In fact, at the first Früvous concert I attended, Mike went off on a monologue, and then a song, about Grover Cleveland, but he said that it was a little known fact that his real name was GroGer Cleveland. I thought it might be a blast at the v/g transposition thing, but I was mostly in awe as I realized that they were improvising this whole song. As I said, it was my first concert, and, yes, Tobey was replacing a string. melanie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 22:29:57 GMT From: Melanie Subject: Obsession Sign You know you're listening to WAY too much Moxy Früvous when you go to a concert and try to figure out who breathes when during the chorus of "Johnny Saucep'n."

This IS something that's on the FAQ, and please imagine my saying this in the most polite of tones: If you post something that has nothing in it related to Moxy Früvous, could you please put OT (Off Topic) in the subject line? There are often many, many messages, and if I'm short on time, I can just delete those which are not on topic and not feel as though I've missed anything. I've been guilty of not doing this, but that was before I read the FAQ (thanks again, Chad). I'd really appreciate it and, perhaps, others would as well. melanie (in the most polite of tones) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 22:25:19 GMT From: Melanie Subject: New Game Lawrence Solomon started: >>>the idea is to come up with the song based on a single word from it.<<< How about adding a twist? The list of single words must be related somehow, and the guesser must guess the songs AND the relationship/s. Like: pea parsnip beans niblets starfruit The relationship is "food" and the list is in alphabetical order by last letter of each word. OK, so my theme (food) is NOT that creative, (it was a busy weekend and I'm nearly brain dead.) But reading all those MDFs, I'm sure some of you can come up with lists with clever and tantalizing themes using unique words from Früvous songs that will challenge all those who are not yet brain dead (and totally stump the rest of us). Does this make any sense? Any takers? Any guesses on the songs from the list above? melanie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 18:04:57 -0400 From: lawrence solomon Subject: Re: another new game was Re: new fru game MDFS Trace wrote: > >trade > Dunno phew.

I woke up Thursday morning and as that there was only 9 days left till my first Fruvous concert. Then my mom called up that I needed to bring my stuff down to pack for the wedding. I was thinking "Isn't that wedding next week because I had it all planned out to go to the concert afterwards?" So I ran downstairs and demanded to see the invitation, well really politely requested because I can't be grumpy in the morning. And there it was September 25, not October 2. **Sigh** I was very dissapointed and what was worse we were leaving directly after school so I couldn't even lament. I spent 4 days in the capital radio-jockying with my brother so I could get my DRIFT (Daily Recommended Intake of the Fruvous Thing, which is a 12 songs per day, 9 if my favorite song is played). Then I get home to 300 messages on the board (the MDFS is really fun however) as well as a TON of homework. But the good news is that I may be in New York for the 01\01\00 show!!
