. Yeah, some of the girls volunteered to get naked, but the guys didn't have to touch them. And the Bloodhound Gang band members and Parry from Nerf Herder encouraged it. So while I was turned on, I was also disgusted. I have mixed feelings. When the concert was done, the kid was still trying to finish the case of Dr. Pepper. One of the rules was that he couldn't vomit or spill any of it. I think he's still there. ~Ryan living in the womb, running out of room
[MMouse]: let's call the whole thing off (part 1)
I went to the Bloodhound Gang/Nerf Herder concert last night at Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac, Michigan. Tickets were only $18.50, and I really like Nerf Herder. I couldn't care less about the Bloodhound Gang. We got there shortly after doors opened and a band called Powderfaith was playing. They were rocking and jumping all over the place, but they reminded me of a band like Staind. Their music sounded like it, and the vocalist always screamed, but he didn't sing like Aaron Lewis does. They were all right, I guess, but I'm not into that type of music a whole lot. The next band was A (which is a horrible name for a band). They were from London. Their bass player was good, and the band was energetic, but I didn't like the music. I couldn't really compare it to anything, but the lead singer sounded like Angus Young and he liked to say the f-word. Then Nerf Herder came on. The first thing Parry said was On the count of three, I want you all to say 'f*** Subway!' It was an entertaining set, but they only played about eight songs. Most of them were from their first album. About the second song, my friend nudged me to look to my left. There was some chubby girl on a guy's shoulders with her tanktop pulled up, flashing everyone. Those were the first breasts I have seen in person, and they were gross. So I looked back at the band. During one of the songs, Parry said and now, it's time to sell our souls to the devil. If you don't want to sell your soul to him, you can leave. Then some weird guy came out with a long goatee and bleached blond hair and grabbed Parry's guitar . . . and proceeded to play part of a Slayer song. I found out later that this was the guitarist for the Bloodhound Gang. A couple minutes later, some girl in a red tanktop was being passed forward toward the stage. She was also flashing everyone while holding a beer in one of her hands. As she was being passed up, lots of guys reached up and grabbed her breasts. That's retarded. Nerf Herder pulled her up on stage and she started dancing with them. At one point, Parry pulled her down on top of him and she straddled him and started riding him. The set ended shortly after that.

I run for fun. Actually, for exercise . . . but it's fun anyway. I don't run over the window, though, which means that I'm out of shape right now. I just started running again last week. Last summer I was running 5 miles a day, but I'm going to have to work up to that now. ~Ryan

[MMouse]: i am my own grandpa
I went to see Bowling Green (Ohio) State University's Men's Chorus last night. They are really good. My best friend is in a barbershop quartet named Segway that is the second-ranked college barbershop quartet in the nation. That may not mean much to you . . . but I think it's pretty groovy. One thing about Men's Choruses, though, is that when the members get drunk, their favorite thing to do is sing barbershop tags. It's really annoying. Luckily my friend doesn't drink, so he doesn't embarrass himself by singing tags. ~Ryan and my sister is my ma

It helps the band get more money and become popular. Some people, although not all, want small bands that they find to stay on independent labels, just so that person can say that they know of a band that nobody else has heard of. That's dumb. You should be happy for the band . . . unless they get screwed over with their contract. But Indier-than-thou attitudes suck.15. Wearing the t-shirt of the band you are going tosee?Ummm . . . I wouldn't do it because it seems to make that person completely dependent on that band, and it seems like it could be a suck-up attempt. But I don't think I'm better than people who do that.

[MMouse]: sick of apologizing
Stuff I bought recently:764-HERO: Salt Sinks Sugar FloatsI like it. It reminds me of Modest Mouse, but the vocals aren't quite as harsh. And it's not as energetic and powerful. But it's still good.Nada Surf: Proximity EffectI like this one, too. It's a little more pop-rock than High/Low was. But it's cool, especially Mother's Day and 80 Windows. Elliott Smith: Either/OrIt's good, just like all his albums. He makes me happy. Sometimes he makes me sleepy, too, but that's okay. He's fun to listen to when I'm sad.They Might Be Giants: Factory ShowroomI like John Henry and Flood more, but this one is still pretty good.Superdrag: Regretfully YoursThey talk about cigarettes a lot. It's good. I like it more than Headtrip In Every Key. Sucked Out is much different from most of their music.Built to Spill: Center of the Universe import singleThere are a couple acoustic songs on here, with just Doug. And there's a song, Now and Then, that makes me happy and sad at the same time. I don't know why. It just does. I love that song.Owsley: OwsleyIt sounds kind of like Fountains of Wayne, but a little more electric. It's fun music, though. Not quite as good as FOW, but it's good for a change of pace.Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese DreamI had never heard this CD before. But everyone says it's their best one. I concur.Red Stars Theory: But Sleep Came SlowlyI like it, but it's kind of tiring. I like to listen to it when I try to go to sleep. It's just kind of mellow and...boring.Treepeople: Actual Re-enactmentI bought it because Doug Martsch used to be in the Treepeople. I knew he left before they made this album, but I thought it would still reflect his style. It does, kind of, but I don't really care for it much. It's okay. Where Is My Mind?: Pixies tribute albumI haven't heard of most of the bands on here, but I like it. I don't have any Pixies albums. I basically bought this because I like Velouria, and I knew Superdrag and Nada Surf were on here. I ended up liking most of the songs, though.Overall, I'm pretty happy with my recent purchases.~Ryanboring, but it's more action than youse guys have given in the last day
