At least at the new Birchmere. No >dancing and bad service. Those are the two bad things I remember about >the show I saw at the Birchmere. On the bright side, (to stick up for my home-town venue) the Birchmere (and the RamsHead, outlaw talking or disruption of any kind (including dancing), which means that you may have the rare Frushow where the drunks aren't yelling at the band during The Drinking Song. I think it's a good atmosphere every now and again, and my legs thank me afterwards. This, in particular, is why it's good for Fruvous to alternate Birchmere and Bayou shows, so that the dancing-and-carrying-on gets done one place, and the quiet-watching-the-show gets done another place. MFHQ, anyone listening?

Could someone be so kind as to repost the new tour dates posted to the ng by Jude of MFHQ?? I didn't save them, because I figured they'd be up on FDC, but I could swear there were some dates there that haven't yet been reflected on FDC. I know Chris is galivanting off across the country (travel safe!), and may not have total access or total time to update, but I could swear there were some dates around Cinci that I'd love to see again, as well as a confirmation of those Oct. Iron Horse dates. Thanks in advance for the repost...

I don't know if the band gets any money at all off the resale of a CD - can someone advise? My own general guidelines are: if it's a band I like a whole lot, and really want to support (esp. if they're independent or still struggling or some-such), I'll be very careful to get a new CD. If I'm in a used CD shop, I tend to buy stuff that I just wouldn't get if it cost full price, in which case I rationalize myself into believing that I'm not taking money from the band, since I wouldn't have bought the new CD anyways. And that way, I'm exposing myself to them (NO, not THAT way!) and may like them enough to go out and buy some of their new CD's. I'd love to hear that bands DO make some money off of the resale of used CD's - it would ease my guilty conscience a bit.. - -Zard "Veni, Vidi, Velcro" - I came, I saw, I stuck around. ------------------------------ Date: 9 Aug 1998 05:25:16 GMT From: zardsnod@aol.com (ZardSnod) Subject: Re: Mel Lastman Square Review (longish) Sara wrote: > It was great to get to hear the new stuff that everyone has been >talking about.

I, too, love the new songs (except for Half as Much, but...). But I REALLY MISS one that was showing up just as they were first starting to trot out the new ones - "Sleepy Drinker." I only got to hear it once live, but LOVED it. Are there any other folks out there who miss Sleepy Drinker, and would join in with me in asking that it be brought back to the set list?? (although requesting something tends to get it shot down to the bottom of the play list... ;-) >A point came up a while back on the newsgroup about whether or not some of >their improv was actually so improvised. Although a few of the little skits from Your New Boyfriend tour were definitely rehearsed, and a few of the banter bits have become like skits just from being popular and thus repeated fairly often, I can say that I am still CONSTANTLY amazed at the improvisational skill of this band! Seeing them, almost nightly, pull together bits of things that have just happened, either on-stage or in the audience, and working them into funny banter or hilarious song lyrics, is one of the very top things that keeps me coming back again and again. Mike's mind works faster than anyone's I've ever seen - I think you can see the wheels turning as he's singing one line of a new verse, and coming up with the next one simultaneously! But they all have their moments, bless 'em! :-) Thank god for that theater training! - -Zard "Veni, Vidi, Velcro" - I came, I saw, I stuck around. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 22:48:33 -0700 From: Caitlin Subject: Re: moxie Moxie rules!!!

I'm not coming in that case :) UK chocolate isn't considered that high quality -- its got too much vegetable fat in it, Belgian chocolate -- that's the stuff that dreams are made of. Actually I heard that Smarties (Canadian/UK variety) couldn't be exported to the the States because the colouring contained something the States considers a prohibitive substance. A hideous slander on US customs perhaps? Pip pip Richard ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #262 ********************************************
