All Moxy Fruvous albums released in the United States by Bottom Line Records are distributed by BMG. BMG is a MAJOR distributor and if a record store can't order things from BMG there must be something insanely wrong with them. Please, if you go into a record store and don't see Fruvous albums there, ask. If they say they don't carry Fruvous, ask if they can order them. Even if you aren't intent on buying them, get the CDs in the store because someone else may see the umlaut and buy the CD expecting another Dokken. And, well, the band was formed for the express purpose of making those Dokken fans mad, you know? Seriously, the more CDs that are sitting in stores, the more chance that someone will impulse buy a disc and love it and go out and buy more and tell all their friends. Wouldn't you feel great knowing you caused that somehow? Plus if you are actually looking for them and buying it from there, it makes the store realize there is a demand for the discs which is always a good thing. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 21:37:43 -0400 From: "Neilbert" Subject: Re: where do YOU buy cds?

I've ordered tickets for both dates, but in my family the major get togethers are held at my Aunt's on Christmas Day and at our house on NYD. I've heard it said that New Year's is more important to the Scots than Christmas. While that's not true at our place, it *is* important, and this will be the first time I'll be absent from the table in 22 years. It's not sacriledge, frankly my parents are thankful when one or other of my cousins' families decides to celebrate elsewhere - we're getting to be a big clan on this side of the pond, but it's *my* first time. I may have second thoughts at the last minute and dash back home. After the fun I had at our little Fruhead NYE gathering away from Früvous last year, I doubt it though. Maybe I'm a romantic, but the sense of community I get from a night or two with a large group of Früheads, I've never felt anywhere else. *g* And yeah, if the world *is* going to end, or Y2K strikes and we're all stranded... I can't think of too many othere places I'd rather be stuck.
