Re: [MMouse]: BTS & Macy Gray
Yeah I saw the bts show. The mc cover was surprisingly good. I'm not a m gray fan. I was disappointed that bts only played 45 minutes. deborah

[MMouse]: BTS & Macy Gray
Hello all, I wanted to share this experience with you. I went to the EMP(Experience Music Project) opening on Sunday in Seattle. I saw the concerts that day. On of my favorite all time bands was there. Built To Spill. Almost every Modest Mouse fan I know loves BTS. Anyway, when we were at the show BTS played a few covers. Neil Young's "Cortez the killer" and Ozzy's "Mr.Crawler" but here's the weirdest one of all. BTS played a cover of Macy Gray's "I try" That song that's on VH1 and MTV like every two minutes. Doug(BTS front man) said they were playing it for a close friend. Their rendition was wonderful. Everything those guys touch turns to gold in my opinion. It was just funny watching Doug say "I try to walk away but I stumble" HAHAHA I was just like, WTF??? HAHAHA Neil Johnston Contact me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 253-926-1880

[MMouse]: BTS Live/Cortez the Killer
The best part about the new Built to Spill is the 20+ minute Neil Young cover, Cortez the Killer. Very true to the original, but five minutes longer. Listening to it is like an event, or an opera, with different parts, or movements.

i dont have the song you seek. at least i dont think i do. whats it called but im just curious what you might have in the way of MM or bts that i might want. since you guaranteed it. :D? russ
[MMouse]: BTS!
My first real post since returning and it's not even about MM. Whadaya gonna do. Hey, I am desperately trying to get a hold of that new BTS song on the "Here" compilation. Would anyone be willing to burn me a copy? I guarantee I have something you want of either MM or BTS. Let me know. Scott

>dug's always said that he's incredibly lazyand is far from a > >perfectionist. Now I'm no self-proclaimed BTS expert, but it seems to me that if you wait almost a full year after the completion of recording an album to release it, either you had difficulties of some kind (legal problems? lyrics in "You Were Right"?) or you were being very careful. I was a new BTS fan with PFNO, but I think KILAS has some serious merit. I had to run over the same ground again, but I really think that the mint production on the album highlights the songwriting, a craft that is highly underrated. I hear backwards drum loops and multiple guitar layers at times, and those kinds of things are not for the casual musician. I think Doug has a very definite sound he is trying to create when he hits the studio, and he succeeds. And as far as all this hot air about Epic, if you think a contract is going to change the way the boys record albums, then you must have very little faith in their own motives. A band can sign to a major and not sell a million copies, by the way (Mr. Bungle being my favorite example, I imagine). Remember, this is not a hobby to these guys anymore, it's a JOB. And they have to put food on the table. I don't think they're going to be staring down the barrel of a 7-figure deal when they have sold like 20,000 copies of their last album. Call me realistic, but the music industry climate is just not like that right now. So, can we all relax about the Epic thing?

[MMouse]: BTS Vs. MM
I've made it pretty clear that i think the last offering from built to spill was extremely weak..though i dont want to pin that faultering on the major label influence..since its pretty obvious to anyone that PFNO was one amazing album, and that was distributed under the WB major label. Its impossible to say what the influence would be..and if there is one i think you wont see it in the first album, its all about the contract. If MM wants to make another album, and Epic is going to give them a ton of fucking money to do it..thats awesome..more power to issac and i think he definately deserves to live the rest of his life in total comfort for all the great things his albums have done for my psyche. BUT, if Epic puts them under contract, say to produce a certian amount within a certain time, weve got problems. If MM sits around, writes a bunch of songs, and says "here epic, make us millionaires" thats one thing; but if epic starts pushing MM, youll end up with the polished crap we got from dug in his latest offering. Whatever you think about the quality of KILAS, it just doesnt sound to me like they really cared about it..dug's always said that he's incredibly lazy and is far from a perfectionist. Would Issac put everything hes got into an album he knows is going to make him rich regardless of the quality? I dont know him personally, and my opinons are totally based on conjecture and scant memories of disjumbled articles, but im not sure he would. Not that that is at all a bad thing, hes produced in a decade what some people spend a lifetime trying to hold a candle to. I guess i just want to keep my idols idols..i want to believe that they're above money, above the vices ive been trapped into. Maybe im asking to much of him. mark http://members.tripod.com/~tesla31/index.html Christmas Twin Falls, Idaho is her oldest memory, she was only two, its the first time she felt blue. Cafeteria Harrison, Elementary, Beneath a parachute, i saw her without shoes. 7up i touched her thumb, and she knew it was me. Although she couldn't see, unless of course she peeked. My mom's good she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho, before i got too old, you know how that goes. Thats where she still was the summer, she turned 17, 1983, three weeks after me. Last i heard was she had twins or, maybe it was three, although ive never seen, except for in my dreams.

The problem here is that hardly any political factions are capable of agreeing on what those basic rights are. "basic rights" is a politically evasive and ill-defined term. I'd discuss this further off-list. I can't believe that guy couldn't remember what album 'talking shit' was from. sheesh. toke somemore, dude. those aussies will never make it off that island at this rate. i know there were some people who are from oregon area on this list.. did any of you go to the WOW hall (eugene) BTS show last week? I skipped it cuz I saw them last month at the crystal ballroom - a show that kicked ass. but, i have to say that I wasn't a big fan of that delusions guitarist. comparisons? i saw BTS at WOW hall maybe last year too.. really small show. i liked the smaller, cleaner sound in that show (although WOW hall isn't really the best concert hall ever). maybe i'm getting old. -selena

Whoever was talking about "that stupid line about how we're all just bricks in the wall" I think Martsch agrees with you. If you listen to the song, it sounds like he's heaping some irony on some old cliches: dust in the wind, bricks in the wall, you can't always get what you want, hard rain's agonna fall, etc. Doug is way too smart to be rehashing metaphors for five year olds without making some sly fun of them. I think its a sad, regretful song which rocks out in all the right places. I didn't see them on Conan, but I did see them at Slims and I had zero complaints. Honestly I don't really understand all this bitching about Keep it like a secret. I have all the albums, bought in the right order, and I have to say, I just think they keep improving. The love album has some incredible songs but isn't as solid all the way through as Perfect or Secret. This is just one more person offering his opinion, but I'm just knocked off my feet a little everytime I put any one of their albums on and I don't really give a shit if they don't want to write songs longer than 6 minutes. Who said songs have to be that long? I'll take my BTS short and sweet if that's the way they want it. (the indie world could really do with more 3.5 minute pop songs, if you ask me: keep us away from the neo-hippy Phish-esque jam on and on bullshit).
[MMouse]: BTS.
Hey, I must go out on a limb and say that Keep it Like a Secret was the first Built to Spill album I heard from them. Since I've listened to it I've gotten the privilage to hear other works by them and I must admit that they all make a better impression on me as well as stay longer in my cd player. Ironically, I'm glad that Keep It Like A Secret was the first album I heard from them since I can still appreciate it after listening to all their other stuff. It might lean way towards one side or the other in comparison to their other albums, but I still think it holds steady ground on its own. Enjoy music, thats all todd
