Garden tour

handle different terrain.” This will
be Niedermeyer’s second time par
ticipating in die tour.
“KLCC does a wonderful job to
make it easy on the gardeners who
participate,” she said. “It is a real
pleasure to work with them. ”
Stephanie Niedermeyer and her
husband, Paul, have had their gar
den for about five years, and while
it is one of the many things they en
joy doing, they admit that with
their busy lives and three kids the
garden doesn’t get as much atten
tion as it could.
“It is something we enjoy, but we
don’t let it take over our lives,” Nie
dermeyer said. “People passing by
in the street enjoy it. It is a very
neighborly thing, and it’s nice be
cause we eat the vegetables out of
the garden.”
For some of the gardeners, the
beautiful landscapes represent
more than just a relaxing hobby.
“Each year we approach garden
ing like we do life,” participating
gardener Kate Joost said. “Some
times we have more weeds than
others.” This year Joost feels like
she has an especially close relation
ship with her small piece of land.
“There has been a lot of digging
and removal of clay,” Joost said. “It
has been very physical.” She is call
ing her garden a grieving garden.
The novice gardener just recently
lost past sweetheart Christopher
Lister to prostate cancer and is ded
icating her garden to his memory.

Veterans of the tour point to the personal touches as a highlight for participating.
“He was a Buddhist Brit,” Joost
said. “The garden will have aspects
of an English garden mixed with
Zen ... an American Eclectic.” Her
garden has been on the tour before,
but during a previous ownership.
“It will be interesting for people
who have been on the tour before
to see how the garden has changed
and matured,” Joost said. While
she is happy to share her garden
with the public, Joost will not be
present during the tour.
“The garden speaks for itself,”
she said.
This year the tour is expected to
attract 1,500 to 2,000 people.
Tickets are on sale now at vari
ous locations for $10. They may
also be purchased the day of the
tour for $13. For more information

Modest Mouse

mosphere and into the expanse of
space.
Musically, it comes as no sur
prise that this first record on Epic
sounds tighter and more polished
than the band’s previous inde
pendent releases. The frayed
edges that defined the band’s early
sound on numbers like “Dra
mamine” and “All Night Diner”
have been smoothed out to make
way for more refined transitions.
The vocals are mixed in a little
bit louder, but there are also more
studio effects put on them than
ever before, creating atmospheric
textures that compliment the lay
ers of guitar tracks. Drummer Jere
miah Green is still the most solid
player of the trio and his inventive
licks propel the instrumental sec
tions.
On the opener, “Third Planet,”
an ethereal guitar glides along
lyrics with a childish kind of
charm punctuated by Brock’s syl
lable lisp. When he sings, “Your
heart felt good, it was dripping
with pitch and made of wood,”
you can’t help but smile at the
closest thing to a love song the
band has attempted since their
1996 EP “Interstate 8.” “Third
Planet” sounds so peaceful that
you can’t help but wonder if
Brock has fallen in love or some
thing.
But darkness lingers not far be
neath the whimsical opener. “Tiny
Cities Made of Ashes” employs a
disco beat, and Brock raps a men
acing verse about hell freezing

over and God telling him to get a
sweater.
“As we’re headed down the
road towards tiny cities made of
ashes/I’m going to get dressed up
in plastic/Gonna shake hands
with the masses,” Brock sings be
fore breaking into a gut wrenching
chorus recalling equal parts Pixies
and Nirvana. This line makes for a
pretty good comment on indie
rock’s current darling’s sentiments
on being mass distributed in cello
phane packaging.
Modest Mouse is fueled by their
lyrics. Never knowing what Brock
will spew out next is enough of a
reason for any fan to pick up this
new album. If you’ve never heard
these boys from Issaquah, Wash.,
“The Moon and Antarctica”
makes an excellent introduction
to this most unusual band.
