I saw them a month ago or so and I have to say that they were incredibly boring. It may just be my town?? For some reason I purchased their album anyway, and thought the album was fantastic. It's really too bad... I'll probably give them another chance if they come near my godforsaken town again.

Do they just sing to their tracks?

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, one of them. The other one sort of stands around next to the Powerbooks.

he occasionally holds onto a guitar during the performance aswell.

We got this at my college radio station and it is getting a fair amount of play. I should try to get them to play here.

I'm not sure. : /

I have heard "Last Exit," "Bellona," and "Birthday." Of those three, I'm meh on the first two, but LOVE the third. Will I like the album?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 July 2004 22:18 (nineteen years ago) link

it's alright if you like wimpy let's-pretend-it's-1984 electropop which sounds like clan of xymox b-sides.

― Edwin Reardon, Saturday, 17 July 2004 08:03 (nineteen years ago) link

four weeks pass...

admittedly i'm really late on this Last Exit album, but fuck i'm diggin' it hard now

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Sunday, 15 August 2004 22:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Are there supposed to be sloppy edits on "Bellona" at like 3:26 and 4:38?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:25 (nineteen years ago) link

don't try and pretend that those timeodes are not 100% accurate.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Adam, help me! Do I have a bum mp3?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:48 (nineteen years ago) link

That's kind of a loaded question.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:48 (nineteen years ago) link

???

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, I think you have a bum MP3. Buy the record! :)

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:50 (nineteen years ago) link

WHERE?

I just sent somebody to England to pick it up for me, and he couldn't find it!

Okay, I guess I will have to "order" it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:52 (nineteen years ago) link

You SENT someone to England? What are you, the wicked witch of the west??

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:13 (nineteen years ago) link

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:16 (nineteen years ago) link

mom's new album is really good i must admit.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

OMG I'm so excited!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

(Although I'm actually not all that keen on the new MOM record.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

who wants to drive me from ann arbor to the detroit show?

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I am excited too, but would it be evil of me to point out that all live reports I have read were somewhat less than enthusiastic?

I'll still be there, though.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

ugh that tour itinerary reminds me that halloween is on a sunday this year tho...LAME

xpost: well yeah, but it'll be nice to finally meet jeremy

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:23 (nineteen years ago) link

MoM best show i've ever seen bar none

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Sweet, I'll go see them in Milwaukee.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh no, this is the same date as the debut of my friend's play!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Knitting Factory October 7, hmmm...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

the echo is so much better than the knitting factory... which is to say people actually dance at the echo and the echo is... the night before?... after?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

The night before they're at San Francisco and the night after is San Diego, so no Echo show for them, m'friend.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

oh right... thinking of animal collective this weekend...
damn... also, huge lapse anyhow... forgot i was going to both
the cashbah and the knitting factory... though i hate the drive
down to san diego.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:09 (nineteen years ago) link

btw, ned... how long has it been since you had a show on kuci? or do you still? i know lots
of kuci peeps...

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:09 (nineteen years ago) link

a seattle show's been added on the first of october

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Last had a show on KUCI in 2000 -- who d'you know?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:12 (nineteen years ago) link

clay young, dave m., eyad k., meghan c... natalie... umm... trying to think how had shows at the time... lots of people i know through clay... was at his b-day last night at detroit actually... know him?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Good lord, I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths at some point -- last saw Dave M. a little over a week ago.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:14 (nineteen years ago) link

huh... where at... kitsch? do you know marc, eyad, rob, dave... that whole corner table kitsch alliance?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:16 (nineteen years ago) link

if so it's highly likely that we have crossed paths

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Well Clay and Dave and I all know each other from way the hell back, but these days I mostly hang around with the Scott/Yen/Chris/Bill/Kristina contingent when I'm at Kitsch, usually on Sundays. I'm *pretty* sure I know Eyad and Marc but for some reason I'm drawing a blank.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

eyad dj's with rob on tuesdays at kitsch... marc's been around a while... sunday's i'm usually thinking of mondays so i don't get out much on a sunday night. at any rate... i am know your kitsch friends by name and can envision a very dim sillouhette... i'm sure
knowing mutual people it's highly likely that we cannot avoid meeting up at some point.
not the least of which is to do with the fact that i am seriously fucking excited about this
MoM Junior Boys show.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'll doubtless find a way up for that -- so wait, you live around here, Costa Mesa or the nearby area? We must indeed talk.

So you're around on Tuesdays generally? Often I'm busy those evenings but I might be free tonight, so if you see someone who looks like me in the middle distance feel free to introduce yourself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned now you must release an introspective solo album called The Middle Distance, which bears a cover of your in an overcoat standing on the beach on a particularly gray day, looking out into the water.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:29 (nineteen years ago) link

i live in mission viejo... but the only thing ever to do around here is karaoke at this dive bar down the street, so i mostly wind up at kitsch, avalon, detroit or la cave... like most...
work is quite hellish right now so i'm not gonna make it tonight as i'll be at my office til
probably 10 or 11 tonight ... will almost certainly be there next week though...
rob and eyad spin mostly stuff that would be talked about
on ILM though, minus the electronic contingent. i'm sure you'd be into it.
i seem to recall from an earlier thread that you were described as a lou barlow looking
fellow, so i'll keep my eyes open.
dave is almost always there too.
