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.

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

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!

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.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I do that by implication.

Hahah -- the more so because I'm *NOT* a Sebadoh fan at all. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:25 (nineteen years ago) link

(soaring vox)
Introduuuuce yourself
If you should happen to seeee
Someone who looks like me
(hushed vox)
in the middle distance...
(tinkling piano)

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Not enough beats.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

wait for the remix

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah but it's MY album, punk. And I'll be damned if I sound like a Chris Martin Unplugged album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

what ever happened to that kylie cover?

― m. (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

not enough:

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Hurrah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I like the implication of a Ned Raggett "solo album" that he's currently occupied with a band.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned and the Crouching Squirrels

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, there ARE the spoken word efforts...but those are fairly minimal.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

So what's the deal with MoM?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:21 (nineteen years ago) link

they're touring and junior boys (yay!) and ratatat (boo!) are opening

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:23 (nineteen years ago) link

mitch - Kylie was very excited by their cover.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:20 (nineteen years ago) link

ooooh

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:30 (nineteen years ago) link

not sure her enthusiasm would be shared by EMI, they didn't care what paul mccartney thought when he spoke up for dangermouse.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:40 (nineteen years ago) link

an interview i haven't read but which has a nice picture of the boys

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

also recently - Omar wrote an interesting piece

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:51 (nineteen years ago) link

That first interview is pretty bad.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 12:32 (nineteen years ago) link

According to the Domino website, their version of Last Exit will have a second disc. Having tantalized me with this tidbit, Domino then fail to publish the tracklisting of the second disc (they are consistent; they've not listed what's on the Ulrich Schnauss bonus disc, either). Does anyone have info about the tracklisting of the second disc?

― paul c (paul c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Jesus, you guys sure are enthusiastic bout these fellas.
Could anyone drop me a track in my inbox? I'm curious.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, MoM = Mouse on Mars = I R an idiot (but even more excited about this show).

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

"Teach Me How to Fight" is really amazing. It's the most New Order-y and the chorus synth line sounds a bit like "Elegia".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Great interview, http://www.usounds.com/mt/archives/000309.html

― Frenchie, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost:
...and of course the chorus-ed bass toward the end.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

er, sorry, in THIS emailbox. if you could please.
Thanks ever so.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm very happy this tour is coming to my humble town.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:29 (nineteen years ago) link

"Elegia"

I love that song..
