Shirt B:The "new old" shirt. this is the shirt we did for Long Drive. it's referred to as the "starburst" by our tshirt printer. some of you may have this, some may not. we also continue to have the buffalo shirt, despite claims to the otherwise by ebay salesmen.. we also have available the new modest mouse tour poster (which is on updirect.com now, ready for order.) soon, we'll have stickers... re: no credit card we're working out a way to order via check/money order through the site, but until then you can just use the site to add up your order, and write out the product names (everything on the site is in stock), and send a check to Up, Box 21328, Seattle WA 98111 include your email address for an shipment confirmation... If you have any questions, write [EMAIL PROTECTED], and they'll help you out. best regards, colin > > Two answers for you: 1. no credit card 2.

RE: [MMouse]: re: dumb drummer stereotype lives
>They're just idiots. Most likely Napster will die..they don't have the >legal expertise to compete with a powerhouse like one of the five >majors..there's no possible way. Napster the company, maybe. Napster the technology, no. see: Gnutella. It's here, the labels just need to accept it. No amount of money can stop open-source. Not now, not ever. Look, if anything, we should feel sorry for Metallica. They're the unwitting pawns in a game being played by the RIAA. Most likely, someone asked them to make a public statement, and told them it would be great for them (both financially, and for publicity). The RIAA wants symbols/idols to represent their fight (looks a lot better to have them in your press release, than lawyers.) This is really nothing new, they've just shifted the target: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-334305.html?tag=st.cn.1./ .. However, the group also provided some quotes for the artists to "borrow" if they didn't want to provide their own. "If [the artist] is not comfortable providing a personal quote, please feel free to have him lend his name to one of the quotes we have provided," the letter says. Some of the quotes are as follows: Don't trash us by pirating sound recordings on the Net. Get real. Get legit. Like all Americans, I have the right to control both the reproduction and distribution of my work. It's called copyright and it's my prerogative. I support the RIAA for supporting me by stopping Internet piracy. Internet piracy is theft, which as far as I can remember is illegal. My work is my music. My music is my work. If you steal my music on the Internet you are taking something that doesn't belong to you. Remember, I sing for my supper. Call it whatever you want but piracy is one thing: wrong. The RIAA is representing the rights of the recording industry and recording artists in protecting our intellectual property. Don't steal any songs. ..

This would be a very bad idea. Consider this an informal warning from someone who knows.
