Sometimes I have dreams about bands and stuff, and recently I had a
Modest
Mouse dream. Call me gay, but whatever. Heh. Anyway, so it's just this
weird dream, and MM is in it. It was based around a pool and yadda yadda
whatever. The point in writing this, is that they were playing
Shirts would be a great idea, but you should have everyone who wants one
simpy send you the $$ for tshirt and shipping and the size they want, so
you know in advance, and can go order them. that way no money is lost by
you. Ive done it this way before when making tshirts, just ordering the
you retard. he wrote "prochoice" on his arm.
man, i'm sick of everyone bustin pearl jam's nuts. ps, they "sold
out"
why can't you people just be happy when these people make money
anybody's buddy that buy's the whole "sold out" thing, and that's bad,
can
suck my cold lunch.
being
damn im so excited about these shirts...i think you should put the cover
of
blue cadet on the shirt, that would rock. and make shirts in all
sizes...instead of just L/XL. The little girls like me gotta represnt the
mosue too.
wait i missed at. are we making shirts for the list or
like when my friend calls someone a spic
in front of his son, or when my little sister uses the word gay or faggot
to
describe something undesirable. i think we should at least prevent this
kind
of stuff from being instilled in the minds of future generations.
now i realize that your
ok so just how many of you are from bloomington? this is weird, like i had
noo idea all these people are living so close to me. when i saw iwu i
assumed it was 'western' for some reason..but i dunno illinois colleges
that well so i don't even know if western exists or not ;) but yeah, i
5. Ebay, bad or good?
Ok...if you dont get Jewed!
thats really not very funny...even if you were "joking"
oh please, i'm a jew and i hear that term all the time. i probably use it
myself. lighten up a little mang, stereotypes are stereotypes. everyone
uses them, but it seems 'bad'
1. Who are you/where do you reside/how old?
I am Kate Ross, I live in Iowa City, Iowa, I'm 19
i've been in and out of iowa so many times in my life from when i lived up
in minneapolis..my mom and i would drive down here during the spring and
summer to visit family or go to a state park,
yeah, you have a GREAT point there. what was i thinking?!
sorry, even though i am a white male, ethnic/gender/racial slurs still
get
on my nerves. because they have become stereotypes doesnt mean they are
cool to use...at least in my new-to-the-list opinion.
regardless of if they're cool
uh, not really. i can tell you for a fact, iowa's boring. that's why i
got
out and went to school in chicago. ever stayed in iowa longer than a few
days, or a week? didn't think so.
i have actually! ;) let's not jump to conclusions where we're wrong, eh?!
i wasn't bored by it at all,

Either option "b" or niether. I think that we give up that type of
privacy by puttin our pictures on a website at all. This is the internet,
after all, not a secret club.
too true. i'm guessing most of us have webpages or have had web pages in
the past, and most of us have our pictures
you guys.
pitchfork media linked the hot modest mouse girls page to a short
article they ran on the album being pushed back. how crazy. doesnt
someone on this list write for them? wow. i feel half-famous.

to thank
your choices are:
a) i take down the pages altogether
b) i password the pages

someone just told me that the mouse *might* be playing at the highdive in
champaign sometime in may. anyone heard anything about this??
jenny
this is true. if they do play there i'll be the first one inside damnit.
i'm gonna steal my mom's car if i have to and drive with just my

if anyone knows the band looperthey were playing in the background of
some commercial for myfamily.comwhat the heck is up w/ that
yeah looper played here last night and i missed them cos i couldn't get a

screw the waffle discussion. i want to hear
more about these daggers and tight assholes. :O
my butthole looks like the end of an oscar-meyer hot dog. the reason i'm
so nonchalant about these funny and unimportant discussions is cos i know
it'd hurt to have a dagger up my butthole. i think if

ok so i just saw run lola run, i remember a lot of you had mentioned it
during our best movies of 99 chat.
this movie is the BEST movie of 99. better than fight club. better than

scripting, the premise OWNS YOU. its just SO

Is there a Portland, Maine? I always thought it was in Oregon...

I've always wondered about the reasoning behind atheism. It seems that
the
claim "God definitely does not exist" is very similar to the mind set of
one who says "God definitely does exist". And, all else being equal, it
seems a lot easier to pick the latter option given societal
I know better than to ask this, but where exactly do you 'research' yr
information from?
Yr cute, but I have got to know.
well
the bible is a good start ;)
and also, my father raised me jewish so from my experience i know that jews
purposely don't put much belief into the new testament

ok if anyone has ever watched a robert altman film like nashville or

my guess is that paul thomas anderson has seen shortcuts and nashville

i mean maybe the 2000 is an exaggeration. i think some people think it's

bible but i can't
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
I think you are confusing the year 2000 with what (as you say)
:"fundamentalists, orthodox jews, 'biblical literalists'" believe. You
have
heard of (as I'm sure they have) B.C. right? We're only 2000 years into
A.D.
nobody I have ever heard of is claiming that was the beginning.
well you
I think people that are anti-Christian are just as silly as people who
are
anti-non-Christians (if you can think of a better way to say that, please
say so). A lot of people I know have come to this bizarre conclusion that
anyone who has a profound belief is either ignorant or hateful or
in my humble opinion, "this is a long drive" is amazingly better.
wow really? see, it's hard for me to decide which is actually the better
one...
the lonesome crowded west is a whole lot more aggressive in the long run as
well as much more intense.
this is a long drive sounds like it's making
I hate to disappoint, but I've never seen that movie.
Good for you. One of the worst movies of all time.
no kidding. that is a horrible, horrible movie..but the soundtrack can
be/is good :P no one misses out on that but if you do not watch forrest
gump tonight you will miss out.
lt.
has anyone ever noticed on "this is a long drive..." how on #5, #6, and #14
(well actually #14 is beautiful entirely) they sound kinda messy at the
beginning and then they go into these gorgeous slow or more guitar oriented
songs that make the beginning of the song worthwhile to listen through?
typical Mouse, I think...
Although they do go from something kind of pretty to something violent at
times (tundra/desert).
Depends on whether you like the slow stuff or the hard stuff...I like
both,
and think that #5 (I don't have the CD in front of me, but I believe

harder but it's
Okay Amy when you talked about "emoians" looking dirty I think you went to
far.
i did? are you one of these supposed emoians? ;) i mean why would anyone
wanna be an 'emoian' as i put it since i do happen to think they look
dirty. if they do, they do. that doesn't mean that they have a
dammit. i guess i can't be a part of that indie rock scene. i don't
have a

they?
haha i like hockey! hockey is fun :P just cos it's a sport doesn't mean
you have to hate it. sports get out the anger i have
okay, but i like to judge people based on their looks. and i can be

um
maybe i just liked it alot because they used my school's (red bank
catholic,
i think it was in chasing amy? mallrats?) church in the beginning of the
movie.. "jay" was *so* funny in it tho.. but i havent seen him
***I did go to the Get up kids Show on Sunday. And personally,

soo much better.
Last time I hear about Sarge, they played with

Sure hes a republican but
alcohol, marijuana...is there a point in arguing which is better?
alcohol
makes you violent, marijuana makes you apathetic. the fact remains that

a mensa?
no fucking way!

as far as make out music goes might i suggest sam prekop's solo album. i
