It's >great to find fellow fans in unexpected places. And Colleen, if you're reading >this, thanks for sending in your response card from the album... it was quite >cool to see a familiar name when picking up stuff from the PO box! *laugh* Small world. . . I've never been quite so overwhelmingly impressed with an a cappella act in my life, so I was plenty motivated to send in the card. I also teased them about their website being out of date, and they wrote saying thanks, they'll be updating soon--and thanks for the massages I administered after their show. Colleen Campbell, massage slut. *grin* >(p.s. m-pact's new album, "2," is coming out in just a couple weeks -- it's >gonna be amazing!) Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh baby, gimme gimme gimme. . . I was just mentioning that to Vika a couple of hours ago--while, of course, giving her a massage. Music and massage, what else is there in life? *snicker* ceecee, really truly enthusiastically eyeballing her mailbox for that new CD for the next coupla weeks ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 21:04:55 GMT From: "Jennifer Williams" Subject: Marion Fruvous Does any body know if The Boys perform "Marion Fruvous" anywhere else other than Toronto?

The book I'm reading actually used the word "moxie": "Gadi was visibly recovering his moxie." Shocked the hell out of me. Just about fell out of my chair. I have never seen that word simply pulled out of the air like that. (I did however know a prof who, when he saw it on the front of my shirt, proceeded to rhyme off the OED definition of the word...) I have to say, though, that the phrasing in this book is a bit unusual and so is the word usage. (eg. a couple of pages before "moxie", one character says to his son, "Gadi, get out. You make me bilious." Now there's a phrase I would love to use on someone ;) ). You may wonder what book I am reading (if not, feel free to go on to the next message). It's called "He, She and It" and it's by Marge Piercy. I'm only halfway through it, but I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi and/or has an interest in speculation about cyborgs and humanness. I had best be off, but if I don't see you, good morning, good evening and goodnight!

I like the Talking Heads as much as the next person, however; Although I would never presume to speak for Fruvous, I would think that their goal is not to re-create the original songs which they cover, but to add their own piquancy to the music and create a completely different experience for their fans. If they were to do the stage performance in the style of the Talking heads (unless, of course, they are attempting to parody a performance) it might be considered "pandering to the masses" (Which we all know is something Fruvous simply does not do!) not to mention superficial! Music, being a creative medium, is destined to change...why would Fruvous want to re-create something that has already been done - especially when thier own style is so dynamic and expressive?! *smile* Ok, now I've added my two cents...rough and tarnished though they are.
