I >understand this perfectly, what it's like to feel like that's not a >lot of times (especially when they've teased us with trying to attend >fifty shows in a year & a half, with the Fruhead/Frumiles cards), but >really--in how many contexts does one say "I've *only* seen a group >five or six times"? amen! but im affraid ive seen lots, i see more live music than i should. mostly local stuff no ones heard of tho- they might be giants, skeleton key, candy butchers, firewater, brian dewan, magnetic fields, lincoln and yazbek (who??) are all part of the 10+ club... so i wouldnt dream of judging a band on a measly 5 or 6 shows. heh, yeesh. i think once you start seeing bands that much it puts everythin in a different perspective to everyone who caught the good omens thing- i love you all!!! why dont you live near me? does anyone know anything about the "in-the-works" movie version? >>the new songs (except the fish one) sound a lot like Sean Altman songs (crushed >>and beaten romance etc... sean helped found the band Rockapella and has since >>foolishly left for a solo career. and he collaborated with jian on something.) >He did indeed, and I personally don't think his decision was foolish. oh neither do i! i was just being silly... on his little mailing flyers he used to write about what a moron he was for leaving cuz now he didnt have the money to finance his lap dance habit >I also, a couple of months ago, saw Sean in a solo concert, and it >_rocked_! He is an amazing performer, a lot of fun to watch, charms >the audience. yeah, he's great!! for anyone in NYC he's playing Arlenes Grocery this friday the 18th along with some other fun pop bands. a few months ago 2 days couldnt pass without me seeing him somewhere. i even bumped into him on the street walking home from a friends, that was mighty scary. he's so tall... >Nonono, silly.

If you are interested in a more serious >version, Donald L Westlake wrote a book called "Humans" thanx! i need a book... Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds just wasnt meant to be read in one sitting >Actually, it makes you more popular in my book, since it means you like >David Byrne and Talking Heads! I don't think when Fruvous covers a song, >they even want to be compared. ohno!! neither do i... i was just responding to someones comment that it was better than talking heads live show which immediately made a little alarm go off in my little head. certainly they have a right to like the fruvous version better but i just couldnt help it. i think i might like the fruvous tom waits cover more than the orginal... so there. but ive sadly never seen tom waits live ok, til next time the frukids come around (actually, i might even go see 'em in DC... ooh, big trip) ~Liz ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 00:33:49 -0400 From: "JustaBNLfan" Subject: Tour Dates n' Stuff Hi guys!

Occasionally Wood shows up and some stores might be able to special order it.

I am in the same Business. I am in a Group called Pauly & the Greaseballs a 50's 60's comedy rock n' roll show. I can say without a doubt that the foul ups are... Fun for the Audience and that's all I am gonna say. What ya thought I'd give away a trade secret!?

Here in Columbus, Ohio, we have a cable channel called "Educable" that airs educational programming during the day, but at night they air something called "Planet of Sound". "Planet of Sound" features sets of four music videos from such notable bands as Moxy Früvous, The Derailers, Hamell on Trial, The Rivermen, Jeb Loy Nichols, Chris Whitley, and others. The videos are quite cheesy... all the bands use the same nondescript room, and the picture quality stinks. In the Moxy videos, the camera seems to fixate on Murray's forehead. Moxy Früvous performs: I've Gotta Get a Message to You On Her Doorstep Johnny Saucep'n (with comments about cheesy video quality) You Will Go to the Moon The videos are repeated all night long, so I haven't been in any hurry to videotape them. - -- chris ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #94 *******************************************
