First heard your voice on Sealab's theme, after that I had to hear more of your voice! Calamine is incredible, spreading the word about you guys to my buds. Come down to Coachella or California sometime soon, I'd love to see you live!

Julie, Sealab episodes came to Russia, and your newborn fans just say that your songs and music is great (you did ask for the tranlation, didn't you?)
P.S. love the lyrics.

So why not leave a comment again?

just thought I'd drop in and say hi again --- still listening to the albums and loving every minute of them. I can't wait for new material!
Great music, as always! Cheers!

love the new lyrics on the news page! lovely!!

February 16, 2007
ok.it's official. i'll say it here, too. there's a calamine forum up. check it out at www.calamine.com [forward slash] forum. but promise to come back and say nice things on the guestbook once in a while, too!

JULIE
February 15, 2007
on the topic of making me mixed tapes/cds, those of you who might think about it, but never actually get around to it (of which i would probably fall into this category myself, so don't feel bad) you can always just make me a virtual mixed tape -- a list of songs you think i need to hear. post it here, or at the new forum. yeah, a forum!! thanks gavin!!!!

zac
February 12, 2007
haha! widget!
and that's it. mixtape is totally coming your way. or, i guess, mix-cd is what's really on the way.
don't feel too pressured to put out any demos by some sort of cut-off date. you have to be busier than...i don't know. a bee, i guess.
julie
February 12, 2007
i too love aubrey dance and will rework it until it comes out. the recorded version wasn't so good, and i think it was the right decision to pull it from the record.
yes, send all mixed cds to the po box 902 haydenville ma 01039. i am always on the lookout for songs that break my heart.
as for the demos, they are coming along slowly. unfortunately, the model that worked for getting the record done (5am-8am writing sessions) doesn't work anymore since the widgit hears me when i get up & gets up to keep me company. i'm trying to structure late night sessions, but anyone with a kid knows, you are spent by the end of the day. parents look haggard for a reason!
we have shitballed together a little warm space in the COLD COLD barn and hopefully i can start sneaking out there without waking up the fam. new songs by spring....that's the hope.

Gavin: I wrote the Wiki entry, haha. ;P

I'm a bit of a Jakobin on the Aubrey Dance issue (“particularly from "widow's walk" to "with the world”). Of course, I'm not the creative force behind Calamine either, so feel free to follow your heart & whatnot.
Night's Glow was pretty great too while we're on the subject of great not-officially-released Calamine
Gavin
February 11, 2007
So I just googled "aubrey dance" to see what it was and found out Calamine has a very detailed Wikipedia entry, with lots of info on the various incarnations and unreleased songs and whatnot. Must've been written by somebody close to the band.
As far as rare Calamine/Julie tracks, i think i pretty much only have what's currently available on this site plus the 4-track demos of "Porch" (1:51) and "More Sad Robots" (5:04). What else is there that's been shared with fans?
And I too would be up for making a mix cd of recent favorite songs for Julie.. so we could just send them to the Haydenville PO box?
jakob
February 10, 2007
ahh! once you have any kind of demos, you know who to call...
"trampoline" and "horse & carriage" are pretty happy, i think. "new machine" and "porch" are at least neutral, right? "asleep in the sun" SOUNDS content, right??
and you gotta give "aubrey dance" another chance....it's so good!
julie
February 10, 2007
yeah. i figured the only writer i had rights to was myself...
one of these days i'll write a happy song...
jakob
February 9, 2007
damn! maybe i oughtta make you a mix, too. never crossed my mind before...
new lyrics on the frontpage?
julie
February 9, 2007
gatsby - i am so looking forward to it.
julie
February 9, 2007
i'm taking down the stephen dunn poems for now, since i don't have permission and am not sure if he would approve. but i can't recommend him enough. my personal favorites: Landscapes at the End of the Century or Different Hours (his favorite, he says). when i think about the songs i'd like to write, i always come back to him for inspiration. as others turn to the bible (or the bottle) for comfort and solace, i turn to him.

I am SO sending a mix tape.
julie
February 8, 2007
hey thanks everyone for writing in. any other favorite songs? mountain goats or otherwise. the past couple of years have been so crazed, with the move and the baby, that i feel like i have slipped on my musical education. it's great to hear what people love.
julie

February 5, 2007
than You Julie and Calami9ne. I just got the Cd's and I love every song on the new tracks and ur EP.
It was so nice of you to put stickers on the enevelope. That was so cute and very thoughtful!:}Thank You Calamine. I wish you the best!!;D
Dan
February 2, 2007
I keep coming back to a few MG songs that just never seem to get old:
Commandante
Grendel's Mother
Black Molly (anyone know if a non-live version was ever recorded?)
Hard to complain about Deianara Crush, either. There is a lot of stuff going on in that song.
Gatsby Was Taken
January 27, 2007
Source Decay's a great one. Also one of my favs is the KEXP version of Deinara Crush. It won't let you download it, which is a shame because I've been comming back to it for like...two years.

that, and, the poem on the front page is so...relateable. thank you.
zac
January 27, 2007
you're wlecome, julie, beirut is pretty much one of the best.
as for going to alaska, i've had that one on my computer at work a while back, and it's cool because it's a remake of one of his earlier songs, but my personal favorites have got to be either Quito (it just sounds like ending credits!), Source Decay (his lyrical style is pretty much defined on this one), or his cover of Two-Headed Boy, because he messes up the lyrics so much but still makes them beautiful. The way the pronouns and things change, it gives a whole new feeling of being desperate, as opposed to being in love.
most of his songs have something awesome to make them stand out.
what's your favorite, julie? and andrew's?
Gatsby Was Taken
January 26, 2007
There are tons that I'm into, but my favorite recording is found here:
http://www.the-collective.net/~sashwap/goats/04.goingtoalaska.mp3
Sketchy to link I know, but it really is worth a gander. When he brings this one home I just lose it (you will too).
julie
January 26, 2007
oh, and i want to know.... what is everyone's favorite mountain goats song?
julie
January 25, 2007
zac, i didn't reallly know beirut so well. thanks for the tip, i've listened to nothing else all week.
i just got back from my work week in the city. my last for at least three months. i'm pretty psyched. it's been hard, and i'm ready for a break.
hopefully it will be the start of a fruitful period.
thank you all for being patient.
xo,
julie

LOVE you guys!!
I cant wait for the next cd and I am soooo happy I finally discover your guys website.
Keep up the good work Julie and Andrew!!! Calamine is talented and deserves to be on top:) Much love and please continue to make great music. Thank you!

Looking foreward to the next one.

you guys are awesome! i got really addicated after listening to the sealab song.. its like totally neat chords!! like how you go from a IV to a vi, and then a I to a III7. man, way to be different :D cool stuff, keep up the good work!

Good site! Thanks. Kelner loh.

is anyone else excited about the new modest mouse album coming out?
also: new animal collective and beirut eps.
Gatsby Was Taken
January 10, 2007
My favorite track from that record was If You See Light. MMMMMmmmmmm good.
julie
January 9, 2007
oh, but my favorite song of the year:
Get Lonely by the Mountain Goats
julie
January 9, 2007
this is what i loved and listened to this year: the decemberists
joanna newsom
juana molina
cat power
wolf parade (i don't think it came out this year though)
yo la tengo
m. ward
podcasts:
the young turks
best of the left
democracy now
Keith Olbermann
i didn't listen to a lot of music this year, as compared to years past. i remember a time when my entire waking life had a soundtrack. this past year, i welcomed the quiet.
here's to a better 2007. julie
zac
January 6, 2007
sadly, i agree as well. but i'm just happy with the fact that John actually put out another record! Although it is sad to think that he'll never bring out the boombox again, but what are you going to do?
Julie! Do you need any help instrumenting your new album? We could do a CD-R by mail thing! Or whatever. My services are always availiable.
=D
Gatsby Was Taken
January 5, 2007
Agreed. Get Lonely had some standup tracks, but it's by no means his best. That's just according to me though, he'd tell you quite different.
Dan
January 5, 2007
For what it's worth, I was absolutely floored by the Hold Steady album, and really really liked Joanna Newsom & TV on the Radio.
While I am a HUGE TMG fan, and would want it to make any critic's list as a matter of course, I was a bit disappointed by Get Lonely (Ox Baker Triumphant, however, was awesome).
jakob
January 4, 2007
I can't recommend Family Force 5 or Wired All Wrong to a Calamine fan with a clean conscience, but if you're wondering what Julie's music might sound like with a huge electric amp, bone-shattering drums and wails passionate enough to make your blood boil (and your eyes weep), Forget Cassettes' "Salt" is the record for you. It's heavy, intense stuff, but "Patience, Beth (Reprise)" is probably the most beautifully damaged song I've heard all year.
How I Became the Bomb is catchy, dancey, somewhat retro, semi-conceptual synth-pop/rock. If you're into that, they're very excellent.
zac
January 4, 2007
i've listened to the Joana Newsom one, the Thermals' one, the Decemberists', and the Arctic Monkeys records.
but i must say that the Mountain Goats' "Get Lonely", and Beirut's "Gulag Orkestar" are by far the better releases of the year. Joana Newsom's isn't too bad, though, and the Thermals' one is pretty Thermalsish, so it's nice.
I reccomend all of the ones i've mentioned, although I haven't heard any of Jakob's, either.
I actually just started listening to Xiu Xiu and The Shout-Out Louds recently.
Please pardon my musical ramble.
What are your favorites, Julie?
Jakob
December 29, 2006
I've listened to none of those records. Literally none.
This is what I enjoyed listening to from 2006's crop:
Forget Cassettes -- Salt (my #1)
How I Became the Bomb -- Let's Go!
Calamine -- What We Forgot to Remember (counting iTunes as its official release date, this is an '06 album!)
Family Force 5 -- Business Up Front, Party in the Back (a big stupid joke, albeit a catchy one)
Wired All Wrong -- Break Out the Battletapes (big, stupid, not a joke...still catchy)
Katies -- Dietz Demos (not really an album, but bodes well for '07)
Fluid Ounces -- "Instant Karma" rough mixes (ditto)

I'm gonna pay Julie to record songs someday.
Gavin
December 16, 2006
Julie, howbout as a little Christmas gift for us, you record a version of "Holland 1945" and post it on the site? Not many of us were in driving distance to see it live, and I'd love so much to hear it, as I'm sure others would too. Calamine and Neutral Milk Hotel are a couple of my all-time favorite bands, so it'd be so cool to hear one covering the other!
Benny
December 9, 2006
When are you guys coming to Chicago? I know I could get all my friends to come with...
Marty is not my real name
December 8, 2006
I continue to think your band rules after downloading all of the random demo tracks. In fact you guys rule so much you should put all the demos on a cd and sell them (so I don't feel like a thief)
jakob
December 5, 2006
haha, i'd go to school in massachusetts just to play guitar/drums for calamine, if i could do either...:P

...in my dreams, but merry christmas anyway.
Jakob
December 4, 2006
is it wrong that i'd rather see a new calamine lineup and songs before world peace? :P
kidding, kidding! i want it all. ;)
Gatsby Was Taken
December 2, 2006
New songs would be sweet.
Godspeed with the writing!
julie
December 1, 2006
What does calamine want for christmas? time to write new songs. someone to make the spam go away. a drummer. another guitar player (so i can concentrate on singing and songwriting).
oh, and world peace.
i did see a tshirt that read love makes peace. so maybe i should ask for love instead.
