[MMouse]: RE: Lolita ya ya
I think it's called Lolita Ya Ya, it's on the soundtrack. I've got it on vinyl cuz I'm wacky like that, but they did a nice reissue with dialogue on CD and they probably have it on Amazon Dot Commie. I love the Kubrick version also, there are a lot of great things.. yes..

[MMouse]: Pharcyde
The thing with Hip-Hops shows seems too be little bang for the buck.. the last few big shows around here like Pharcyde and Kool Keith.. they show up and do like 30 mins of songs and leave and it costs like $20-$25 for the show at a club no less... maybe it's just Austin.. . --Last time I saw Pharcyde was like 4 or 5 years ago at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO, and it cost $15.00, and they played for 30 min., just like you said. I was so pissed. The opening and closing act was this DJ, who was really good, but he played for free every Thurs. night at this other bar in town. I felt completely ripped off and swore I'd never see them again. So, it's not just Austin, unless maybe it's just college towns.

[MMouse]: whatever you said
to that leigh person i accidently deleted your email on icq but uh from what i can remember reading it there, it was about how everyone gives their own opinions and has their rebuttles or something like that. that's all good and stuff except that the thread hadn't been mentioned in a few days, and i'd imagine it was a relief for the whole list. uhm..i wrote a letter apologizing because i felt stupid for it and i hoped that would be the end of it..like "amy did a stupid thing, she admitted it, the end." and then it came up again, and i dunno..i'd just imagine that all of us would want it to come to an end knowing that someone has taken the fault for what happened? oh well, whatever. you can't win with everyone. - amy
[MMouse]: to people still responding to the led zeppelin thread
this is all i have to say about this whole led zepplin thing, espically your remarks in general amy... or maybe just you getting pissed off about other's remarks... this is a mailing list.. it's a segment of the population, a segment that enjoys modest mouse and probably other types of music. you aren't posting emails to yourself or to robots... it's just like society, for an easier example, let's use high school... it is hard to state an opinion (no matter how intelligent or highly idiotic) without someone trying to argue the point. people tend to have opinions and they tend to voice their opinions in various ways (bumper stickers, t shirts, votes, soap boxes)... did you even think that once you brought up a point that it would be looked over like so many piles of dirty laundry? i'm not real sure how many people there are on this list, but i think bruce said that there were around 500 people. so i'm going to make a guess and say that among 500 people something that you say would rub someone the wrong way and, perhaps, make them want to respond to your comment. now i'm not sure about you, but if i make any comment, no matter how (un)controversial, i plan on getting a rebuttal. if i don't want a rebuttal from anyone, i keep it inside. so one wonders why someone makes the comment that led zepplin sucks, and from what i remembered it was pretty unfounded (correct me if i am wrong...) and at the same time, you get tired of people attacking your comments. if i go about standing on a street corner and yelling that black people deserve nothing but a beating from me, i expect to get a reaction. granted, not everyone is going to like led zepplin and it is poor to compare led zepplin to me beating black people, but it's good enough for my point... see my dear, saying on a MUSIC mailing list about a fairly revolutionary band is less than the shit that flows from your ass, is asking for trouble. here's a suggestion: if you don't want shit for your opinions (that people tend to not agree with), then don't voice them if you don't really know jack shit about what you are talking about, don't say anything... or ask questions... rasie your hand, wait to be called on, and then open your mouth... don't stand there with the lighter fluid and the matches in your hand wondering how your neighbors car caught fire... oh, and phil... fabulous usage of the word cunt... made me roll love and shorty's gettin back, leigh

[MMouse]: another old bands post
I could be wrong here and it might have already been said but when listening to music from another time period, one needs to consider the context in which it was made. Modern music, espically within the last decade, has basically been created in the same stable social atmosphere. Sure, MM is kick ass and all, but is there anything they've said or played that hasnt been said or played before? Are they revolutionary? Do they mark something momentous and new in the worlds of art or sound? As much as I like MM, i'd have to answer those questions with a ...well, not really. I think people forget sometimes that when artists like chuck berry, elvis, the beatles, the who, black sabbath, zepplin, the clash, and even early eighties bands like minor threat, black flag, or maybe big black (not to mention a million others) were making music, thought, and performance one, society was a much different, much more constricting and confrontational place. Consider music in regards to when it was made and how those people were pushing their limits, the way people push them now. I mean, when you really consider how close minded society was when chuck berry was rockin out, or how one generation was finally discovering freedom from the old guard with the beatles as they came of age, it seems like such a more beautiful and admirable, almost magical thing. People fighting to just be able to express their confusion and exasperation from life. I know, i know, no one was disrespecting the past or what they did, but i just think maybe you should think about music not in relation to what it sounds like today or five years ago, but in relation to what else was around at the time that it was made.

I thought the new Lolita was a fine movie, not great, but compared to the only stinky Kubrick movie I've ever seen, it was great. At least Claire Quilty made sense in the Lynne version. In the Kubrick one they just kind of abandoned the character and made him into a vehicle for Peter Sellers to act like...himself, as usual (ie., to take little steps when he walked and to never blink). The only good things about the Kubrick version are the way the camera tracks through walls, and the theme. L-la-la-la They're using it in a car commercial now, for some reason. Dan

[MMouse]: RE: General Stuff
This is my weekly Monday post to the list. I read the group at home, but for some reason I can't post to it from there so all this stuff goes by and by the time I get here it's gone. BUT, let's recap: You kids and the stickers have been a lot of fun.. the best part was when Ken said, "I'm looking in your directions.." and also Grace saying, "Unsubscribe, please help me unsubscribe". I really enjoy you guys, even in tough times like the great isaac sticker debaucle. This is one of the better list serves I've been on. I'm on an exotic music mail list that is fun, but so many people and so many posts I can't keep up at all. Loud Venues - I hate loud venues.. Emo's in Austin is our loud venue where you DON'T want to see a quiet band. My friends saw Pedro the Lion and they said they were befuddled the whole time because they couldn't hear themselves playing and singing. People are loud, drunk, and rude there.. sure.. if Murder City Devils are playing that's fine.. but when Isaac played as Ugly Cassanova or when Daniel Johnston played.. people are downright fucking rude to act like they are watching the band when they are really just showing up to be cool and run their jaws about what they are doing after the show to be cool, and where they are going tmr to be cool, and what they will do to be cool next week. LAME. - Movies - I never saw the new lolita. Meant to, it was supposed to follow the book more closely. It did have a soft focus showtime look to it. I love the Kubrick Lolita.. lots of innuendo as it was too dirty to be outright obvious when it was made. They says things like, "It's your cherry pie" and "I love extra mayonaise!". Gross. I think there was a Lolita (movie) reference on the simpsons the other night.. one of my fav new episodes.. the handgun episode (a gun is not a weapon marge! It's a tool.. like a harpoon.. or uh.. an alligator. you just need more education on the subject!)... homer shoots the picture of marge accidently.. it's the same bullet holes as the picture in lolita gets shot with at the beggining Saw Chuck and Buck this weekend.. Anyone? Anyone? Also Lawrence of Arabia in the theater! Wow.. it was great but it ended too soon at 3.5 hours.. it didn't feel like it was ending and it was filmus interuptus at that point... Watched Trust on video... perhaps should be mentioned under dry movies I love.. but it has more humor and music than your average dry movie.. still love it... Hartley's best.. is there any disputing? Leigh, I have 1/2 of that tape done. I had computer problems yesterday. My flux capacitor came lose from my hyperdrive engine. P.S. I'd dress up like a goat for you anytime, because I do it all the time anyways while washing dishes and doing chores. So call me, on a line, call me call me, anytime. Favorite MM line?

"uh, why do you wear that tape on your nose?"

[MMouse]: warped tour bullshit
I hate people. explanation: I worked at the Warped Tour today. I was there with a radio station, and I couldn't believe how many wanna-be punk kids gave us shit for being "corporate." Did these morons not realize that the Warped Tour is now complete bullshit? In Boston it was sponsored by a local mainstream radio station for fuck's sake. Plus, all the shitty bands that played are radio-friendly rip offs of good bands. And some of them just fucking suck (bif naked). If I never see another pre-pubescent punk kid clutching a $25 concert ticket that was probably purchased by his parents (who probably work for a corporation) I'll be thrilled. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind fighting for a cause that you believe in. But these kids constantly contridict themselves.. I'm sure when their parents put dinner in front of them, they don't stop to bitch about where their parents got the money from. on the bright side: nofx was good. they're funny as hell. oh yeah, and green day set their drums on fire. no more complaining, mer. and thanks for the stickers again. some of us do appreciate it. we also like to say please and thank you.
[MMouse]: Re: Digest modestmouse.v001.n1063
Zach - You kick ass. I couldn't have mentioned a better set of movies...however, I am going to try to add four to your list... the spanish prisoner. drama. written by david mamet. starring steve martin in his most unfunny role ever - perhaps his most brilliant work. the acting is great, and the plot and characters are even better! you know how when you watch a bad horror movie you always feel this urge to yell at the characters on screen? like "no, don't go in there, you'll die!" well, you'll want to do that during this movie, but in a really good way! just an incredible movie, and one of the best plots ever. i'm usually not a plot person. i'm definately more for bottle rocket than i am rushmore, but this movie has one of the best plots ever. fecking incredible. homicide. drama/mystery. written by david mamet. notice a theme here? starring william h. macy and joe mantegna. mantenga turns in a gem of a performance in this film about jews and anti-semitism in new york city. mantenga is a jewish cop torn between his heritage and his badge. again, a brilliant plot, but who would expect anything less from david mamet! not me. however brilliant the plot, it takes a back seat to the development of joe mantegna's character. david mamet rules. lulu on the bridge. drama. written/directed by acclaimed american author, paul auster. a quasi theme continues - literary film! starring harvey keitel, mira sorvino(swoon!), willem dafoe, and gina gershon. mira and harvey are the best parts of this movie, esp. mira who is brilliant and as always, beautiful. the movie is more like one of paul auster's novels than it is like his other two movies (smoke and blue in the face) which were mildly disappointing. so if you like paul auster's novels, you'll LOVE this movie. this is often available at blockbuster...but it's hard to find. the music of chance. drama/mystery. based on the novel by paul auster. the novel is probably my second favorite book ever (trailing only saul bellow's henderson the rain king) and the movie doesn't disappoint. starring james spader and mandy patinkin, the movie truly captures the self exploration of the books protagonist. i suggest you watch this movie if you want to be truly moved by the inner struggles of a real person. that's all from me. i'll go crawl back into a corner with my david foster wallace stories and rachel albums wishing for fall to come sooner. end.transmission john.bot v3.201
Re: [MMouse]: i want a fucking sticker. this is my second plea, i mean it.
you know, in [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s defense, he did offer if anyone wanted stickers several weeks ago, and severeal parties requested and got stickers, all because they asked nicely and waited patiently while someone was kind enough to do them a favor. people being rude to someone who is going out of his way to do something for someone is something that shouldn't be tolerated, so don't get mad. you know who you are. dany.
Re: [MMouse]: i want a fucking sticker. this is my second plea, i mean it.
Come on, don't you think you're being a little bit rash?? Nevermind, of course you don'tbut you are. Look at the situation from his point of view..he's using his time, his resources, his money to send out hundreds of stickers. Did he have to? No. He volunteered to do this for us graciously, probably not expecting the large volume of responses he received. But, he did/is doing his best to accommodate everyone. Now, ungrateful, impatient, un-understanding people are complaining that they aren't getting what they want. I don't know you or your story so I won't pass judgement on anyone. But, when you say "I want, I want, I want", not to mention rudely, you aren't apt to get it unless you're a spoiled brat. Just something to take into consideration the next time you think about asking for something.

[MMouse]: Band T-Shirts/posters
Alright, does anybody know of any sites to get good band t-shirts or posters
for any of these bands (i'm just copying it from my profile, but if you know
of others i might like...):
pavement, modest mouse, built to spill, pixies, silver jews, flaming lips,
weezer, elliott smith, dismemberment plan, death cab for cutie, neutral milk
hotel, bright eyes.
I know a lot of them are a stretch, but any information would be helpful.
Because my brother will soon be off to college, much needed wall-space will
be available (Pink Floyd/Doors/Led Zeppelin poster - ROT IN HELL'S
BASEMENT!!). All I have are 4 modest mouse posters (buffalo, lonesome, 2000
tour, this sweet one from the recent concert at the Metro in Chicago {did
anyone else buy it?}) and a small flaming lips one. And one can never have
too many t-shirts. I basically have all of the pavement/modest mouse shirts
that can be found online (at least i think) and the one keep it like a secret
built to spill shirt (will i be forced to buy the girl rock T-shirt that so
very strangely appeals to me?). Thanks.

[MMouse]: RE: Bottle Rocket and Other Delights
Warning, long, bored at work post about movies and what not. I lost my digest, but someone was talking about Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Wes Anderson, Etc. I remember someone saying Bottle Rocket was 'strange'. I don't know if I would call it strange, but it is not your typical plot-driven movie so some people don't really see the point that the meat of the movie is in the underlying themes.. which aren't themselves very deep or hard to catch.. Dignan sums it up at the end when he says something like, "Funny you were in the nut house, now I'm in Jail".. how they were both not normal people or didn't want to conform and how you can end up.. and how that's not so bad.. and how maybe Anthony lost some of his craziness and gained some sanity and Dignan helped him with that by taking the rap for what they did... reminds me of, uhm, Midnight Cowboy, how Dustin Hoffman (Rizzo?) saves John Voight from himself but he himself loses (I won't spoil anything if you haven't seen it). A funny thing Wes Anderson said on IFC about Bottle Rocket... and he is a really funny guy.. was that the script to bottle rocket was not very well written and they really didn't know how to write one.. but when some critics liked the movie they called it 'character driven' instead of 'lacking plot'. I appreciate his self deprecating attitude, however he knows Bottle Rocket came out really great because not many movies walk that territory of being such fun character studies that don't have much of a plot to get in the way of that. Rushmore had both.. well drawn characters and some plot movement.. it's hard to pick my favorite between the two though.. I think in the long run Bottle Rocket would win out.. because it doesn't have so much plot.. if I watched them both 5 times Rushmore would probably get old because the plot is a bigger part and you know the plot so well it wears thinner faster. Which brings me to my last, and final point, about how much I love DRY MOVIES. I've got a little list in my head of my favorites and never have written them down but I should before I forget them. The driest movies you can watch are these: Paris, Texas - the scene where Harry Denton Stanton confronts his estranged wife, Natasha Kinksi will make your heart stop for about 15 mins which is about how long the scene seems to last where they look at eachother though this glass window of a peep-show booth. Fargo - Blood Simple is fairly dry, but Fargo is the driest thing the Coen Brothers have done. It could be drier than it is, but it's perfect the way it is so I can't complain. This is near the bottom of my dry films top ten list. Stroisek / Aguire the Wrath of God - Both by Werner Herzog, both really dry and foreign. One about a guy who come to American looking for a better life.. he buys a big American color TV. and trailer house on credit then gets it all taken away. Aguire is an outstanding movie also, it has Germans who are playing Spaniards. There is a scene that seems to be lifted from one of my favorite books, the original Tarzan story. It ends much like Stroisek.. one of the most incredible endings of any film ever created. If this is EVER on the big screen it must be seen. Panic in Needle Park - one of Al Pacino's first movies and one of his best. VERY, VERY dry movie. I don't think there is even a soundtrack, just cold grey streets and dingy apartments and sad people doing heroin. Lots of great performances in the film from people who I don't know their names. I think the female lead went on to play the nanny in the exorcist. Watch this when you want a dry one. Oh yeah, it's sort of a love story too. Almost. American Job - Chris Smith's first movie before his great documentary American Movie. This is dryer than dry, like me and Elwood Blues like their toast. It can be painful to watch, but it's also hilarious at the same time. I bet EVERYONE can relate to at least one of the jobs this guy has.. food service.. phone work.. a job you have to work late hours... 2001 / Barry Lyndon - Movies you can watch over and over. I've only seen the second half of Barry Lyndon (it's 3 hours), but I've seen it 3 times. I will finally get to see the first half in the theater soon. Eyes Wide Shut was certainly dry, but so.. inextricable? As not to be as much fun to watch, if indeed you do consider watching 2.5 hour dry movies fun like I do. Maybe if I figured it out I would include it. Bad Lands - Great dry movie! While no one could draw a bead on Thin Red Line, everyone should consider Bad Lands a masterpiece. It's a movie that you watch it a few times and you can think in your mind of most any scene and see it perfectly.. because unlike most movies now it's not composed of thousands of cuts.. it's very minimal in that aspect and it's beautiful and it so much does not follow the formula for road movies that was created by the various Bonnie and Clyde films. There is a short but priceless scene where Sissy Spacek and Martin Shee

[MMouse]: bottle rocket vs. rushmore
it's a tough one. i can't decide which i loved more, 'bottle rocket' or 'rushmore.' bottle rocket was one-of-a-kind. to this day, i've never seen anything quite like it. it's so abstrusely funny and bizaar--full of perplexing scenes and dialogue. the tape on the nose, anthony's flourishing romance with inez, the yellow jumpsuit, etc. while 'rushmore' had plenty of these types of things, it somehow seemed more familiar to me; possibly because it had a definite harold and maude/the graduate feel to it. i wasn't immediately reminded of any movie while watching bottle rocket. 'rushmore' is great though. i think that wes anderson is one of our greatest hopes as far as directors go. i only hope he continues to make movies in the same vein as these two--not in your face humor and spoon fed story lines. as for owen and luke wilson, i didn't think they looked too much alike at all. they're not twins. i do know that they have made some crappy movies since bottle rocket--don't see 'dog park' and has anyone seen 'minus man'? i still don't know what i thought of this one. if anyone can recommend movies similar to these two, please do so. otherwise, i'll have to go see 'coyote ugly.'

i know there must be some other satisfact fans out there. i really wish they would get back together. i was so incredibly heartbroken when i found out they broke up considering they were my favorite band when they were still together. why would matt steinke want to break up such a great band? i saw modest mouse recently and seeing jeremiah drum in person makes me wonder what it would be like to see him drumming with satifact in person. it's just very sad. anyone else out there feel the loss that i do and like to see a reunion?

Re:[MMouse]: stickers. celebrity sightings
Well Francesca, how very classy of you. I'm happy to send out stickers to anyone who wants some (even though I said I wasn't going to take any more requests), but don't act like you deserve them, or like I'm being an asshole if I respond to a request in a sarcastic way (especially when asking for a double order of stickers, like you did). Notice that I didn't say "no you can't have any stickers", I was just trying to think of an original response to sticker request No. 87.

[MMouse]: Led Zep defense
Led Zeppelin was inspired by the American R&B much like many of their contemporaries. What the brought to the table was some keen musicianship that had a sound that was bigger,louder and exaggerated compared to the other at the time. Now other bands that grew off of them took that bigger, louder sound, and focused more of the darker elements (gothic images, satanism) that Led Zep and the Rolling Stones didn't actively promote or make part of their showmanship. Groups like Black Sabbath and KISS did this and made the theatrics of such central to their music as well as their image and experience. That being said, I believe Black Sabbath for alot of Brits and Euros, and KISS for many Americans, were the origins of cockrock. The main defining features are the over-the-top theatrics, dark themes, as well as an exaggerated sense of musicianship. Not Led Zeppelin. They were the first band to flagrantly take advantage of all of the freedoms and oppulence that a mega-popular rock band could. They were too busy getting drunk, laid, and/or high to care about what kind of image they put across, and quite possibly because it wasn't part of the blues tradition that they patterned themselves after. That's why the theatrics of KISS and Sabbath were so influential during the 80s because such imagery lended itself well to the nascent music video marketing revolution. "pills bring ennui"
