I don't think there have been any posts about that probably because those of us who knew the theme from the Godfather got it immediately and had no need to post, and those who didn't did not get it at all, so could not post.

It was written and performed for a Rochester area morning radio show that the lads frequently visit (96 WCMF) when they are in town for a Rochester show. The morning DJ "Brother Wease" usually talks with Doug Flutie every week during football season and he wanted Moxy to do a theme song so that when Wease is ready to call Doug they can play the song to prep the audience. At the end of the song the lads acknowledge the whole morning show crew... "... the Brother Wease... with Cindy and Tommy and Billy and House and everybody... we're Moxy Fruvous... bye!" The song was revamped by the radio station to exclude two on-air personalities that either quit or were let go (the names Cindy and Billy are no longer in the version that WCMF radio plays now). It is to my understanding that the song has "traveled" to other towns and has been edited from it's original version to be played by other radio stations. I'm not sure where it can be heard, but as far as I know, WCMF radio was the first place it was ever written and heard (I have the radio show where it originally debuted on tape)...

Before you know about this 'Important Announcement', you must first read the following 'Editorial Excerpts' from some important publications in the United States: NEW YORK TIMES: "In concluding our review of Financial Organizations to effect change in the new millenium, special attention should be called to a California based organization, 'INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE ALLIANCE'. Members of this organization are amassing hundred of millions of dollars in the currency market using a completely LEGAL method which has NEVER been divulged to the general public. While their purpose is not yet known, their presence has most certainly been felt". NBC NIGHTLY NEWS: "Members of 'International Exchange Alliance', who always keep a low profile, are considered to be some of the wealthiest people in North America". More excerpts later, but first let us give you this very "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT": ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' We are glad to announce that for the first time and for a very short period of time, INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE ALLIANCE will instruct a LIMITED number of people worldwide on 'HOW TO CONVERT $25 INTO ONE HUNDRED OF LEGAL CURRENCY'. We will transact the first conversion for you, after that you can easily and quickly do this on your own hundreds or even thousands of times every month. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS "SECRET FLAW"! ****************************************************** ****************************************************** It is even more explosive than we have yet disclosed. While currency does fluctuate daily, we can show you 'HOW TO CONVERT $99 INTO $588 AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT'. That means, you will be able to EXCHANGE $99, AMERICAN LEGAL CURRENCY DOLLARS, FOR $580 OF THE SAME. You can do this as many times as you wish, every day, every week, every month. All very LEGAL and effortlessly! It takes only 5 to 10 minutes each time you do this. You can do this from home, office or even while traveling. All you need is access to a phone line and an address. Best of all, you can do this from ANY CITY ON THIS EARTH!!! Again, we must reiterate, anyone can do this and the source is NEVER-ENDING. For as long as the global financial community continues to use different currencies with varying exchange rates, the "SECRET FLAW" will exist. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As we said earlier, we will do the first transaction for you and will show you exactly how to do this on your own, over and over again! The amount of exchange you would do each time is entirely up to you. Working just 2 to 10 hours a week, you can soon join the list of Millionaires who do this on a daily basis many times a day. The transaction is so simple that even a high school kid can do it! We at the International Exchange Alliance would like to see a uniform global currency backed by Gold. But, until then, we will allow a LIMITED number of individuals worldwide to share in the UNLIMITED PROFITS provided for by the world currency differentials. We will not espouse any more political views nor will we ask you to do so. We can say however, that our parent organization, CILS, benefits greatly by the knowledge being shared, as we ourselves, along with YOU, benefit likewise. Your main concern surely will be, how you will benefit. As soon as you become a member, you will make transactions from your home, office, by telephone or through the mail. You can conduct these transactions even while traveling. Don't believe us? Experience it for yourself! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Unlike anyone else, we will assure you great financial freedom and you will add to our quickly growing base of supporters and join the list of MILLIONAIRES being created using this very "SECRET FLAW" in the world currency market. ****************************************************** ****************************************************** DON'T ENVY US, JOIN US TODAY!!!

It's that time again! Ok, so let me state for the record that I had no idea I was going to this show until about 5:30pm on Friday. I called my friend Kevin b/c of some issues that had cropped up, and next thing I knew I was asking my mom if I could go to Darien Lake. I hopped on a train, and met him and our friend Amanda in Philly so we could drive up. A 7.5 hour drive later found us at the only hotel in western NY with an empty room. We crashed at 6am (yes, AM), then got up around noon. We had lunch at the Applebee's across the street, then went back on the road for Darien Lake. As we approached, we saw the track of Superman:Ride of Steel looming in the distance. I knew it would be a good day. When we got there, we ran into Angie almost immediately, and she dragged Kev and Amanda and me to Superman. (Was I complaining?) A few more rides and some wandering later, and a group of us went to the ampitheater. A note about the ampitheater: it wet. It was muddy. *VERY* muddy. My pants haven't seen mud like that since Ani DiFranco at Battery Park in '98. Ironically, it was the same pants. This time, however, I wasn't in Birkenstocks. Früvous was late coming out even by Früvous standards. And I swear, if they played that awful reggae CD one more time, I was going to kill Cal for not killing the Darien Lake sound guy. For a very big change, I stood Stage Dave fairly far back. Actually, at the beginning I was extreme stage Murray, but the view sucked so hard I decided to go back to Stage Dave where Angie, MC and Kath were. Seeing Sahara as an opener ROCKED. I haven't seen Sahara since the second Westbeth show. Sahara sans dumbek is interesting, but still very enjoyable. Sometime after Heatseeker, a bright yellow light was turned on behind the guys, and the crowd nearer the stage booed it. Jian asked that the light be turned off as "the people had spoken." Lazy Boy was just adorable...Jian seems very comfortable with his haircut, and you can tell by the way he dances. He always danced a lot, but now it's like...magnified. I guess 'cause his hair isn't as distracting. After BJ, Jian and Murray asked for a designated mopper. A young man by the name of Mark, no wait, Bill, wait, strike that, wearing an Andy R. Tops nametag came up on stage to mop. According to Jian, Mark wasn't well-schooled in the ways of being a subtle mopper, and that he should watch tennis ballboys for pointers. Saucep'n. Well, all I can say is wow, I have never heard so many people know the chorus to that song. I freaked my friend Erin out by knowing the chorus back at Irving Plaza, but it was kinda spooky being in a large crowd who knew it. It was loud. Pisco was as usual, adorable. I got a weird twighlight zone moment when Jian started singing Rainbow Connection. This was strange because on the Fruhead Continuum's possible request list, RC was on the list. Last we heard, Jian didn't know anything about that... Psycho Killer rocked. The crowd caught on to Jian's directions very quickly. This was a treat because I haven't heard it in months. Also, there were two punkers standing a bit behind me, and I watched their reactions all throughout the set. (They'd obviously never seen or heard of Früvous before) When they saw the Talking Heads cover, they were impressed and approved. Green Eggs and Ham was awesome. According to Mike, he sees dead people, and Dave owes his grandmother $60 for some reefer. ; ) Disco B'ville was OUTSTANDING. Murray was sporting a pimpin' brown psychedelic shirt, and it was just...wow. They had a fog machine and pyrotechnics. I told Murray after the show I dug it, and he drew a little bomb going off on my C album to represent the pyro. After the show, Jian came out wearing this orange leather jacket. I have that jacket. : p All in all it was a GREAT show. I'm very glad I went, despite the overly long drives, and the fact I was going to go right back to Rochester on Monday. The C Album rules, as do the new "MF" baseball baby tee shirts. Kudos to whoever designed those lovely pieces of merchandise. Ok, this has been the Leopard Lady Review.

I know most of you are all on a C-album/recent show high, but I've just gotta plug these guys since I saw them not less than two hours ago. Anyway, Five O'Clock Shadow is a great a capella group from Boston consisting of five guys, Bill, Paul, Oren, Dan and Stack. Bill, Paul, Oren and Dan are all singers and Stack is vocal bass... and drums. No, he doesn't PLAY the drums. He IS the drums. He does this AWESOME thing with his voice and with his lips (I'm sure it involves a LOT of spitting) and it makes him sound like the drums. They have awesome songs (my favorite is Halo which is on thier upcoming album that I'm DYING for) and I love 'em. Now they're not all that quirky or funny, but they do have their moments. Oren's a big Austin Powers fan and he did some Dr. Evil impersonations... He also stole a girl's cowboy hat from off stage, and that worried me 'cause I wasn't sure of his nationality... he looked Iranian and I didn't want him to steal the "Persian Cowboy" title. After the concert, I told him all about Jian and "Persian Cowboy" and he said he wouldn't dream of stealing the title... he's half Iraqi/Israli. Or quarter Iraqi quarter Israli. Whatever. Anyway, Oren's cool. I talked with him the longest after the show... I made them all sign my French notebook 'cause they already signed my CD of theirs. Bill signed in German... "Du bist wie eine blüme." You are like a flower. I like this group... Anyway, I seriously think y'all should check them out. They're in the Philly area again tomorrow night at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School. They do HS shows a lot and get a lot of screamy girly fans, but that doesn't matter. They're cool. And that's all you need to know. --Rai, Frühead and Focshead. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ I said a BOOM chicka BOOM! I said a BOOM chicka BOOM!
