If you listen to Moxy Fruvous for the music, you're mostly listening to Dave anyways *grin* When there's something jawdropping that happened musically, 9 times out of 10 it was Dave or Mike doing it. > So really, it's all about what aspects of Moxy Fruvous you like.

Eh, maybe you won't list it. There's nothing wrong with it either. I'm sure Dave knew that when he made the album. Personally, I like cohesiveness in music. I like things solid. It can be thick or thin, but it's a lot easier to make the three elements of something thing meld together than it is to make the 10 elements of something complex meld together. But Moxy Fruvous does just that. Sorry about my blunt opinions of King of Spain and it's brethren *grin*. I could probably count the number of Fruvous gigs I've seen without Jonny Saucep'n performed on one hand. That saddens me. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 09:23:30 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Late to the Dave discussions Marie-Claude wrote: > > FYI - it's http://davidmatheson.ca, not .com :) I got it right 2 out of the 3 times.
