Yah, I think Wood is probably the best thing to start a newbie off with that isn't familiar with the more wacky TMBG-ish style of music. Of course, my first exposure to Fruvous was the Live album. :) Starfox "Uuhhuhuhuhh....I said exposure..." - -- Starfox starfox (at) nationwide dot net "We each pay a fabulous price, for our visions of paradise." - Rush "Mission" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 10:23:36 +0100 From: Richard Butterworth Subject: Re: Pisco Bandito Zack Widup wrote: > >Forgive me, but what's "Come Dancing"?

Is no-one going to mention the famous, funny but rather disgusting joke to which the punchline is `Come Dancing'? Not me that's for sure. I suppose the Kinks begged, borrowed or stole the title Come Dancing from a TV show about competition ballroom dancing.

I would have to imagine in these days of ISPs, and the flurry about 'the web', that nearly everyone who's on the internet has web access. I'm not really sure if a new, separate mailing list is necessary, esp. with the news gateway that Ofer set up. I've tried my best to make FDC as easy to use as possible, presenting new information in logical places. As many of you know, I am receptive to new organizational ideas if enough people think they would be beneficial. Let me take this time to forwarn everyone (slightly)... I am planning a move to Boston in the next few months, and inevitably FDC will slow down a little bit during that move. Don't worry; I'll still make sure that timely, crucial info is posted ASAP. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris O'Malley http://www.fruvous.com 'Tattoo Fru' webmaster@fruvous.com "I like being a pretzel with you..." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 12:51:05 GMT From: cricket5@hotmail.com Subject: Re: Ever considered a fru-mailing list?

I think this would be great for keeping folks up-to-date with new tour dates that were added after a Quill mailing. Especially for those folks who use the Quill as their primary source of info and don't check here or FDC on a regular basis. As long as I keep getting the Quill in the mail. :-) Ben Folds Five uses a mailing list similar to the one proposed above with new dates and any TV appearances.

That would be a very useful thing to me (and possibly other ng people who like BFF). And considering my reaction to the BFF announce-list, maybe a Fruvous announce list would be a useful thing, even though it would just repeat info that's on FDC. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 14:34:00 GMT From: mrones@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: Bowery Show In article <1998070111211700.HAA23051@ladder01.news.aol.com>, fruwench@aol.com (FruWench) wrote: > > Good Morning! > And cool! the girl next to me spilled her beer all over me.
