I found a bus from Philly to OC, but not from Trenton (although I only glanced quickly). The bus station in OC is quite near the Music Pier so if you got to the station you'd be fine. The NJ Transit URL is: http://www.njtransit.state.nj.us/ Another option is to get to AC and then take a casino bus to OC, but getting back might be a problem. I hope to see you there, Catherine!

They do indeed play Fruvous. I've heard them played on The Coffeehouse (a folk-and-acoustic show every weekday 6-10am) and, rarer, on All A Cappella (Saturdays 2-4pm, sometimes 2-5pm). You can call them and request Fruvous during those times (at least!) at (617) 578-8890. Also, they are indeed a real college station.

HORRIBLE move.. and it was. not so much longer after that, it changed formats again, to a brandy/offspring/britney spears format. feh. WMAX did in fact play Fruvous, tho I never heard any recorded trax. They used to do this Live in Studio 57 type thing where they'd have a band come in and do a set in their studio... it was like a 45 min show or something. They'd also have them sign their wall of fame (I won a summer package there once, the summer before the upcoming fateful night). So, it's February/March of 1998, I'm driving home from my Melodrama rehearsal, tuned eagerly into WMAX because they're replaying Fruvous' in-studio recording session. Sunday night, driving home... oh what FruBliss. Following Sunday I'm driving home from rehearsal, and turn on the radio, and hear the slutty... er, sultry sounds of "Delilah," proclaiming she'd found her new home on 106.7. ARRRGGHHHHH!!!! Syndicated, cd-machine soft-rock. Not even tolerable soft rock. Blech! I thought it was a mixed signal... so off and on for the next week I'd pop on, hear weepy yucky cry me a river music, shriek, and change the station (usually accompanied by severe attacks of shaking and dizziness). My beloved MAX was gone!!! And all I was left with was WZNE, the Zone... which I listen to just because it's there and WBER is playing Limp Bizkit[1] or Korn[2] again (I heard an awesome Orbital instrumental today, but I digress). I really don't like the Zone, and all of their people are obnoxious. I tried to call in a few times and they flicked me away like a pestering fly. *sigh* ok, that was pointless really... - --Angie [1] no offense... but man!

One of their > most-often-played station IDs proudly states that they are "one > hundred percent student-operated 88.9FM, Emerson College Radio > Station." WERS is only borderline a college station. Sure, students DJ it, but they do not run it. Management, which controls the programming, is professional. Students who wish to DJ generally have to go through a very tough selection process, and often wait years or never get on the air at all. Overall, WERS is closer to a "professional noncommercial" (like WUMB) than it is to what we generally think of as "college radio". More consistent quality, more central control, less oddness and fewer quirks, a more regular schedule, more selective about what artists they play (which in turn means it's harder for an artist to get air play), and so on. It does have some aspects of college radio, which is why I say it's borderline. Also, unofficially, I hear the people in charge are trying to move it further away from college radio and more towards professional. I hope that doesn't happen, but it's hard to fight something like that, because they *could* make a lot of money if they went that direction.

And wouldn't you know it, the tickets for Philadelphia Folk Fest were in the mail box smiling up at me!!! I was so excited! Then, one of the errands I had to run was selling my (and my parents') used cds and vinyl. I was walking around the store thinking that they just might possibly have a Moxy Fruvous cd of any kind [1]...but, sadly, they didn't. They didn't buy four of the cds and sent me down the road to Music Wherehouse (that's how they spelt it, this time it isn't my misspelling) which used to be Blockbuster Music. So, I just walked around and there, in the unused section, with its own divider, was ONE Moxy Fruvous cd--You Will Go To The Moon--smiling up at me. But, I didn't have $16.99 for the cd. Damn, I thought. This was fate. This was my destiny. The one and only Moxy Fruvous cd in Hampton Roads is staring up at me in my face, on the day that I receive tickets for PFF, and I don't have money to buy it. So, I left the store empty handed. I went to work in a half state of sadness. Then, my mom came in (I work for a doctor and she had an appointment...she doesn't frequent my places of work just to see me...) and asked me to run some errands for her and gave me $10 to cover the gas. I had just filled up my tank, so I decided to let the money go toward my YWGTTM fund. I went back to the store after work and managed to scrounge up the rest of the money with loose change in the ash tray of my car (sure sign of a non-smoker there!) and bought the cd! So, I now own TWO of Moxy's cds!!!! How excited am I???? And, I do agree with whoever said it--the non-a capella version of I've Gotta Get A Message To You is really great!!!! Ok, a long story, but one worth telling. Now I am definitely ready for PFF! It seems so far away!!!!!!!!! Amy [1] I did see a marker that said Moxy on it, and thinking that they just didn't have enough energy to write Fruvous along with it, glaned into the section, but it was a heavy metal band...ah, the things you learn in a used cd store. They took off their shoes and bared their SOULS. ~Moxy Fruvous, "Fly" ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #660 ********************************************
