Memories I too was there (I'd have to be a complete fool to miss a show so close to home). The friend I was there with an I talked about the show nonstop on the subway home, and when we reached Union Station Shania was playing over the PA system as we sat and waited for the GO train. Let's just say there was more than one odd look thrown at us as we sat there with tears streaming down our faces. :) Veronica - -- ***************************************************************************** And in the end | Veronica Gruneberg The love you take | Dept. of Biology Is equal to the love | Queen's University You make... | Kingston, Ontario ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 21:06:38 +0500 From: "Meat Pie" Subject: Newbie Hi I'm new.

If you're looking for a good comic type book: take a look at The Dark Night Returns by Frank Miller. Its a classic as far as comic literature goes. Its about the last case of Batman. You can find it at most book stores, its in 4 parts and it probably best read at once like Maus. Still quite a piece of work for being over 10 years old.

Party streamers and happy trombone fanfares. *Another* frufan in England. Very soon there'll be enough of us to have a party. I'll put out two chairs and open one and a half bottles of Newcastle Brown in preparation. As for getting their albums, both Bargainville and Live Noise can be got on import (for around 17-18 quid) Wood was released here, but I've not seen it in a shop for years, B and You Will Go To The Moon can't be had for love nor money. You can order them from http://www.fruvous.com (where, of course, all the most wonderful things in the fruworld are kept), but the last I heard they wanted cheques in dollars which can be quite tricky and expensive to get hold of. Okay, here's a question for The Guardian of Taping Ethics (cough, that's you cee). What are the morals of me making a tape of B for Jane? Seeing as its not available here Fruvous are not losing, because Jane *can't* buy it anyway and passing tapes around in far-flung bits of the world increases Fruvous-awareness. Of course if they actually released stuff over here that's another story. I said IF THEY ACTUALLY RELEASED STUFF OVER HERE... Anyway, welcome Jane, come in, pull up a chez lounge, peel yourself a grape, mix yourself a gin and tonic and have fun. Gad, another co-incidence, I've just changed my sig to a Chandler quote too.

Most of the american ones (CDNow, CDUniverse, Amazon.com, etc) will have Live Noise, Bargainville, and You Will Go to the Moon. You can also get the b album and wood from Canadian companies. www.absound.ca has 'b' and wood for $11.49 and $15.49 Canadian each and claims to charge only $6 per 2 CDs to ship them air mail to anywhere on the world. In addition, most of these places take credit cards so if you have a Visa or Mastercard you shouldn't have to go through the trouble of money orders and such. jordan - -- 668: The Neighbor of the Beast ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 23:46:50 GMT From: Kevin Keeler Subject: Re: moxy mp3's?

I'm thinking Green Eggs and Ham here. Which, if someone were interested in pointing me towards, I would be eternally grateful. Or a copy of their concert a few weeks ago in Norwalk, CT. I know someone was taping it; if you're out there, I would be interested in hearing from you. - -- - -neil http://travel.to/ct-highways ------------------------------ Date: 18 Aug 1998 00:25:50 GMT From: ourhamster@aol.com (OurHamster) Subject: Re: Canadian customs >Language evolves.

I have several grammar books, specialized dictionaries, and the sort. In the preface of one of them, the author discusses the two basic types of lexicographers. There are the lexicographers who, when attempting to make entries for dictionaries, attempt to come up with the most proper use of the word. Other lexicographers attempt to find every possible way that people anywhere are using a word. The author of this particular book scolds the second type of lexicographer, because they add word usages that are in use, but not necessarily proper and correct. Then, when people are confused about whether a particular word usage is correct, they go to the dictionary to "confirm" their suspicion. If they look at a dictionary entry formed by the 2nd type of lexicographer, they'll assume that this new but improper use of the word is actually proper. Anyway, I thought that was an interesting point. If anyone is really interested, I can either tell you where to find the passage or go to the bother of quoting some passages of it. - --Novac "An egoist is a person of low taste, more interested in himself than me." -- Ambrose Bierce ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #310 ********************************************
