Heh hed, you had no chance of catching me that way Richard. My spelling is so bad that I often utilise British spellings unintentionally. Except, of course for Theatre. I use that one on purpose.

The third book isn't out yet. I believe it's coming out in hardback sometime in August or September and it will be called "His Dark Materials" after the triology.

Well as many of you may know my kids also react to Fruvous. Our younger son (31/2) reacts so strongly that he must hear the "Live Noise" CD every morning on the way to school so that he may sit in his carseat strumming his pretend guitar and singing "PsychoKiller". Once when playing the Talking Heads version of "Psycho Killer" he insists that it is Moxy Fruvous! He even walks around the house carrying his guitar (really a ukelele) singing snipets from various fruvous tunes and intermingling them. It really is quite a sight!

I just heard Fruvous for the first time this past July- so I in no way consider myself a major fan like the majority of you. Actually I am much closer to a Fru-Virgin as someone so nicely put it- 'cause (gulp) I've never been to a live show. It is now my goal to see them whenever they come to Boston (where I live), but so far no plans for that. Anyways, back to the question, I only own Live Noise, and I was wondering what your suggestion would be for the next Fruvous album I buy (me being a poor little child with only small amounts of money to spend on CDs evry so often) So, what's it gonna be?

Is it just me, or are Ani DiFranco CD's frightfully expensive? I've never been able to find one for less than $25. This has cut down on the amount of her stuff I've been able to get.
