A couple days ago, I decided to move out of this dump we locals call "Syracuse" [and non-locals call it "Where? I think I know someone who went to college near there] and move to Buffalo, where many of my close college friends live. Also, I'm well aware that Fruheads abound in the Buffalo area. I'll be moving in on 6/30 or 7/1. For now, this is mostly informational [if I might be presumptuous enough to assume that someone cares], but later I'll probably seek people out to hang out with when I'm bored :) If you're in the area, toss me an e-mail [jesmore@hotmail.com] and I'll keep a list, until I transform into the being known best [on IRC] as NovacEvil. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!! - --Novac ------------------------------ Date: 9 Jun 2000 07:59:48 GMT From: aprestin@ccs.neu.garbage.edu Subject: thursday HoB review... Wow. This show's got to be the best I've ever been to, and definitely among the top couple I've ever heard. I can't quite remember the setlist, but there was so much stuff I've never heard live that i'll at least be able to name those. The opener, Martina Sorbara (Sorbera?) was great tonight (she was more "on" tonight than the other two nights, I think. Her drummer was really getting into it too.) She brought a special guest ("Bad Jim" a.k.a. Murray Foster) on stage for a couple of songs, too, which really sounded a lot fuller and better with him on bass. The guys were definitely having fun tonight. They opened with "Poor Napoleon", which I'd sorta requested Wednesday night. I was really happy to hear it, _especially_ as the first song; I think they do a great version of it. The band played for over two hours, and didn't quite seem to care about the time. They came out for four encores. The setlist, what I can remember of it, goes: Poor Napoleon (woo!) River Valley Splatter Splatter Misplaced (with Dave on piano) ? [I forget what's here and my mics kept cutting out for some reason. Growl. 8 minutes of... silence. I'm blaming the lady that kept pushing past to get drinks.] Ash Hash Boss Boo Time Jockey Full of Bourbon * Jian's birthday cupcake delivered by Jered... Bittersweet (murray and dave) "I was planning on doing this for Anna's birthday... but Anna's birthday was yesterday, so now it's for Jian." Homeward Bound (this was incredible...) Michigan Militia ("time to bring da funk.") Johnny Saucep'n (all three nights... but it's fun, and short, and thus impossible to grow tired of...) The Kids' Song (J: "Keith Spicer... crossed the country... with some of his children, the Spicer girls..." Mi: "Get to know Canada or shut up!") Fly My Poor Generation (complete with lesson in guitar tuning from Dave "See, now that one sounds fine, right? Not a wave on the ocean. Then listen to this... what the hell is goin' on?") King of Spain (a lot of fun... during the "breakdown" they tested the theory that _any_ melody can go well with the breakdown by doing about a half dozen little song snippets, including "Hava Nagila" and "Teddy Bears Picnic"(!!!)) Green Eggs and Ham (which made heavy use of the "eff" word -- hey, it was the 21+ night. . .) Disco Video Bargainville (all three nights with this one too... New trend emerging? Everyone chants "ro-ger! ro-ger! ro-ger!" after "Just ask for Roger...." Hey, it beats yelling "64!" after "played some Nintendo...") Encore 1: Heatseeker Boy (catchy...) Substitute Encore 2: Believe (what the HELL? heh.) The Drinking Song This whole week was great, capped off by the incredible show tonight. And it was finals week, too. I had less finals than concerts this week. :) - - A.P. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 05:21:02 -0400 (EDT) From: Mollie Driscoll Subject: davinci's notebook Just saw them for the first time, in Nashville.

He sang the first verse-refrain unaccompanied. Made me positively melt. I am convinced now that he should do a mellow, Chet Baker's "Let's Get Lost"-style, jazz CD which would show off his voice.

Oh, it was wonderful. Except - I thought Mike sang on the verses, usually. He didn't last night, so it didn't have that high edge which I actually really like.

Actually the last time I saw DVN in NYC at the Bottomline I was wearing my I love Canadian Boys tee. I went up to buy a CD from Paul of DVN and he immediately commented on my shirt and being a Fruvous Fan. I then admitted that I had been one of the Fruheads at the Feb show who was shouting for KOS. He grinned and said that they have no problem with borrowing fans from Fruvous so I don't think we have to worry about them hating us.

And on page 215, there is a panel with a drawing of a book index, listing such things as "marlin", "milk", and "Mom". And the last thing we see on the list says "moxy fr" before it runs off the edge of the page (although we can also see the first dot on the u.)

I caught them live when they rolled into Iowa a few months ago -- and since then, took a more active role in promoting the band (online and off). I just got a radio show here in Iowa (WHO AM 1040); the program focuses on technology topics, but I was able to get fruvous.com mentioned on air once or twice. I'm working on getting my bumper music changed to Jared (The Wild Boy). I've made MF references several times in my newsletter (Lockergnome), and last night, posted a 'test' shot from my new Sony DSC-S70: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=206348&a=6695816&p=22473252 Sorry, Murray -- green didn't cut it in text mode. ;) Anyway, I don't know if I'm a true fruhead, but the band's music is truly tops. Duh. You have to agree with me on this one. Right? When I get enough cash, I'll sponsor a MF concert in Des Moines. Count on it. When? I don't know... but it'll happen one day.

You were at the Iowa show? Sorry I didn't see you there! I was one of the girls with the chef's hat and spoon, if you remember seeing us. When is your radio show? How have you promoted the band? Can I help? I live in the Des Moines area. Also, regarding your interest in sponsoring a concert, I know a few fruheads who are thinking of something along those lines right now (hi Rachel!). Anyways, if a you and I and others can get a group of midwestern fruheads together who are willing to get this concert going, that'd be fabulous. Anyone out there interested in forming a committee? I'd love to get this off the ground! Email me and we'll see what we can work out.

Actually, I asked them afterwards if they get irritated by Fruvous requests, and they said that they love them, and they love Fruvous. They're just sad that they haven't been able to open for Fruvous for several years.
