while vactioning here in europe i made a separate email address from this modest mouse list and holy shit, this is the first time ive seen it in three weeks. i have like 800 emails here. so im trying to go through them and respond to some important ones... ok, bright eyes. all you chicago area fans should come see them. theyre playing my house in two weeks - june 14th. its going to be a fun one, email me for info and directions. i dont know if theyre playing any other illinois shows on this leg of tour, so this may be your only shot (the tour page at saddle creek doesnt have an il date). i just figured id post this since they seem to be getting talked about (again). and if youre from chi town and want to come for other shows, we got engine down, planes mistaken for stars, aloha, gods reflex, and a bunch more lined up. its only 2 hours south...totally worth it for a rockin house show. bloomington il - there aint much here. one record store called deadpan alley. its on downtown normal (which is connected to bloomington). sorry if thats been talked about already, but like i said - 800 emails. london - i just got here today, anyone know of any good record stores? im over in kensington high (which seems really cool), but am looking to get out and record shop. anything else anyone would suggest here? im going to the newl opened tate modern art museum here in a day. bacons three studies is here so im fucking stoked. hopefully freud, close, schiele, androghtko will be representin as well. what to buy? i would suggest the new dj cam. i just picked it up here...awesome french hip hop that you can get in the states easily enough. but the best record ive picked up this year was the new full length by the holy childhood. i saw em at the empty bottle in early may and they completely blew me away. so fucking amazing. total blues-style indie rock and roll...awesome harmonies, one of the leo brothers wrote all the songs and sings (so you at least know the lyrics are amazing), and they even cover that sorrow song "sometimes i feel like a motherless child." seriously the best thing ive heard all year. its on gern blandsten records. hey, clownsfrightenme (ryan)- you and chispa and enfold broke down at my house last summer. 12 germans on my living room floor. im steve. the tall guy who listened to bonnie prince billy with you in my room. that night was absolutely insane. i just figured out who you were. cutter from prn, right??? awesome. i feel like a detective. i should email you....whats the deal with scott and bloodlink now? the website is down...or it was. i want that sleeping body discgraphy! you should email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] cuz i check that one. whew. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
