from some kid on another message board. unfortunately that post is no longer there so I can’t find out exactly what he said. He also said that he thinks that J got married this past summer so I don’t know if that’s true.

[bob]

ok I’m ready for the news. Let’s have it.

[bob]

last night I ordered the best of guided by voices CD from amazon. I had do the collapse and isolation drills before but I sold them both. I have alien lanes right now but haven’t really got around to absorbing it. I’m hoping the best of CD will have the cohesion the albums lack (not talking about Alien Lanes).

also Tenacious D DVD

the white stripes – elephant

the raveonettes – chain gang of love

hot hot heat – make up the breakdown

a very "hip" set of purchases from me.

[bob]

I saw The Dears again on Saturday. oh yeah.

[bob]

if anybody is serious about this we can be a band by mail, adding stuff to tapes around the world

[bob]

weird I figured the european way would be mostly shedule. Shedule sounds like nails on a chaulk board most of the time to me.

hey space, i like your new avatar!

I never played the lost levels. I will look for the demo. loved max payne 1 to death. I’m not even that big of a gamer. my copy of it isn’t what you call "legal". The website said MP2 was to come out Wednesday. I was so mad that it wasn’t in any stores that I wanted to pirate it instead but I couldn’t find it. Games should be like movies and be in the stores on the release date.

oh this is musical investments. we need a thread for all kind of stuff in October. I made my posts and I’m stciking with it.

modest mouse shows are now on soulseek

[bob]

outta hand, get out of this, over your shoulder, grab it, mind glow, on the brink

you call these bad? you’re high.

[bob]

did you guys se the pitchfork feature on this. Had prrety much all the albums we mentioned (forgot DGC rarities) it also had Without A Sound, unfortunately it gave it a negative review. That album will always be special to me as my introduction to dino and beginning my search into indie rock. It would probably still be my favorite album ever if I didn’t read so many reviews.

[bob]

yeah, I’ll have the pics scanned tonite. I used crappy 100 film but I should be able to lighten ’em up. I’ll work on the reordings and I’ll have em up on soulseek soon enough. You can’t browse my files but I’ll help you find them

hey VF, did you see the mouse in Victoria?

[bob]

I had an extended long weekend and saw my two favorite living bands. I’m going to write a detailed piece on the whole trip for my web page but here is a rough part. It was an amazing experience and I really needed it.

Thursday – The Weakerthans – Saskatoon
Friday – The Weakerthans – Regina
Saturday – Modest Mouse – Saskatoon
Monday – Modest Mouse – Regina

Here is the report on the Monday Modest Mouse show

The Regina modest mouse show was the polar opposite of the Saskatoon show. Well behaved crowd, organ & CB receiver worked, higher stage, flawless performance, great sound, no perspiration dripping on your head… yet somehow I was more affected by the Saskatoon show, as much as I was pissed off by the dickheads in the audience at the time, it had so many spontaneous things that it resulted in a more memorable show. The Regina show was more like seeing the Foo Fighters or something with a big stage and a barrier between the audience. Plus a big part of what made the show great was seeing Isaac’s eyes open up wide when he freaks out right up close (Regina was too dark). Of course, seeing them just two nights earlier made me less excited. I’m glad I saw both shows (same for the weakerthans) because they complemented each other.

There was no encore but they did play more songs and had to take an intermission. During the intermission a guy walked up behind me and said "hey Bob, how’s it going" it was Colin, the bass player from Cobra High, he remembered my name and everything. He said he actually preferred playing Saskatoon, although I’d say they won the crowd over much better in Regina. I couldn’t believe that no one clapped or chanted for an encore but honestly I was tired and I’m sure everyone else was too.

After the show I talked to two other guys from Cobra High and they said the Saskatoon and Regina shows were the best. The U of M show was pretty lame in their opinion, a stereotypical "college show" crowd.

I went outside to talk to Isaac. He was talking to a kid about the storm and how he tried to get hit by lightening once, really funny. He also turned down some kid who wanted to go get high "not tonight" really cool about it. He was very sober I thought he might have been a little drunk in Saskatoon. He remembered me and asked if I wanted to go for a beer. I stood by him for a few minutes and then we shot the shit leaning against a PA speaker. He actually liked the Saskatoon show too and said it will probably be the best show on the tour and it’s the rowdiest he’s ever seen Canadians. He said “No barrier, broken glass, and cuts… but a great showâ€
