Um, I doubt that. I think the band they're talking about is the one Jian did his last solo show with. He's fronting, and he has a drummer, guitar player and bass player. I didn't catch any of their names, but I'm pretty sure I saw the bass player backing up Martina a few weeks ago on Open Mike. Unless of course, you were kidding.

I think to go multi-platinum you have to have sold at least 200 000, anything less isn't a full multiple of platinum. BTW, the thresholds in Canada are: Gold 50 000 Platinum 100 000 Diamond 1 000 000 Josh Drury Winnipeg ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 17:32:23 GMT From: ctyner@my-deja.com (Adam Tyner) Subject: Re: >>JIAN GHOMESHI (from MOXY FRUVOUS) @ Zaphod Beeblebrox- May4/2001<< That's what I said in my post. "Bargainville" went platinum, and if the remainder of the sales of B'ville along with the other releases top 100,000 (as in, platinum plus another 100,000), then it's multiplatinum. - -Adam On Wed, 14 Mar 2001 10:58:33 -0600, Josh Drury wrote: >I think to go multi-platinum you have to have sold at least 200 000, >anything less isn't a full multiple of platinum. >BTW, the thresholds in Canada are: >Gold 50 000 >Platinum 100 000 >Diamond 1 000 000 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 12:36:07 -0600 From: "J. Ben Schafer" Subject: RE: VOTE ON MY FRUVOUS SCHOOL REPORT! Glad to see others like to use Fruvous in class as well. I am completing my Ph.D. thesis in computer science on the technology of recommender systems. Since these were created to fight information overload I HAD to start the first chapter with the opening lines from "My Poor Generation." My advisors asked "Moxy Who??" but both agreed it was a great way to start the thesis! Ben ____________________________________________ J.
