Um, I think you mean Fruvous. I was amazed and astonished Sunday when, plowing through the discount rack at Borders, I found a CD by another band named Moxie.

Anyway, in your opinion, what is the first CD I should > buy? I'm sure I'll buy them all at some point so this is just for > starters. Here's a personal description of each CD available, and I'll let you choose. :-) Bargainville -- their first CD. Contains *many* of their best-known songs, including "King of Spain", "...Bunch of Authors", and "And The Band Played On". Generally a very fun album, with some slow movements to break things up. Wood -- Canada release only. Much slower mood, but contains some quirkier "slowers" like "Present Tense Tureen". Listen to the end for a hidden "Hey Organ Grinder", which is the *least* slow track by far. the 'B' Album -- Canada only. An EP, not an album, with only six or eight "fun" songs. Released as a contrast to "Wood" by popular demand. Best-known tracks are "I Love My Boss", "The Kids Song" and "Johnny Saucep'n". You Will Go To The Moon -- more eclectic than perhaps even Bargainville. Some fast songs, some slow songs, some a cappella songs, one Egyptian-style song. Two songs swear a lot, if that matters to you. (May not be suitable for sharing with parents. :) ) A good sampler of Moxy's current styles. Live Noise -- meant to be representative of their live concerts, and does a great job by most people's opinions. Kind of a "greatest hits" collection, too, with a couple of their popular covers and several snippets of random dialogue and improvisation. You might like to be familiar with the "original" versions of the songs, though, since some (like "Boo Time" and "King of Spain") get modified or improvised-in during live performances. That's the five CD's in chronological order, and the order in which I bought them. You may pick among them as you see fit. :-) - - Blaze ------------------------------ Date: 11 Sep 1998 16:56:05 GMT From: jsmooth69@aol.com (JSmooth69) Subject: Re: A question for all... > So, Fruheads, the money question one more time: WHY ARE YOU A FRUHEAD? I guess it would be because the have many differeny styles of music, they can play and all of the have talent...something that is lacking in many popular bands these days. I first got into Fruvous because a friend I had met in school said they played the best live show he's ever been to. I decided to buy bargainville, and have been a Fruhead since. > what's your favorite song by Fruvous I don't thinkI could pick one, but Fly, The Drinking Song, King of Spain, Nuits de reve are definitely up there.... > Who's your favorite non-Fruvous band or artist Tori Amos -she's definitely great, with an excellent voice and incredible songs. Her live shows are great too. > Whom would you most like to see open for Fruvous I don't know actually. . . > Whom would you like to see Fruvous open for Tori Amos. . .doesn't really fit well ,but oh well, this would be my personal dream show.

This was discussed on IRC last night and I figured I'd throw the question out to everyone...Considering the large number of Fruheads attending the IH shows, should we have name tags similar to those at FruCon? If nothing else, being able to put names to faces would be nice for those of us who are more, shall we say, 'isolated' from other Fruheads *g* (plus a big help to those of us with lousy memories for names *lol*) Speaking of isolated Fruheads, I think we should come up with a 'Dedicated Fruhead' award for Richard *g* Any suggestions? :) Drea Caffeine and Fruvous: the accounting student's keys to sanity... - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #452 ********************************************
