Hmmm....not to get too socially activist here, but *most* coffee that is imported to the US and Canada is grown under politically repressive and unfairly paid labor conditions. Name a major brand, and you've got corporate thugs terrorizing small farmers who try to improve their lot to the point where they can get a living wage and their young kids can go to school instead of working the plantations. So what are you going to do...forgo that caffeine IV drip? There are a few fair marketers, such as Equal Exchange which sells through fair-trade organizations across both countries, and by mail order. Another plus for this company is they promote sustainable, environmentally friendly agriculture with an emphasis on shifting to organic farming techniques among their growers' cooperatives. They're based in Canton MA. If you're interested in this issue, check 'em out. Their coffee's really good too, says this cofffeeholic. - -- Lori (who can't seem to help herself when it comes to promoting FTO's. :)) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Nov 1998 18:59:49 GMT From: nafio@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: Buffalo...the 2nd night(really long, but maybe worth it) I rambled: > > "magasinage outre-frontiers" - Mike Ford (okay so Marie-Claude and I were > > amused) Lori replied: > howl howl howl!

Actually it wasn't much.. someone requested the song earlier on (it was already in the setlist I think) so Dave started off by saying "Since there's been so much nattering about it..." The other three were back by the piano somewhere, turned as one and said "NO!" Dave looked a little confused and Mike? Jian? continued.. "Since there's been so much nattering we'll play the "Natter Song"" - very quick improv. Eventually Dave brought them back to the song, and Jian's response was, "Ok but you're taking the heat for the lyrics buddy". They then explained that they only perform (and also only rehearse) the song once a year. Jian started to explain what the song was about and Mike piped up with "magasinage outre-frontiers" (I *think* I'm spelling it right. "s", no "s"?) which after a pause Jian translated to those of the crowd who weren't applauding/giggling as "Cross Border Shopping" and they went into it.

Any native Wilmingtonians who know of good places to eat in the city, preferably somewhere near the First Unitarian Church Hall? Looking forward to meeting some of you this week. I'll be wearing a Flyers jersey, #16, on Wednesday; and a "New Potato Caboose" shirt in Baltimore tonight. -Alan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Nov 1998 19:44:41 GMT From: "Schwan, Phil" Subject: Re: Renaming the world (was Have you ever noticed) nafio wrote: >Fiona > >Hey Phil... has Baby arrived yet?

I'm kind of annoyed, even though he seems to be sick. I know it's not nice to be annoyed at a sick person for not wanting to go to Baltimore to a Fruvous show, but I can't help it. In any case, I did find another first-timer to take his ticket, so it's not *that* big a deal. Now, the subject line says it all. I've been listening to the Gulf War Song for about the past two hours, just playing it over and over. I'm not sure it's the song as much as remembering what it was like, going down to Wall Street to protest, my friends getting arrested. By the time it was all over, I was back in Washington. When they celebrated, the Army dragged all its big tanks out on the Mall; the Air Force flew all its planes low over-head; every motion-sensor alarm system on Capitol Hill went when the earth trembled under the piercing speed of the Stealth Bombers. Later, everybody I knew who'd been there was kind of messed up. Nothing obvious, or life disrupting, it seemed more like a lingering shell-shock from having fought in the Gulf War, and physical injuries that just wouldn't heal. Psychosomatic? Who knows... It just takes a lot of remembering, is all. Now the remembering has a soundtrack. - --Amanda Paper covers Rock. Scissors cut Paper.

If I put myself in a Much state of mind, I probably would only play that video in the 'too hot for much' program. It is only slightly twisted afterall. Methinks that if WEA had released Fly or even It's Too Cold as the first singles off of that album MM would have more readily played MF. >*might* be hope for video airings on Much More Music, before their style gets >completely written in stone. I'm still trying to figure out how to request >videos for that station though. MMM? I don't even get MMM. The types at Rogers Cable decided that since the Ottawa-area gets MusiquePlus, we don't need another music video channel. *harumph* BTW: MM's Spotlight program will create a Spotlight for any band that has five released videos. If us Fruheads mount a big enought campaign, maybe something will result. spot@muchmusic.com is their email address. "Psst! Wanna try a 3.5 gallon Canadian toilet?
