For the longest time, from when I was a wee wee lassie, I thought they were singing "Planet Strange." I never was a huge Who fan, so I never knew ... until, when trying to compile a setlist after the Ottawa Folk Fest, I realized that no one, not my husband, not the lyric search pages, no one at all had any clue what this very famous song was that I had been hearing for at least two decades. So... I frantically did a Who title search and finally came up with (doh!) "Can't Explain." Fru content? They played it at the Luxor -- and "Planet Strange" fit in perfectly with the rest of their Space Oddity/Ashes to Ashes medley. Beam me up, Mr. Scott. - -- Lori. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 22:45:20 GMT From: Christi218@aol.com Subject: Re: Frudegreens In a message dated 98-09-30 12:34:12 EDT, nafio@my-dejanews.com writes: > I gotta admit, for the longest time I thought it was "common" too. > *G* Must have something to do with the Canadian accent.. we > add "o"'s in everywhere (or so an American friend told me when > I explained that an American accent is > identifiable by the use of "a" in place of most vowels.

If you attended the Fruhead Convention and have a brother named Paul whom you persuaded to go to the San Francisco show last night (9/29), please contact me. I owe him money, and I *did* look for him after the show, I really did. - --nicole twn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 19:38:35 -0400 From: Summer Young Subject: Re: New Quill and Merch Question Being the first quill I've ever recieved, you can imagine how excited I was when my dad told me I had mail from Moxy Fruvous. I was getting a bowl of ice cream at the time and it was all melted. And then there was my little brother trying to talk to me and I just ignored him and kept reading. After I read the first paragraph I stopped to say, "They 'love' me", and went right back to it. Just thought I'd share my joyful and slightly amusing story. ->Summer ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 17:56:47 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: San Francisco Review Nat Gertler wrote: > > Caitlin wrote: > > > > I'm sure I'm missing people, but Doug Levy did eventually show up, as did > > the illustrious Nat Gertler. > > Who?!? Nat Gertler! THE Nat Gertler. You see, pre-Wood, the band had a contest for naming the new album (and each person who entered got a Wood sampler tape). One of the entries was Song for Nat Gertler which was suggested by, you guessed it, Nat Gertler. That was one of the entries that got mentioned in the Quill. You can read old issues of the Quill on everyone's favorite Web Site, Fruvous Dot Com. http://www.fruvous.com/quill.html The Quill in question is Quill #6: http://www.fruvous.com/quill6.html - Chad (who read all the back issues of the Quill to get crossword puzzle answers *grin*) ------------------------------ Date: 30 Sep 1998 23:51:40 GMT From: ez076113@dilbert.ucdavis.edu (Nicole Carlson) Subject: San Francisco review! (long-winded) My smile muscles hurt. At last, at LONG last, we in California end our four-year-long Fruvous drought. And what a show! (My fourth, and my first on the new Frumiles card.) What a long show, although it didn't seem that way last night. But first things first. As I was driving to San Francisco, I passed a "Matheson" freight truck. Granted, this isn't unusual, but I took it as a good sign. (Did I ever tell you guys that I once had a math professor named "Jian"? (Ok, it was his last name, but still.)) I finally got to the city and joined Beth (from LA), Jason (of all people!), Caiti's friend Christa, Caiti herself, Jude (not to be confused with Fruvous's Jude), and some other people whose names escape me. *sheepish grin* We ate dinner at a really good vegetarian restaurant near the War Memorial Opera House ("Millenium"). While I was in the restroom, I noticed a shadow box on the wall containing, among other things, a little bottle labeled "Love Potion IX". "Hey," said I to the others once I came out, "there's a bottle of Love Potion #9 in the restroom!" (Fruvous reference #2 of the day) Caiti perused the menu and discovered that the restaurant was actually selling these vials of Love Potion #9, so we all chipped in and got one. (The waiter warned us not to drink it on the premises. Make of that what you will.) Beth had procured a California flag and we all signed it. (Someone turned the bear into a budgie bear.) After dinner we all jetted over to Slim's, where I met up with some friends (and converts ;) of mine. The one and only Nat Gertler, whom I'd never met, was also there. I didn't much like the opening band, Laughing Stock. They were a trio: drums, organ (!), and something that looked like a cross between a guitar on steroids and a railroad tie. Their entire set could have been one looooong song. They (finally) stopped, there was a break (during which I staked out a place front¢er, and randomly met Larry a.k.a GaritRN), and then FRUVOUS! The setlist: Sahara (with extended intro) Jockey Full of Bourbon BJ Don't Cry Horseshoes Sad Girl Pisco Bandito (I love this song! I love this song!! I want to hear it again! And again! And--*slap* Ow. Okay.) I Love My Boss You Will Go To The Moon Minnie the Moocher (with San Francisco-specific verses, no less!) Greatest Man In America I Will Hold On Half as Much (I don't know what the real name is; it's the one that goes "I love you half as much...", and it's only marked as "1/2" on the setlist) Michigan Militia Johnny Saucep'n Message King of Spain (The intro was about how they were concerned about the Russian ruble, and how the proceeds from tonight's show (Jian: "Well, some of them, anyway") were going to help out Russia.) Green Eggs and Ham (during the "not the Beatles": "We're in San Francisco! There's leftover hippies here! Plus, we're back in America: they have guns.") Love Potion #9 medley (someone whose music knowledge is better than mine can name the songs... I caught "Stayin' Alive", "Who Will Save Your Soul?"... everything else was familiar, but I can't name them.) I put our vial of Love Potion #9 on stage (Mike was closest to me at the time); Mike frowned at it, then at me, but apparently forgot about it.) - -- Get In The Car Psycho Killer - -- Darlington Darling (cool! I wasn't expecting to hear it live; it was a nice treat!) The Drinking Song Afterwards we mingled some more. Doug Levy came around and said hi. I snagged Jian's setlist AND a Fruvous poster. Jian came out after about 1/2 hour and said hi to everyone. Beth presented the flag, which he liked. He said that they were surprised how many people knew their stuff, and that THEY'D BE COMING BACK!!! Whooo! So it was great to see everyone, and let's do it again NEXT TIME! - --nicole the really happy wonder nerd sporting new definition T. p.s. Chris, you're welcome to use my purple prose, or not, as you see fit. Or, like, whatever. :) ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #698 ********************************************
