Okay, was gone for a few days , when I come back, my box is full of everyone listing the same 47 bands over over! Didn't see any mention of Les Savy Fav (who have a new EP out--somewhere!) or !!!. Anyone have Fav's Rome yet? And, speaking of 'yets,' didn't !!! have a full-length release? And, if so, where the hell is it at? Guess that's it...

[MMouse]: what a weird world!
from Spin.com: Woman Dies After Seeing Fake SpearsBritney, that is. Tuesday night, an Endwell, NY, radio station faked an interview with Britney Spears in an attempt to hype up fans. Well, WMRV-FM got excitement all right, when a woman in the 100-person crowd outside of the station offices fell to the ground, and later passed away after reaching the hospital. According the Associated Press, the 37-year-old woman collapsed from cardiac arrest after a female pretending to be Britney exited the station building and proceeded to enter a limousine parked outside. The unnamed woman died Wednesday afternoon. The WMRV-FM station manager reportedly said that the station was trying to figure out what happened and "just trying to focus on the woman."

[MMouse]: What to buy...
Whoever was looking for some albums to buy, I agree with Russ, if you don't own any Mountain Goats, get some... now. "Sweden" or "Nothing for Juice" are definitely choice. Or try Elevator Drops' "Pop Bus" for an experience in creative musical yumminess (what happened to this band?) Speaking of the Mountain Goats, does anyone have info about the tribute album? Who is going to be on it? When is it due? etc. Lastly, I believe there is a list member living in London who was concerned about acquiring the new mouse album in Europe? Yes, no? Email me privately as I will be flying into Heathrow for a layover on June 14th. I will gladly purchase mouse for you if you can arrange to meet me somehow (oh crap, I just checked and the layover is in Manchester, 4 friggin' hours!?!?). Anyway, maybe I can just mail it from Warsaw. Any other European list members can email me about similar arrangements. BYE BYE Christian

Re: [MMouse]: what did you guys SAY to this kid?
I tired a sweeter approach. To me, this is an issue for tapers. If people sell a band's shit, they're goning to start saying NO to tapers. I've had tons of people selling shit on eBAY that I recorded myself. Somebody made $60 off a Built to Spill show that I recorded at the Crystal Ballroom. What can you do?? I emailed Waner Bros., Doug and Karena (their address is on builttospill.net), and eBAY. eBAY told me that they wouldn't do anything about it after a "so called" investigation. They will only remove stuff by the request of the parties holding copyrights!! ALL YOU CAN DO IS EDUCATE THESE PEOPLE. When I send nasty emails, I only get back nasty remarks back. Talk to them intelligently and you'll get a better response. Just tell him that you don't want people selling shit from you're favorite band or your favorite band will stop letting people record their shows. This is the true crime. And they should understand. Offering bidders free stuff will help IF you educate them too. I've talked to a few people about effective ways of keeping people from selling recordings. It seems that the only way will be to cut the demand.

[MMouse]: what a christian might tell ya
The problem is, most Christians don't follow Jesus, they follow his disciples - the New Testament is hearsay from 60 or more years after Jesus' death. Plenty of time for the message to be scrambled and confused like cable channels. Growing up in a fundamental Christian home (Protestant, Church of God to be exact), I was exposed to quite a bit of theology in my youth. For the record, the particular sect of Protestant Christianity that my parents subscribe to believes that the bible was written with divine inspiration by god, such that everything in it is there because god wanted it to be there. Although parts of the new testament consist of historical accounts of the life of Jesus and the early apostles (Paul, for example), the new testament is mostly made up of letters that were sent by early Christians to other churches in an effort to help them get started and stay the course. But you are correct in saying that some of it is scrambled because, as with the old testament, a lot of it is lost in the translation. The old testament was written in Hebrew originally, and the new testament in Greek. And in trying to convert the bible to the first standardized English translation (i.e. the original King James Version), some words used by the Hebrews simply have no parallel correlation in English, and words had to be substituted or redefined. This is where some scholars argue that the bible is inadequate or inaccurate in some ways. So make of that what you will. feeling scholarly, *phiL* __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.

RE: [MMouse]: what a christian might tell ya
Ok..few things to point out.. Although parts of the new testament consist of historical accounts of the life of Jesus and the early apostles (Paul, for example), the new testament is mostly made up of letters that were sent by early Christians to other churches in an effort to help them get started and stay the course. Ill assume that your referring to the gospel..as the historical account in the New Testament. I don't think anyone..except maybe a fundamentalist, would consider this a historical work. Noting both the marked inconsitincies between Matthew Mark Luke and John, most of what has been accepted by Christians comes from John, with parts of Matthew Mark and Luke mixed in. Second..even Paul, the epileptic ephianier of Jesus Christ..was at most only an adolescent at the time of Christ..and most likely not even born. Read Howard Zinn's a people's history of the United States, and you'll see how time, even when events are recorded maticulously, can warp history. But you are correct in saying that some of it is scrambled because, as with the old testament, a lot of it is lost in the translation. The old testament was written in Hebrew originally, and the new testament in Greek. And in trying to convert the bible to the first standardized English translation (i.e. the original King James Version), some words used by the Hebrews simply have no parallel correlation in English, and words had to be substituted or redefined. This is where some scholars argue that the bible is inadequate or inaccurate in some ways. So make of that what you will. Though translation might account for some discrepacny in the bible, its probably not that large. What is significant however is that whole books of the acient Hewbrew bible were simply dropped from the King James version. Also significant is the editing done to the bible by the scribes who transcribed the bible, its not like these people were under some scholarly pursuit to make a verbatim english standard. The bible was a tool in the subjugation of the public, and was commanded as such. Take some time to read the bible(start to finish) and you'll definately get a flavor of the difference voices involved. It's not just different books that show sharp contrast in tone, rythm meter and message, but switches occur in the middle of books with almost no rationale attached(the death of a scribe, perhaps). All right..thats enough..I'm too fascinated by the bible to talk about it anymore.. Mark
Re: [MMouse]: what a christian might tell ya
woah heh the person who said that the new testament is just hearsay from after jesus' death anyway, i totally agree. when i read the bible at sabbath school i was PETRIFIED of everything and anything in it, but why should i be? these were accounts that weren't even really written by Jesus, just other people who were probably talking somewhat up their asses. i have nothing to be scared about about the apocolypse because all that stuff caught my eye in the New Testament and i've learned not to be scared of the New Testament since it wasn't even written until after his death anyway. - amy

[MMouse]: what is indie...the industry definition.
Just to give everyone a clear idea here...I personally stand on the side of it's the music that matters...not the distribution. The Flaming Lips are probably the most innovative band in the world this side of Sonic Youth and neither band is "indie", though we probably all agree they are genius. Either way, there are lots of great bands on major labels and I own lots of them(eels/Dreamworks, Morphine/Dreamworks, Built to Spill/WB, Beck/DGC, Wilco/Reprise, and Radiohead/Capitol). The way I see it, if I like it, i'll listen to it. Anyway, on to the industry definition. I work in radio, and so despite my belief that genre titles should only be used as loose guidelines, i am forced to pigeonhole every cd that makes it into my office. Any label that is distributed by one of the major labels is not indie. The 4 major distros as far as I can tell right now are Polygram, Universal, Capitol and Warner Bros. See, I screwed up already...Polygram is now owned by Universal...Sony is the other. There you go, 4 major distros that have connections and family lines drawn all over the place...it's so confusing. This is why not all Matador releases were indie...ie. Liz Phair - Whitechocolatespaceegg - NOT INDIE. This CD was distro'd by Captiol, NOT Matador. Anyway...I'd have to do a little bit of digging, but I believe despite it's connections to Sub-Pop, Up has remained indie, by not using Sub-Pop's distro. If they have will someone please inform me. As far as I know, Up has no connection to Sire. The label Minty Fresh is indie, despite the fact that it is owned by Geffen because they don't use Universal's distro. Also be on the lookout for a 5th major distro called SKG(Spielberg Katzenberg Geffen) that owns Dreamworks records. Several other purchases and labels are on the way in the next 5 years from SKG, along with some big signings. Okay, if you waded through that, congrats. If you didn't, that's fine. Please realize that the 1st paragraph is my opinion, and the second paragraph is the industry's stand. Okay...ciao.
