AGAPParticipantHey Screaming Tree,
My choice would of course be both, if only one Modest Mouse would win that contest. Check out the website Spaceboy posted a link to under cool web sites..lots of mp3’s to choose from.
Any chance you can charm your parents into it…come up with a deal they just can’t resist…give a little to get a lot. Concerts are two weeks apart…plenty of time to keep up with required crap…good luck [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

rdParticipantI would have to recommend that you check out Built to Spill. While I haven’t seen Modest Mouse, but have heard great things about them live, I would encourage you to go see Built to Spill. I was lucky enought to see both Built to Spill and J Mascis on the same day back in April. Built played a festival in the afternoon (and played about 1:15) then I caught a Mascis show later that night. I would have to say that Doug Martsch is at least as good a guitarist as J is. He may even be a little better. I was blown away by Built to Spill. Sorry I don’t have a first hand recommendation for Modest Mouse but I would have to say that Built to Spill is more than worth checking out.

SGParticipantI voted for MM,but I love BTS as well,try to see both if you can;check out the BTS live album from last year;don`t bother with the new BTS album,it`s not as good as past albums.
Check out the MM live stuff at the website Spaceboy found.August 13, 2001 at 12:00 pm #64634
ScreamingTreeParticipantI’ve decided I’ll try to make it to both…I’ve got a friend with a car and we could go to both shows without any problems. If that doesn’t happen I’ll go to the MM show since obviously they’re good and I haven’t been to the Black Cat since I saw J in April.

AGAPParticipantHey ScreamingTree,
Good choice, hope it works out for you!!! Let us know what you think, I am hoping to check out MM in Chicago but it’s a very slim hope… [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img] So any pics or anything would be very cool [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

ScreamingTreeParticipantI’ll be sure to get pics at the MM show cause the Black Cat is a lot cooler about pics than the 9:30 club as I found out… [img]images/smiles/converted/mad.gif[/img] . I’m lazy though, still haven’t even shown you guys the cool pic of J I got…I’ll get around to putting it on a website and posting it.

AGAPParticipantHey,
Looking forward to pics from both of you [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img] Sounds like a great show…MM are playing with Built To Spill for a couple of dates before the shows you guys are checking out. Now that would be an amazing show!!!

Yeah, I think in Athens… I have friends in Atlanta so it may be a go (note: it definitely isn’t a go, Jaron will chicken out moments before hand). [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

everyonelovesjaronParticipantTom, see if you can go to the MM show on the 29th (same venue). I’ll be at that one only. I would go to both, but a certain band named Weezer just announced a local show… heh… [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/converted/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/converted/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/converted/cool.gif[/img]

K7 Rides AgainParticipantBTS BTS BTS BTS BTS BTS BTS…modest mouse versus BTS? Please tell me you all are joking! There’s no comparison. Just found out about a week ago that Built To Spill is coming to Columbus AND Cleveland only problem…the show’s 2 days AFTER I’m leaving on vacation (Son of a B*TCH!!!). Hopefully I can catch them somewhere on the road though. I’ll find the songs and actual times in the songs tomorrow but there is a lick in one of the BTS songs that I swear is exactly the same as a lick in one of Thurston Moore’s song off of Psychic Hearts.
(is TM an influence for BTS, we may never know but with the way the sound, I would say it’s very plausable) You all will have to tell me what you think.
By the way…what does everyone around think of Psychic Hearts? I absolutely love but my opinion is biased being the big SY fan that I am. -
