I don't lose any of my back cover art. I just pull the back cover out of the cd holder and shove it in back of the liner notes in my CD album. In my closet I have a stack of jewel boxes so I can reassemble some of them if I need to (such as if a CD comes out of my album to make room for another one). I have to fold the back cover to fit it inside, but I can usually find a way to do it that doesn't do too much damage. I've never had a problem with the album scratching CD's. Jewel cases take up way too much space (I have about forty CD's I carry with me in my album) Jewel cases are way too fragile (especially in a house with 5-yo's) > > There are cases that hold jewel cases, but they don't hold as many, and they > might take up more space than you have... Precisely. If I had to carry jewel cases instead of my album, I'd have to limit myself to about sixteen CD's. ------------------------------ Date: 30 Aug 1999 12:52:41 GMT From: pookytoby@aol.com (Pooky Toby) Subject: Re: New Frudegreen I was listening to the YWGTTM cd yesterday, and i realized that I had a new frudegreen.

But I just wanted to say, I completly agree Josh - you worded it perfectly. The jump from Bargainville to Wood was a big leap - but after B and YWGTM as well, we are more used to differing styles from the guys. Which is a good thing - I really hate when bands are always the same style. There are bands that I have a couple of their CDs, but then I just stopped buying their new ones because I already own that "sound" and if it all sounds the same, why buy more of it? With Fruvous, there are different CDs for different moods and you could listen to them all in a row without feeling like you've only listened to one CD over and over again.

Well, I'm not too good at French either, but I'm not entirely sure the "pas" is that important... without it it's bad grammar but not without the same meaning. There are other words to finish off "ne ____" phrases, like "ne ____ rien" means "don't ____ at all" or "ne ____ jamais" means "never ____". I'd put together some actual phrases, but they'd be of bad grammar, and sounding vaguely like something I would have read in junior high French, like "Pierre et Michelle mangent du fromage dans l'autobus".

Up is my favorite GBS album, though I haven't heard Turn yet. Emissaries from Canada (or rather Emissaries from Buffalo who happened to be in Canada lately) are kindly bringing me Turn at Cleveland though. But Up is very good and has my favorite GBS song, "the Chemical Workers Song," on it. The self-titled first album is a little too sea shanty for me. It's got a lot more of the tradition tunes on it. It's not bad, but I'll usually listen to Up or Play when I want to hear GBS. > Also, concerning BNL, I only own Stunt at this point, and I've heard > many, many people say here that they consider it the band's worst > album.

It's not polished really like the later albums, but it's a great package and perfect for anyone who wants to see what most people think BNL is like (as opposed to Stunt which many people say isn't a good representation). My favorite BNL album is Maybe You Should Drive. It's is a lot more solid than Gordon to me.

I wrote this with Melissa very early Friday morning (pretty much directly after we walked back into the hotel after the Fruvous show). And I am typing it up now (10:30am Monday morning) so I will probly have some editing to do. So here we go... We left Rochester around 10:45 or 11am. It was a pretty uneventful drive to Toronto. We stopped and ate lunch at Harvey's... and we got rained on. *g* We got very lost on the confusing Torontonian expressways. I think they made them like that just to confuse the stupid Americans who visit. Luckily, Melissa can read maps... I think I need to learn how, it's a good skill. We got to 427 South and we were still very confused. Then, my mother and my sister saw a van from the ValHalla Inn (the place where we were gonna stay) and they both screamed "FOLLOW THAT VAN!!!!!" LoL. I think we had a Budgie Dog Guardian Angel in the minivan with us. Heehee. [Eds note: this is actually the concert review and I'm going to type this as if I had just written it. k?] Okay, I'm tired. And my Fruvous adrenaline rush is wearing off. The sugar-high from Tobey's Pez is wearing off, too. *g* Well, it was an excellent show. Faboo. Fantabulous. I must admit, I don't think it was as absolutely wonderful as the Milestones show, but it was *really* good. Tory Cassis (?) opened. If he's the guy I think I saw two years ago, he's improved a *lot*. The guitarist had a funky, shnazzy guitar with leopard print and zebra stipes, but he didn't use it til the very last song... which was the only song that got the majority of the crowd up and dancing. Fruvous came to the stage *gasp* on time. Shock! :) It was a long set. They opened with Half as Much. I tried to premiere my Half as Much dance, but we were all sitting down, so it was pretty tough. *g* They did an improv based on a boat horn. [Eds note: the James in the Boat improv has already been covered, so I'll skip it]. Later in the set, when "James" blared his horn again, Murray said it was like playing straight man to a horn. LoL. Murray funny! Speaking of Murray, I saw this guy sitting down who looked *just* like Murray only with semi-long hair and glasses. As it turns out, it was Murray's brother... and I'll explain how I found that out later. More on Murray-related stuff... They did Independence Day. This was my first time seeing it live, and I could feel myself falling totally in love with it. *swoon* It's my new favorite song. During Boo Time, Murray's bass strape broke and his bass almost flew straight into the air. The look on his face was priceless. LoL. Mike ran over and helped him fix it. Jian had a few problems with one of his cymbils (?). No matter what people did, it just wasn't right. when Dave went to the keyboard (oh yeah, this *all* didn't happen during Booty, but at various points during the show) it was *way* too loud. Mike broke a guitar string druing the Love Potion #9 medley. *g* It was raining during the show, and Jian asked the audience if we were getting wet. When we collectively answered "no" he said that there wasn't actually anything he could do about it so what was the point in even asking. Murray said it was kind of like Woodstock where they spray the crowd with hoses, only Moxy Fruvous has dryers... "bring them towels!" Lemme see... [Eds note: I'm searching thru my pages of scribbles trying to sift out stuff that's already been talked about] When Jian was talking about women being superior human beings because they don't sneeze (and yes, Murray did say something about putting the Kleenex back into the bra where it came from LoL) and they give birth and men can't manage either, he said that you never see women sneeze... Murray (maybe Mike, but I think it was Murray) said that they've never seen Cal eat. "You see him order food and then you turn your head and you look back and it's gone. And he keeps getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller... " LoL. Before they did Splatter Splatter, Jian invited us to stand up and dance. I felt about ready to die because in my state of tiredness, I thought it sounded like BJ (the name of my ex... :::shudder::: ) but they went to Splatter Splatter. Whew! And then I was okay. During Fly, it was raining pretty hard. The lights in the background were different shades of blue and the stage was all misty. During the harmonica solo part, you could hear the rain pounding down on the stage. Pure beauty. *swoon* Jian messed up the lyrics to Disco Bargainville. After he made this mistake he said "Oh shit! Sorry Mom." But the really incredible thing was that he stayed in time with the music. *grin* What a guy... ;) At the beginning of MPG, Dave messed up a little bit. I don't remember what it was, but it wasn't right. They had to start over. It was pretty funny... Jian blamed Dave's mistake on Murray. Jian then said that he owed Murray a beer, but Murray said he'd take one of the many provided backstage. I almost forgot to talk about post-show! As I was walking towards the part of Molson Place where the Fru-Men were, I heard this lady saying that she felt Murray was having a few problems early in the set. I thought she kinda looked like him, too. Well, I ran into Murray and I asked him if he had time for an autograph, and he said "Well, not right now, I'm looking for my mommy," (*squeal* he actually said mommy! How cute!!!). I told him that I had found a Murray-clone and he said that it was his brother. "Yeah, the family's here." :) Dave was cool as always. He said that the Baldagra we gave him was working rather nicely... I personally couldn't see any difference... Maybe it was just too dark. ;) I finally got to talk to Mike. I think Missa and I interrupted him while he was talking to some of his friends, and I felt *really* bad about that. If you're reading this Mike, I'm really sorry. Then Missa and I were in line to talk to Jian, and I handed him my well-loved copy of Thornhill and he said "And you are?" My face like, fell, because lately he's been so good at knowing Missa and me. *g* But then I mentioned WBER and I think it clicked with him that it was Maggie and Missa from Rochester... maybe. Oh well. LoL one of Dyan's friends hollered "Look at her neck!" because Dyan has his incredibly cool hand-made budgie dog necklace. LoL I *think* Dyan was about to faint when Jian leaned close to her to sign it... :) Melissa and I talked to Murray longer than we ever have before [Eds note: I think I'm becoming one of Murray's People. I keep talking about him!]. He told me that he sent his mommy away. *g* We asked him if he got the sparkley hair gel we sent to him via Jian. He said yes, and he was probly gonna use it when they go on Conan. *squeal* How cool! And we got pictures with a tumorless Murray. See, a few months ago we took pictures with him, and he had a sucker in his mouth, so it looked like he has a grossly large tumor in his face. It's actually kinda funny... Um... yeah, that's more or less it. I finally met people!! YAY!! Hi to Dyan and Josh and their whole crew. Hi to Fiona, Amy, Little Chad, Paul M., Chrissy and all the other people that Melissa and I briefly met (I was the girl wearing the orange tank top and Missa was wearing a black tank top... Missa also claims to be the only Korean Fruhead that she's ever seen... does she have any competition?). Okay, I think that's it. Thanks to everybody who actually has read this! :) Oh yeah, I must also thank my mommy because she was a saint and brought Melissa and I to Toronto. She is now defruginized and she *really* enjoyed the show. :) My little sister didn't, but I'm working on that.... Sorry that this was so long. If you aren't reading this sentence, then you realized this a long time ago and moved on. So I'll thank everybody who's gotten this far. :) ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #761 ********************************************
