Speaking of which, Kevin, you've been falling down on the job about announcing other BLR releases. I know there've been at least one or two since Sult and I suspect more. I only knew about Veda Hille 'cause Zard pointed her out to me. I've heard one Susan Werner album and enjoyed it on a first listen, so I'll probably sleuth around and pick up the new one when it comes out. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 12:17:42 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: cover tune wish list On 25 Aug 1998 03:54:28 GMT, affannat@mail1.sas.upenn.edu (Kelly D Affannato) wrote: >Ok, i think i owuld love to see them do anything by Queen, especially >under pressure...jian or dave singing the Bowie part... I begged for Queen at one point, thinking it was even too obvious a choice. Mike said that he hated Queen. :( Then the next day (it was a three-show weekend in November when they were taping) he threw a good bit of "We Will Rock You" into a completely off-the-cuff medley, one of the funniest things I've ever heard them do. Wish I had a tape of it! The strange thing is, when I thanked him for it, he claimed not to remember either my asking or him saying he hated Queen or subsequently fulfilling the request? Not sure whether to chalk it up to my overactive imagination or his drug habits. *grin* ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 12:10:51 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: NoHo time change On 24 Aug 1998 16:02:14 GMT, lhunting@saims.skidmore.edu (Elf) wrote: >the "names list", as far as i have collected, is as follows: Add Richard Butterworth (which I'm sure he'll "pip pip" up to confirm)! Fiona, Amy, and Richard requested early to stay at FruCasa, but it looks like Vika and I won't be resident that weekend--we'll be in NoHo too--so y'all will need to arrange accomodations in NoHo. Since you're all from out-of-country, would you like me to try to arrange it, get you all a hotel room? And how picky are you about floor space vs beds? >As far as tickets are concerned: they are available NOW at the box >office in NoHo. Tix are $14 each in advance, $16 at the door. I'll be calling up this week to get mine, then. Again, Richard, Fiona, Amy (and anyone else from out-of-country joining us--Sirilyan, are you coming?), would you like me to order yours at the same time? I assume, unless otherwise told, you'll want tix for both days. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 08:24:55 -0400 From: Geenius at Wrok Subject: Re: More About the New Pins...

If it weren't for MTV, I never would have heard of Moxy Früvous. Why? Because in '86, MTV played the Housemartins when no U.S. radio station did, and I bought the Housemartins' albums (both of them). Then, in '92, I heard Barenaked Ladies on WOXY-FM in Ohio and thought I was listening to the Housemartins, so I got interested. Then in '94 I honeymooned in Canada, went into a record store and said: "I'm a Yank who likes Barenaked Ladies -- give me something else I'll like." So there. As for the "We're all geeks anyway," well, OK, maybe, but you don't want people to KNOW that ... until you've already sucked them in. - -- "I wish EVERY day could be a shearing festival!" -- The 10 Commandments =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Keith Ammann is geenius@albany.net "I notice you have a cloud of doom.

Well, the Fruvous are two degrees away from KB through the Nields. KB and David Nields are friends (if I'm not mistaken) and KB is a fan of the band (I know I'm not mistaken). Now, if DN could introduce KB to MF, we might find them on a Hollywood soundtrack someday. :-} On a side note, I'm 5 away, though I can't remember how I got there. I did get 6 away through a cow-orker who has a friend working in Hollywood who worked on Air Force One, which had Harrison Ford, who was in The Devil's Own with Brad Pitt, who was in Sleepers with KB. Or is that five? I always loose count. 'later, jeff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I guess I'm just very : dissappointed in the Johns right now. I agree with you. Fruvous' Live Noise is stellar; without a doubt the best live recording I've heard from a band. It not only has good song choice to please Fruheads old and new, but the performance is great, the banter is hilarious (as is typical of a Frushow:), and most of all, it *feels* like a Fruvous concert. STD, on the other hand, seems to me a somewhat stale collection of soundboard patched live songs. At least BFF's Naked Baby Photos set out to be random from square one; TMBG did it accidently. It doesn't feel like a live show, and 90% of the songs were versions inferior to their studio counterparts. To add another comparison, BNL's Rock Spectacle also suffers from the lack of banter and the short length, but at least the songs on there were *improved* versions of their album tracks. They were cleaner, had more energy, and *felt live*. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Woodward, CheEsy Fru. joshw@mail.bgsu.edu Web Site and Tape List: http://www.dc-adnet.com/joshw/ "Fly Southwest Airlines." -- Moxy Fruvous ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #349 ********************************************
