You know you were in Frücar Buffalo if... - - 'you're not pancakes!' means something to you - you said 'don't MAKE me turn this Frücar around!' sometime during the weekend, whether or not you were driving - you counted down to New Year's sometime around Utica NY - you flash, slither and dub - eating grilled cheese means something dammit! - you were part of the 'chia ladies + mike' - you waved to Murray while circling the Iron Horse - you finally find the horn, two days too late (*oops!* that was just me ;>) - you have bouncing calf - everyone assumes you're from Buffalo despite your Canadian accent - you held a parking spot by standing in it and staring other drivers down (actually, that was just Mike ;>) Drea "What?

Both, in ways. I'd be very happy that Fruvous would be getting a lot of exposure to a large demographic, knowing that *some* of the people who would hear that song would buy the album. . .discover that Fruvous has a lot more to them than one genre of songwriting. . .buy the other albums. . .become rabid Fruheads. . .and bring me pleasure at some future point by writing enthusiastic reviews of shows I didn't get to attend. I believe the Lads deserve all the success they get, commercial, financial, critical, etc. We all know they've got the ability to produce an album that could pander to much more general rock-pop or even folk tastes, reel in a very large audience, and spend the rest of their career playing setlists that always included the same three songs. At the same time, yes, I'd probably feel a bit elitist--which is strange, as I've never felt so about a.m.m-f. But yes, with the kind of people who would jump on the Fruvous bandwagon because X song was getting play once every hour by WZZZ and it became the new big thing--well, let's just say those are not the kind of people I'd go out of my way to include in my concert-goings. If Fruvous got big enough that their audiences were the type that expect standardized set lists from them, I suspect that they themselves would be disgruntled and try to escape being pigeonholed; I know I myself would have that kind of a reaction. If someone beside me kept shrieking, "Play [top 40 hit]!" I'd eventually wanna whap 'em for marginalizing Fruvous and diminishing my pleasure in the concert. Sadly, I think there would be a backlash to that kind of exposure, too. All of a sudden, the general populace would know a song by Fruvous, and a lot of them wouldn't like it because it isn't Pearl Jam or Celine Dion or Alanis or whatever your artist of choice is. And I'd have to endure people saying "I hate Moxy Fruvous! I'm sick of hearing them!", which is not something that occurs in my current universe. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: 4 Nov 1998 12:21:38 GMT From: fruwench@aol.com (FruWench) Subject: Re: Fankew fankew fankew Richard, Listening to you play while Beth and I finished the costumes was definately a highlight of the weekend for me.

I though it'd be a nice idea if I put a sort of interactive collage together of lots of Noho photos (of the band, fans, fancy dress, whatever) and put it on the web. Can anyone with reasonable photos (don't have to be that good -- I'll play around with them in Photoshop anyway) and access to a scanner send me electronic copies (whatever format, I'll find a converter somewhere). If you're really determined you could send me hard copy by post, that would be expensive, but I promise to return them. Anyone whose photos get used would be suitably credited of course. Also if anyone has scans of set lists I'd appreciate copies of those too. By the way, I understand that some of you don't know what pip pip means. Well, of course, it means the same as toodle-oo or tinkerty tonk. Now you know.
