(Ain't no price like free, baby.) "These precocious Canadians' prior output was comprised largely of unctuous cutesiness in the vein of their Canuck homies Barenaked Ladies. But this, the band's fifth album, finds the foursome trading their jokey acoustic ditties for a surprisingly engaging power-pop approach that showcases the band's two most notable qualities, i.e. an impressive mastery of song structure and genial four-man harmonies. Amiably Sgt. Pepper-ish ditties like "Half As Much," "Sad Girl" and "When She Talks" boast enough melodic uplift to compensate for what they lack in passion or emotional authenticity, while the more melancholy "Downsizing" and "If You Only Knew" [sic] demonstrate genuine insight and compassion. The hook-laden buzz doesn't hold out for the duration, but Thornhill is one-half of a terrific pop album. *** " The first sentence especially makes me grind my teeth, but hey--he gave it 3 stars out of 4. - --nicole twn *** "Our lives become the stories that we weave."--from _Once On This Island_ Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn Reply-to address is INCORRECT!

Even The Drinking Song comes pretty close (but the rhythm of the lyrics throws off the 3/4 beat, and it's a little too slow). But Love Set Fire and Lee, although a bit slow, can be considered "waltzes" (even though you wouldn't exactly want to dance to them), as can Nuits de Reve (in fact, this one is the most waltz-like of any of their songs).

I'll actually comment about both of the opening bands from the weekend (BG doesn't count as an "opener" since it was a festival :) I thought neither opener had very good stage presence. I kept looking at my watch during both of them, and a lot of other people were just talking the whole time (which I think is pretty rude, even if the person or band isn't that good at holding your attention - we should respect opening acts, Fruvous have been in that position, too, and we wouldn't want people to do that to them) Of course, neither act did what the guy who opened for TMBG last New Year's Eve did - actually *comment* about the people chatting during the set.

The club itself is kinda small, I'm not sure how many it holds, but it is larger than the Ramshead, where Fruvous performed in Annapolis. Its only disadvantage is that, being in a college town, it is 21+. In spite of that, I would like to see Fruvous play there. Their web site is www.chameleonpa.com. Visit the site.

This view was confirmed afterward, when a quite irate patron approached the lead singer and demanded to know what he thought he were doing singing such offensive lyrics. The lead singer had the hubris to try to compare the "hillbilly" song to Michy. Yeah, *right*. But at least this explanation mollified the outraged patron.

Those are some good lyrics worthy of repeating, Mocks! To me that review wasn't bad. I mean, Thornhill being "one-half of a terrific pop album" is a good compliment to me. Some of the songs being a short on emotion in the studio but having the music make up for it is a good observation as well. Yeah, the first couple lines jabbing the Fruvous a lot of love in the ribs may make some people cringe, but oh well. It's a review *grin* I still can't get off the "one-half of a terrific pop album". That's a good statement to hear from a critic to me. The reviewer probably was lost on the Earthquakes and Hate Letters and Splatter Splatters that don't quite nudge into pop as much as the others, but liked the others enough to pull the album through. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 15:22:39 GMT From: coondog42@my-deja.com Subject: Re: Bootlegs for download > please stop crossposting this stuff to alt.music.moxy-fruvous. we're not > interested in bootlegs; fruvous generally allows taping of their shows.

Didn't hear it, but one of the faithful in the GBS Chatroom posted a transcription. The part in question went: Caller: ...A lot of bands in Canada get a lot of ribbing when they come out in the states for selling out. Barenaked Ladies are the obvious choice. Moxy, with their new album, is getting a lot of bad publicity about selling out, how they've changed their sound. Are you guys worried about that? Your new album is a little quieter than some of your other ones. Although, I do like it. I love the new album. Are you guys afraid of people saying that you sold out to the American audiences? Alan: Well, our next record after this one, is actually a complete trip-hop album... Sean: Yeah. Alan: So no... Sean: No, we're not too worried. Alan: No, I mean the funniest thing about the whole trad thing and about doing Newfoundland music is it's often viewed... people often think of it as some kind of cross that we bear, or something that we do because we have to or because... we do it because we love it and I can't see us ever playing music that isn't flavoured in Newfoundland traditional music, because it's where our hearts lie and it's what we do for a living. And, I think, as you point out, as a fan and stuff, I think that fact that we *are* true to our roots is probably our biggest selling point. And, I think that selling out for us would be selling off, it wouldn't work at all anyway, so... Besides, as someone else in the GBS Chatroom noticed, if they really wanted to sell out to American audiences, they would not have included "a song about bashing the brains out of sea mammals" (Ferryland Sealer).

Today, however we know that weather is caused by Canada, a large, invixible country near michigan. Canada's principal activity is exporting cold canadian air masses to Chicago, which converts them to weather and distributes them to the rest of the country. Lately, however, Canada's dominance in the air-mass-exporting field has been challenged by Japan, which produces warm Pacific air masses and sells them to California, which uses them to produce smog and mud slides. SOme countries, such as Russia and China, try to produce their own air masses, but they usually end up importing used weather from the united states. England imports most of it's weather, but can afford only rain. Many undetdeveloped nations have no weather at all. ~Dave Barry (sorry for that really long "sig". it's the weather. i suppose we could call it a Floydian slip! ) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 14:29:42 -0400 From: "Ken Perschke" Subject: Re: Douglas Adams takes over the world!
