What's the point of > having a live album if it's not really live? Well, there are different reasons to have a live album. It isn't always to make people feel like they are experiencing a live show. That is what Fruvous' album was aimed for. The set list, the inclusion of elements of Frushows that aren't a part of the studio albums. STD had a different aim. It wasn't for showing people what a live show is like really. In a way, it was. But mostly, it was to show people that songs have evolved and changed and this is how they are now. And here, have Dr. Worm and Finished with Lies and some other stuff while we work out our next album. I also very much liked something Jordan said. The crowd is a major part of a Fruvous show. Fruvous includes the crowd in the show and makes the audience feel important; that they have more of a role than just listening. And so, Fruvous's live album includes the crowd because it is an essential part of the live experience. This doesn't apply as much to the STD. The point of the disc wasn't to make you feel the vibe of a show, it was to show you how things sound live, or how they could sound live on a good night. But to me, the thing that puts Live Noise over the top is how well Fruvous takes care of the fans. I respected TMBG a lot for making long albums with many different tunes. Fruvous' live album is around 70 minutes, TMBG isn't even close to that. I know it is hard to come up with enough great stuff to fill a disc and I appreciate it when an artist takes the time to give me the most of my money. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 25 Aug 1998 22:16:54 GMT From: ourhamster@aol.com (OurHamster) Subject: Re: cover tune wish list/6 degrees of separation >OK, i have two ways of linking to kb, both in only one link.

Thanks so much for pointing this out, Chad, because I really didn't want to be the one to make this point. :) But really, Sarah summed it up perfectly when she said "but... IMO you can't really compare them." It's true. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Well, maybe not so extreme...more like comparing baking apples with eating apples...both are cool, but in different ways. And yet, both are apples. Go figure.

No, it does not *confirm* this information, but it does note that it's a speculation that the airplane was named American Pie. Actually, I don't think that this information is a well-documented fact. There are (small) debates over the meaning of the line "Bye bye Miss American Pie". One is that the name of the plane was American Pie. Another is that Don McLean dated a Miss America contestant. I'm not saying that either of these are false, but what I'm saying is that neither of them is really confirmed all that well (if at all). - --Novac "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true." -- James Branch Cabell ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 00:10:52 +0100 From: Richard B Subject: Re: NoHo time change Colleen Campbell wrote: > >the "names list", as far as i have collected, is as follows: > > Add Richard Butterworth (which I'm sure he'll "pip pip" up to > confirm)! What? Hello? Oh yes, I'll be there. Actually while I'm here I'll explain my holiday plans. I'll be driving about The Great Lakes area for a week or so before the IH gig. I aim to arrive at FruCasa about Thursday 28th October. If anyone who lives even vaguely on a line between the Lakes and Boston wants to cadge a lift they're more than welcome. email me off-ng and I'll sort things out. Understand though that I don't hold with your driving on the right hand side of the road nonsense, so it might be quite entertaining.
