> woah...hold on. > You shop at the Gap. You listen to Modest Mouse. If you head Modest Mouse in the Gap, you would feel offended and as if "theres no place [for you] to go anymore" without hearing them? i understand that you think it makes no sense. when i look at it it doesn't make sense either. it's hypocritical of me and i know that, but it's how i feel. selfish enough as that may be. the thing is, i've never seen any kids from my school at the gap, so i guess that's why i feel the way i do. most of the kids at my school like abercrombie and finch i think. i don't like the gap as a corporation. i like the gap as a clothing store. if i heard modest mouse there i'd be mad because the gap corporation would have had something to do with that, not the gap clothing store and that disgusts me. did i say that there'd be no place for me to go anymore without hearing them? if i said that that's not what i meant. what i meant was that if modest mouse became all the rage, there'd be pretty much nothing left for me to like without kids who loathe me and vice versa already liking. i don't wanna have modest mouse associated with a girl who sent me death threats...i think for me it's more of a personal issue than anything else because of stuff that happened to me. i just would really hate to see people around here liking modest mouse. it's not a good thought at all. Why should it be a problem for me if two aspects of my life (and not embarrassing, painful thing; two things I feel alright about) collide? And it shouldn't be about keeping things to ourselves. oh dear god no, i didn't mean that two parts of our life shouldn't collide. i don't think that at all. the thought of the kids around here listening to modest mouse just scares the fuck out of me basically...and the kids in central illinois are a lot alike ;) my mom calls them the "east-central illinois girls" because they all look about the same. i guess i took my personal feelings about where i've been for the past four years and made it into a bigger thing than it was, which was wrong of me so i apologize. i'd just feel really awkward if - even if i do shop at the gap - modest mouse were on a cd that gap employees had to listen to every day for a month straight because that would turn modest mouse into ugh...just something really bad that i can't quite place my finger on. but it would be gross and bad ;) - amy

<< I wouldn't mind if I could turn on the radio again. >> you should listen to all the jamming gold stations now...you know the disco, the diana ross, the marvin gaye, the jackson five...that's where it's at i'm sick to death of all these crappy college stations...all they do is comment on how eclectic they are by saying they have radiohead AND elliot smith and they need to speak up and stop mumbling when i have a station, it'll be barry white, all day, every day
Re: [MMouse]: Abercrombie/modestmousemusic.com
woah...hold on. You shop at the Gap. You listen to Modest Mouse. If you head Modest Mouse in the Gap, you would feel offended and as if "theres no place [for you] to go anymore" without hearing them? That just doesn't make any sense. I shop at the Gap (though usually only when someone else is paying). I listen to Modest Mouse (no matter who is paying). These are two things about me, two components to my personality. Why should it be a problem for me if two aspects of my life (and not embarrassing, painful thing; two things I feel alright about) collide? And it shouldn't be about keeping things to ourselves. I remeber 1992-1994, when I liked almost everything on "alternative" radio. That was a good time. I wouldn't mind if I could turn on the radio again. And PLEASE, do we have to use 'gay' as a derogatory descriptive?

I didn't see anyone disagree w/ me about my sterotype of A&B wearin' people being stupid and annoying. I would feel personally offended to hear MM in those types of corporate stores. I wall shut up about this issuenow. i wouldn't be as distraught about apples in stereo playing in a + f cos they're not that great. i don't know how many people are like "apples in stereo are the BEST BAND EVER!" you're right about gap clothes, they're really expensive, but they last a long time and consistantly look good so i don't care. my khakis are hot but my mom won't let me wear them casually :( i pray that mm won't ever be played in abercrombie or the gap. i, like you, would be offended if i heard them and i'd feel like there's no place for me to go anymore without the same people that forced me out of my own school that my mom pays $250 taxes a year for there also. i don't wanna have to deal with that anymore, that's part of the reason i like indie rock. by the way, i just saw modestmousemusic.com today and the content is gay but the layout is absolutely gorgeous. - amy >>
