Hey all I just saw red stars theory play in San francisco last night. Jeremy is an awesome drummer. He drums a really instense, hard and on time beat and then spins his stick in his hand we it's over - i love it. The Yoshi dude from Senic Vermont/Asiler's Set was there because Aliser's Set and 764-hero also played. Yoshi played with Modest MOuse in San Francisco in May. James bertram is singing with 764 now. Well, jeremy just played an awesome show - that's all.rys __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: mouse tribute tape
about covering our asses legally, i think we should get the mouse's permission. that should be all we need. i can't wait to hear issac's album!does anyone have any motel no tell they can tape for me. also, i think we should make a few master copies and tape from those so quaility is comprimised to much. i'm a big fan of the highest possible lo-fi quality you can get - did that make sense?anyhoo rhyssa __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: mm contributions
okay. so far...i have heard from two people that wanna contribute to the tape...the songs being *bankrupt on selling* and *grey icewater*...and one boy who has kindly offered to convert the tape onto cds with a cd burner. we need more. more. more. if this thing is gonna get anywhere... okay, i'll do "dukes up" acoustic stylze. it won't be 'all that' so if someone else wants to show me up-go for it! rhyssa __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]:
okay, this might seem like a completely stupid/pointless idea to some of you...but i was wondering if anyone would be interested in putting together a modest mouse "tribute" tape of sorts...i know there are a lotta musicians on this list, so i was thinking that people could record themselves doing mm songs, and then send them to me to mix onto a tape. then i could copy and send the tapes to anybody who wants one...i think it would be purty interestin if enough people wanna make the effort... *carrie good idea! rhyssa __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: GAY!
Okay fuckin knock it off. I am bisexual myself and when I first read that person's question, I was like, "Hey, I don't like that use of the word 'gay' there." But then I remembered that I am still working on trying not to use it as adjective myself. I sometimes describe things as 'gay' , mainly because I use a lot of slang and don't pay attention to what I'am saying sometimes, but that's not the point. Do you see what I'm saying? Because our generation grew up and heard the word 'gay' to decribe things that are lame or stupid, we use that word too sometimes WITHOUT THINKING. That's no excuse for using it, but at least it explains it. That person probably didn't mean any harm, they were just using slang. I mean, that dude that said it has been warned, so lets just drop it now. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: Indie Compilation
Hello all of you! This is Rhyssa with Dead Turtle Recordings. I just wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming ASTEROIDS compilation. It will feature: the Microphones, Nar, Bananas, Modest Mouse, M. Hustler, Bugbite, Mail Order Brides, Modest Mouse, Figurine, Lazy Ike, Clockwork Jamal, Beauty Pageant, the Need, Tippy, Sarah Dougher, Blue Gill, Bright Ideas and much much more way cool indie bands. It will be out in Janurary and will be accompained by a zine a page in it for each band, most of which were made by the bands themselves. It will be cheap, like $4 or something. Maybe five with postage but maybe just four. I want to make it affordable because I think these bands are good and I want to help promote them. If you know of folks who like to distribute or you yourself would like some extra copies to sell, we can work out deals. Well, I guess that's it. I'll let you all know when it comes out. Thanks again. Rhyssa DTR __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
