I *knew* I heard that before -- I couldn't figure out where it was from. I used to watch "Tiny Talent Time" too!!! (along with the other Buffalo based kids' shows) There was another show that I can remember watching -- a game show called...I think..."Just Like Mom" where the kids and moms would be asked questions and they had to match up the answers -- played in the style of "The Newlywed Game." At the end, the kids would cook something (actually, throw stuff together) and the mothers had to guess which recipe was their child's. >Susan (who also used to watch curling on TV as a kid, don't ask me why!)

I enjoy >what I've heard from them very much. The minute I hit the "send" button on this post I knew that someone would say this, so let me explain the "artsy-fartsy" comment.... When I was in college, I was into a lot of music which was definitely not "mainstream" - a tendancy which has caried over to my adult life - and most of my friends reffered to the stuff I listened to as "Sue's artsy-fartsy bands", especially compared to what most of them listened to. I wouldn't neccessarily classify The Housemartins as "artsy-fartsy", but even to this day it's a phrase that's become associated with the type of music in general that I was in to during that time of my life. >Do you know what Housemartins album "Caravan of Love" is on? "Caravan of Love" came along with the second Housemartins album, but packaged as a seperate 45. I'm sure that I've got it somewhere in my basement. - - Sue * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Sometimes I think, therefore sometimes I am" - Ron Hawkins ------------------------------ Date: 22 Jun 1998 03:46:14 GMT From: aditu525@aol.com (Aditu525) Subject: First Poster (sort of) Well, this is my first Fru post (aside from the Muppets post earlier on). Just wanted to say hello! My name is Amy and ever since and friend of mine made me listen to King of Spain last May, I've been a devoted Fruhead. I've managed to aquire all but YWGTTM (*ducks* I'm working on it!! Really!!) Saw my first show in Rochester, the Manhatten Square Park show, which, to this day, is the most fun I've EVER had at any sort of concert. Unfortunaly, I've only seen them 3 times since then, but have managed to meet some of you (Mary, Chrissy, Lisa...^_^) and have come to find that Fruheads are some of the most friendly and welcoming people I've met (thanks guys ^_^). I'm looking forward to meeting more of you (some of whom I've already "met" via IMs and e-mail) in the upcoming months. (Hope to see many of you in Toronto!!!!!) Until next time.......Fru on!!!

Chad and Andy and Angel were all very cool and alot of fun to hang out with as well. Fruheads just are cool people in general it seems. I'm looking forward to seeing Fruvous in concert again, and meeting even more Fruheads. Unfortunately, being stuck in Texas makes that kinda hard.

Austin, perhaps? Anyone care to correct me?? AND, you Texans will be lucky folks if and when they do play down there, because you may get Danny Levin to join in on fiddle... *sigh* I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! - -Zard "...And I'll stay off Verlaine too; he was always chasing Rimbauds." - Dorothy Parker, "The Little Hours" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jun 1998 23:07:50 +0000 From: Moz Subject: Re: Expand Your Fruhead Friends Exponentially!

Is this the sort of image, dare I say, that we wish to project? Umm... My "Expand Your Fruheads..." message is a parody. I would never think of actually trying to use this as a method for getting fans for the band. Sorry if I didn't make it clearer in the actual message itself. It was just another Moz attempt at being witty. All of the adresses in the message are fake, as well as my claims to have already received millions of fru-friends (or whatever I said...). So have no worries, there is no *real* Fruvous MLM campaign.

Well, this has nothing to do with TMBG covers, it just amuses me. I was driving around in their hometown, today--Lincoln, MA. Doesn't take much of a TMBG buff to figure out where the name of one of their albums came from. :) My favorite one, actually. And for those of you who mentioned Mono Puff on here, thank you; I picked it up on those recommendations and have really enjoyed it. cee ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #16 *******************************************
