Yippeeeeee!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 05:21:05 GMT From: "Jack S. Porcello" Subject: Back from holidays Hi all, Well, I'm back on, and set to mail again. Spent the holidays with Lorraine in Kingston, Ontario, and received a nice little surprise present from her mom for Christmas. Live Noise! I'm glad I waited to buy it! We also got the live TMBG CD. Didn't get the Arrogant Worms Christmas CD as we hoped, and it was impossible to find a copy as they had just performed in Kingston the day before I arrived (lousy timing) and all of the music shops had sold out. When I asked around at the shops here in Rochester all I got was odd looks! I guess we'll keep looking. Some of the faces on the cover of Live Noise looked a bit familiar, I suppose from the Frufans section of FDC. I'm sure this was covered, but anyone out there see themselves on the cover (except for the band, of course!)? Peace, Jack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 00:08:37 -0500 From: "Aye, who's asking whom?" Subject: Research project I performed to save your Fruvial souls... Research project: 'Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives' by Dante "The Muslims invented the kaleidoscope to make oriental rug patterns" Blando A month ago, someone in the chat room mentioned that our favorite bald accordionist, Dave Matheson, had some role in the movie Eddie & the Cruisers II. I had also been warned that the movie wasn't so great and that his moments were the only redeeming features. I am here to warn you that the movie only barely earns its rental cost (usd3.24, as I could only find it at Blah-Bustah and not in the 2/99c rack at the supermarket. Talk about bargainville, by the way -- the supermarket has better foreign flicks that the Bra-Bubba and the supermarket doesn't have the meat-locker stench the other store attained from the sub shop next to it). However, it may be worth seeing once you understand its... err, charm. First of all, Should you rent this, watch it alone the first time so you can fast-forward through the second half of it and not ask anyone if that's okay. If you decide this movie warrants a group trashing, which it does, you know which songs get faded out and which just keep on truckin'. Secondly, do not expect a Dave festival. He has ONE line: "I know. I'm sorry." It comes about a minute after he first appears in the movie (52 minutes into the beginning of the cellophane), which I shall describe presently. The most important caution, should you decide to rent this: it's an Eighties' rock-n-roll movie. It was created in the vein of Purple Rain (Prince overacts and Morris Day performs! Couldn't we skip the pesky plot and get to the damn videos?), but it lacks the character development. It's a B-movie, made on such a budget the hero lives in Montreal so the crew (and Dave, our real hero) can be paid on scale. Right, the plot... ha ha! There's a previous movie, which makes up 10% of this movie, featuring a younger and much cuter Eddie Wilson, who has accidentally faked his own death and decided to savor the anonymity. He is now Joe West (oh, wait, it's Quebec... Jo Ouest), a construction worker with enough spare change to have a great mini-studio in his residence. Also, the skyscraper he's working on has a brownstone being built on top of it -- it's a symbol of the facades this movie presents and fails to support. Monsieur Ouest has temper tantrums every few minutes, but then someone calms him down. He's obsessed with refining the sound of his new band, even though the band contains Dave and shouldn't need refining (perhaps he realized early on that the band needed egg shakers, a dum-bek and some songs in French). The movie is in a province where signs must be "prominently in French" and even the roller rink has nary a word in non-English. Dave's character can play "six instruments" (almost as many as the real Dave) but all the lame keyboard work is dubbed. Monkees, anyone? Note that nowhere near enough sheen was removed from the music from Eddie's past to be convincing. The "1963 Lakehurst sessions" (they get Bo Didley to say "a little place outside Newark, called Lakehurst", as if the world's greatest airship disaster hadn't made the name recognizable), depicted as a recorded jam session in a church, sound more technically proficient than a Puff Daddy track. Since music technology is one of the things I've studied a tad too closely, I am offended by the lack of research. While Les Paul had built the first multi track recorder ten years earlier, it sat like an alien ship in the middle of an expressway. The top recording studios in New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles were recording straight to two tracks and microphoning the drums with the same ribbon mike the double bass, guitar, and singer had at hand. The changes within the first five years after this alone would revolutionize everything in popular music, but to pretend you could get crisp percussion and lack of background noise makes the relevance of the historical Eddie... Okay, too far, I know. Simple words, right? How's this: even in the modern scenes, the saxophonist is never anywhere near a microphone and he's louder than the piano. So this flick is made of Roquefort, but somehow the real Dave seemed to take something tangible from the crummy script. One is that "it's all about the music, man": Joe/Eddie (Jodi?) is obsessed with making the songs speak for themselves and getting the crowd to connect with the music instantly. Serving the crowd (even if he's serving them schlock) and serving them something eternal are the checklist items every night. Fruvous are a tight band as we all have learned, even when the members are tight; obviously no lame script had to teach them this. However, I think this may have shown our now-shorn Lad the power of a cheese band and what that power could do when there is no leader and no guilt trip. Putting postulations about what Dave learned aside, I must explain the heartbreak this movie hands the Fruvous viewer. While Dave is clearly visible behind the bassist a lot of the time, he only has the one line. The other guys in the band mock him the first time they hear and see him perform (a piano recital, in which a synthesized harpsichord is audible. Having recorded a live harpsichord once, I had to laugh). They mock his red "vest" (dress jacket). The best visual cameo Dave gets is a good place to bring the Fruvian ironies together. He's sitting at the foot of a tree reading a book when a couple of his Partridgian siblings toss snowballs at the book and him. He starts tossing snowballs and tackling the burly drummer to the ground. Sadly, no hot backdoor action ensues. He is the book-learnin' man, the inexperienced member, and the guy they won't show on screen during the climactic band introduction. Even the drummer gets a better shot, and he has face-obscuring equipment. This was 1988. Back then, Dave was but a whip of a youth; today, he is the King of Spain. "Stuart Fairbanks" had Dave Hyde-Pierce's looks and coif; today, he is upbraided by the other Lads should he skip even one day's tonsure. Still, it is some kind of strange flowering to see this tall tale. - -"I want to paint your portrait," Dante ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 05:37:24 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: catching up Angie wrote: >1.

The song is to the tune of "Windy" I believe. It's very fun and clever. Brother Wease plays it everytime they call and talk to Doug. I'm actually surprised that it is playable because usually Wease's smoking sidekick, Cindy, hacks/laughs through all of Fruvous' songs when they visit the station.

He taught the very first drumming class I ever attended way back in the summer of '95... and we've been close friends ever since. He lives in Hamilton and I'm hoping to hook up with him during FrüCon week (he also commented that he has at least 1 Früvous CD in his collection and enjoys listening to them!) 3) http://users.lazerlink.com/~dwarph/al-musta'rib.html - --this is the website for a newsletter dedicated to Middle Eastern Personae and affiliated interests in the SCA.

I believe Knotte and Jas have MIDI files for rhythms, and al-Musta'rib cites wonderful on-line resources for Middle Eastern clothing, music, dance, accessories (i.e. henna painting, authentic cosmetics).
