They are more >or less a rock band to me, but with good lyrics. It isn't pop at all. most of the bands i dig are beyond categories. it's impossible. if it's not indie or folk.... then, well, i have an excuse for stuff like fruvous and the rheos: canadian! :) still in search of a tmbg category. ;p and NOT "quirky". :P .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. *sarah linnellgirl@tmbg.org http://members.aol.com/kdsinthhal "even on tuesday i'm lookin' forward to the weekend. that's the kind of employee i am, boss." --andy richter, late night ------------------------------ Date: 30 Sep 1998 05:34:17 GMT From: jimcclur@ews.uiuc.edu (Jordan I.

Given that the band hasn't been here in four years and gets no Bay area airplay, this was awesome. 300 people turned out to hear the Fru four. Not bad in a club wiht capacty of 400! At 7:10, the line twisted both directions down the street of Slim's. this was totally incredible. i asked a few how they knew of MF, and many heard of them from people back east. the amazing thing was that therer were more people who knew the drikning song here than in calgary. i met people from baltimore , ny, massachusetts ct, and la at the show. i hope the band got pumped up by this as much as i did.. of all the shows i've seen (and it's been a fair number) i can't remember an audience that was this new AND this appreciatve. i'll write morewhen sober. cheers. doug ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 11:15:36 +0100 From: Richard Butterworth Subject: Re: Rob Paravonian petit_chou@juno.com wrote: > (Sorry, Richard B.

Very good! I would've thought Ken would tell y'all what they are, but he must be too exhausted from the Slim's show last night. Anyway, mondegreens are misheard song lyrics. The name comes from an old English song (ballad?) I believe where the lyric went "..and laid him on the green." Well, that got transmuted into Lady Mondegreen.

She heard the lyric, "Oh, they have slain the Earl o' Morray and laid him on the green" as "Oh, they have slain the Earl o' Morray and Lady Mondegreen." I caught this in an article I read in my local newspaper the other day, strangely only one day before you all started this Mondegreen conversation.

I'm hoping to catch the tail end of fall and maybe get in some hiking. :-) I'm sure that there are a number of touristy things you can do; just don't buy anything from the gift shops. :-) "wild" Bill (hasn't seen a "real" fall in three years) - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 14:04:51 +0100 From: Richard Butterworth Subject: Re: Frudegreens Schwan, Phil wrote: > I caught this in an article I read in my local newspaper the other day, strangely only one day before you all started this > Mondegreen conversation. Weird..... Wierder still... A British newspaper has a questions and answers section. And this week one of the questions is `what is the term for getting the lyrics to a song wrong?' John Docherty of Renfrewshire answers `Malapopism'. Tom Bush of the Institute of Health Studies, University of Plymouth (an academic who has obviously too much time on his hands, cough, unlike me, I'm working really hard at the moment) answers that the correct term is `dislyrhymia', a malady affecting speech patterns but not rythmic patterns. He claims that there's a related condition `amalyralinesia' where the `sufferer' can only remember the first lines of songs and then degenerates into 'la-la's. Frankly this sounds like making up complicated medical sounding names to me. Gavin Edwards of Camden tells the Mondegreen story attributing its inception to Sylvia Wright in a Atlantic article 1954. And now you know... Altogether now, `Who will save the river valley, that's my drinking dum da, la la la la...'
