[MMouse]: i love you, kyle maclachlan
a.) yeah, yeah, all this talk about more than music fest -- the wilkes-barre fest (http://www.ignostic.com/fest) is only going to be a bazillion times better (band-wise, at least)! just b/c your precious bright eyes won't be tagging along w. the faint doesn't mean that you shouldn't go. let me tell you about a band that will be playing this fest: an albatross and the 1.) bird 2.) sex 3.) cake collective. they murder. i want to say more, i want to gush, but, i can't even come up w. words kind enough to describe these wonderful people and their band. all i can do is tell you to check them out. i believe they will be playing in the cleveland area on saturday. if you can, go go go. b.) jack dean godsey from tennessee, usa, are you still subscribed to this list? er, "jackiebluejackie0"? please mail me, if you are. c.) i have been gone for a week and have not really read through my appallingly large backlog of messages from this list, so, i don't know if this has already been discussed or not and i don't care: why is the cover of the new modest mouse cd so damned ugly? i mean, it is really really awful-looking, in my opinion. i've always really enjoyed their album art, in the past, but, this is so bad that i've flipped the booklet over so the cover is not staring back at me when i look at the cd. bleeehhh. what happened? d.) philip smoker is rock. he opens car doors for ladies. we should all bake pies and send them to him. 1-2-3-4, who's punk, what's the score? --stephanie Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: il n'y a pas les dice
hey: is anyone going to the more than music fest in columbus, ohio this summer? it's gonna be a killer -- orchid, the faint (who are my boyzz), the rapture, song of zarathustra, sphie nun squad? not to mention the fact that, most likely, kansas will be there to enact a repeat of michigan fest, in which they (we) severely whupped florida's ass in the contest of representin'. hey, if you live near the east coast, be sure to go see the black cat #13 if they play in your town. they are radical. oh, and the new modest mouse cd.. i really dig it! it rocks me! um.. at least, that's what i keep trying to tell myself. but really, i'm more into that popular song about thongs than i am into this album. okay, all of the above was really just an attempt to make this e-mail seem like it was about lots of different topics, some modest mouse-related, even. but really, there is only one reason why i bothered to write an e-mail to this list tonight, which is to say this: when you sign up for a mailing list, you must realize that many, many people are allowing you and your words into their inboxes.. this is something you should think about before sending ridiculous, childish post after ridiculous, childish post to a list w. 300+ (? i'm assuming.. ) subscribers. please. (and, as this is not really a long post, NOR is it that annoying, and NOR am i sending more than one, please do not hurl multiple "e-mail me in private!"s at me. i am only one girl. i don't need yo shit. i do what i gots ta do.) thong tha thong thong thong, --stephanie --- MESSAGE modestmouse.v001.n860.2 --- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MMouse]: Re: bloodhound gang Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 09:43:19 EDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit all this is cool. but why are we doing this philosophy?? talk about music and other funny shit like before. peace Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: Re: Mendoza lyrics
i would like to make a shout-out to my favorite mm list kid, phil. woo phil! those lyrics are adorable and i was really surprised to see people attack them like that. silly. lots of sweet lovin', stephanie I'd just like to say FUCK YOU to all the people who are mocking the Mendoza lyrics as I thought they were charming and sweet. Sometimes the simplest lyrics can sound so profound given the right voice and backing instrumentation. I'd love to rip open the CD collections of those who call such lyrics "insipid" to discover the intellectually stimulating treats that are to be found within. Shit, I should start quoting the simpler lyrics of any number of bands that I constantly see worshipped on this mailing list, shall I start with Polyvinyl, Jade Tree, or elsewhere?

[MMouse]: the wind-up bird chronicles
and, while i'm talking, let me just tell you what i like: i really like the kittycraft cd "breaks and beats from the flower patch" -- this is music for the summer. this is music for open windows. you might or might not like this. i only last week discovered the glory that is pinback.. if anyone does not own the pinback cd, run run run to your local record store and say to the boy w. the thick black glasses, striped sweater, tight high water pants, and cons, "i need the pinback cd!" and he will help you. a silver mt. zion? i don't know what this is.. related to godspeedyoublackemperor, maybe? probably members of? i know nothing, but i know that this is beautiful and amazing and just so.. ! orchestral prettiness that seems so perfect thunderstorms? but maybe i just say that b/c that's all i've been seeing lately.. the new camera obscura is really good, but i'd recommend seeing them live on the tour they're currently doing before buying the record.. they are my bloody valentine if my bloody valentine were from the san diego hardcore scene? maybe. oh, and that band bright eyes that no one listened to three months ago? they're perdy good. their new album "fevers and mirrors" is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. it's beautiful, subtle (not really), and it sounds nothing at all like commander venus -- whoever said that heard "the calendar hung itself" once and made a hasty statement. the studioness is a little much, but, whatever. get this. and ORCHID! now that i have opened my cd player to all of you and given some of the best recommendations that i can give, i need your help! i need info. who here knows about the blood brothers? red scare? killsadie? tell me everything you know and i will be forever grateful.. i was sitting in the middle of the street, stephanie Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

[MMouse]: mi fest new mm cd
i admit it: i, too, bought a copy of the evil evil new album at michigan fest. at the time, i thought nothing about what i was doing, just "oh wow, this is so rad! why, amongst all of this punk rock stuff, are these kids selling modest mouse cds? must buy!" -- whatever, it's done, i did it, i like it, i don't regret it. i must say, though, that i have not immediately fallen in love w. it like i have on all of their other records. the sound is different, something i can't put my finger on -- no musical selling out here, though, in my opinion -- just different. to mr. andrew hager: sorry i wasn't able to pick you out of the swarms of kids to say hello -- i had a hard enough time finding the kids i came w.! but, a coincidence: i think that i signed the tree of knowledge mailing list (which i am already on, ope) right under your name. i thought to myself, that name looks familiar, must be some internet kid! anyway, did you enjoy the fest? did anyone else on this list go? were the locust not the most spectacular spectacle ever? did karate not totally suck a bag of dicks? did you buy anything cool (besides the bad bad cd)? did anyone see the kansas kids (sadly, we were pretty much w/o costumes this time) representing and totally kicking the florida kids' asses, in a fairly non-literal sense? i am curious! snorting coke off of my locust compact, stephanie __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[MMouse]: mt. goats atom
one more thing on michigan fest: my new friend atom (of atom and his package) played there and i convinced him to play a mt. goats song, which he kindly did. he played the seed song and ohhh was it ever grand. i remember that someone on this list was talking about the show where he played all mt. goats covers -- he said that he would send me a tape of it (which i would gladly share) if his plans to release an e.p. of those songs (one of these songs is GOING TO GEORGIA which is quite possibly the best mt. goats song of all time) fall through. but they probably won't, so be looking for that.

[MMouse]: 1999: ROCKTCHA!
best live shows in 1999? right. (i would list the venue/date, but i don't remember a single date and for half of these the venue would be something silly like "vince's house".) the faint: sexy nice boys from omaha who sing songs about sex and not much else. their live show is absolute rock and roll. atom his package: people like to make fun of him, but he really does write good songs. when i saw him, kids in the audience wore giant bear heads and danced like idiots. yes! the mountain goats: was that even this year? i don't remember. but this would be up there on a best shows of all time list. over two hours of john darnielle, w. a found photos exhibit preceding. he stretched the quite possibly infamous "the sign" into a 20-minute diatribe on hipsters, kinda. incredible incredible. june of '44: more than i could have hoped for. nothing's changed, they've still got the rock. bauhaus: was that last year? i don't know. but who would have thought that i'd ever get to see them? superchunk: again, nothing's changed, they've still got the rock. bright eyes: this show was in omaha, and wow do those kids respect their local friends. the crowd was utterly silent for the whole set, which was all songs that aren't on any album or 7". conor puts me to shame. trizteza: a mogwai, macha-type band, but their roots are pure punk rawk. a pretty, quiet show, w. one light and shadows on the ceiling. south by southwest: tom waits, the kiss-offs, macha, built to spill, $.50 pizza sold on the street, meeting lots of scary music biz execs, sleeping in a truck for a week b/c every motel within 200 miles was full and SPOON! dub narcotic sound system/miranda july: actually, this show looked like it was a dismal failure for all bands involved, but dancing w. calvin johnson = oh yeah. also: rushmore and american beauty are the two best movies of the year, though i'm still waiting on cradle will rock and the new woody allen. rocktcha! --stephanie __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
