Okay, now wait. Is BJ some character on that horrid display of overacting commonly known as Barney? I vaguely recall running into books in the Barney section of B&N with BJ in the title, but I try to block those memories out. Anyway, I'm also really amused at Kelly's boy.

Caroline said: >Actually I am much closer to a Fru-Virgin as someone so nicely put it- >'cause (gulp) I've never been to a live show. Girl, izz okay. I haven't either. Some might consider me a "regular poster" here but it is also true that I am as much devoid of Live-Fru-Goodness as you are. Fear not. These people will like you anyway. Okay, so chad gave a lovely recap of the albums, and I'm just gonna toss in my 2ct (US). Here goes. I started with "Bargainville." It is near and dear to my heart. Got a lot of slow stuff, got a lot of "sillier" stuff. Good mix. It's early, though, and the lads have grown a lot, musically. Like chad, "wood" is my favourite (excluding Live Noise, cause I won't choose between studio and live albums). It does have a couple of the more upbeat tracks (including the "zany" Present Tense Tureen), but a lot more of the cool introspective stuff. Lemme be frank with you ("can I still be Garth?"). When I first got "wood" I was like, "uhhhhh....guys? Where's the wackiness? Uhhh, is this for reals?" [1] But I kept listening to the darned thing. Once I silenced the "I want silly" side of my head, I fell in love (whole loaf love) with the album. It's a regular on my stereo. Okay, all the albums are regulars on my stereo. Anyway. I think that you really need to decide what part of Moxy Fruvous you next want to explore. Do you want fun, dancey, crazy tunes ("b")? Do you want an early, more instrumentally sparse sound ("Bargainville")? Do you want something more heavily produced and experimental ("You Will Go To The Moon")? Do you want the "deeper" stuff ("wood")? Go based on what you want to look into now. Eventually, you'll come into all of the albums. It is the Fruvous way. : ) Heather Moore [1] Okay, not really. Anyone who knows me at all knows I wouldn't say "for reals" unless I was being silly. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

(get in the)CAR-- "the babies in hanson!" *grin* it's such fun to groove with the music when you're less than five feet away from the guy's faces. made for great photo ops, too... (you will go to the) MOON--ahh, yes, lovely dayton. well, maybe not as lovely as *toledo*... *grin* what with all the technology in dayton, we know where you all will be headed. you will go the way of tang: to the moon. [energetic & fun as always.] WHEN (she talks)--*sigh* THIS is the new jian ballad. i'm beginning to think that jian's sterotyping himself as the soft, sensitive one... not that *i* mind a bit. *grin* it's impossible not to adore a song that's being sung by an emotional persian within swooning range, particularly when the first line is "when she talks, i listen." mmm. PISCO--whee! counting down the days to whenever the new cd is released... i cannot help but dance to this song [tho' not the infamous PiscoDance(tm)]. and yes, pisco still likes apple streudel... LAIKA--i don't believe i've ever heard this one live before, or if i did, it didn't leave nearly the impression that this did tonite. i love hearing the end live, what with the musical layering. & all. fantastique. (you can't be)2 CAREFUL--this song is amazingly catchy... it's *still* in my head. and it wouldn't be so bad if i didn't only know the chorus. it's one of my very favorites to hear, i think, despite the risk of having it float about in my mind for the rest of the night... ASH (hash)--*heehee* you HAVE to see this live. i never really cared much for the album version, but just to *see* these guys as stoners is almost as much hilarity as i can stand. almost. ;) KING -- w/o GE&H, surprising me... "the man who has appeared in more than 70 porno movies, it's mike ford with the introduction!" after the first verse, something was said onstage that got dave laughing, preventing him from jumping into the second verse. added banter, before dave was complimented on his "new long break" in the song. the king proceed to ask if we were curious. jian: "...about the second verse?" SAHARA--non-extended, but hearing that last sliding chord is unspeakably wonderful. another great tune for dancin', too... white dinner jacket--jian covered his eyes from the lights, looked out into the crowd, & commented that it was good to see some familiar faces (and some unfamiliar ones, too...). mike proceeded to ask if there was a fellow with a yellow jacket in the audience. silence. jian then asked about a man wearing a white dinner jacket, who apparantly gave mike & murray luggage (?) but not him or dave. anyone want to fill me in on the context of this? *shrug* moving on... FLY--whenever jian grabs a tambourine & moves to mike's mic, i know it must be for a good reason [read: ballad. mmm.]. i consider fly to be a pretty darn good reason... gorgeous. no complaints. INDY (independence) DAY--aha! a new murray tune! i think "groovy" is the best way to describe this. beautiful imagery in the lyrics. i like the fact that murray's leading a bit more... COCKTAIL (lounge spidey)--jazzy and... i think i've run out of new & interesting yet complimentary adjectives to use. but i also think i enjoy *this* version much more than the a cappella version. sure, the latter's *fun*, but the instrumentation is too fantastic in the loungey tune. MICHY--finally allowed myself to put my flashless camera down & just dance. so i did. this song got huge cheers from the audience (who, incidentally, *packed* the place...) BJ--there's nothing to do during this tune but watch dave play accordion. i love his countermelody when mike sings the lived-in-person-told-by-proxy part. listen for it... "great to be in the buckeye state" or sum'n to that effect instead of hiking the himalayas. PSYCHO (killer)--powerful ending to the scheduled set. i swiftly swiped mike's setlist before they came out again, only to be greeted with shouts from the audience about someone named mike demarco's b-day (just after midnite). in congratulating the boy, fruvous did not one, not two, but *five* improv songs, four of which were david bowie-esque, according to the band. jian told mike to buy bowie's 3-1977 albums in this, his "special" 23th (sic) year. jian also seemed to take great joy in saying the name mike demarco. it made him feel "like an ebullient young girl. not that i don't feel that way often..." after the fourth song, they began to curse at the power of demarco crowd, inspiring a fifth "requiem" about the group's communist tendencies. *grin* HORSESHOES--not what i expected for the encore, but one of my favorites just the same. jian stepped back from the mic to let us sing the last "look straight...". i think more than a few people in the tavern were confused about why he stopped singing. ;p we clapped, we screamed, we whistled... and we brought them back for one more song... BILLIE JEAN MEDLEY--*shriek* i'd never heard this until about a week ago, when i was listening to one of my recently acquired fruboots. i thought that i'd love to hear it live... but since love potion was getting a lot of action lately, i figured i'd missed my chance. not so. :) murray's bass riff, the banjo, jian in michael jackson's role... the *perfect* note to end an already stellar show. the only drawback was the lack of conversational banter w/ the audience, due, no doubt, to the large number of rude drunks in the crowd who were shouting things w/o being prompted, let alone at the band's request. that, & dave didn't appear after the show to sign my poster. :( the other three lads were there, though, and i gave them the tiny 3-D paper stars i folded & personalized [mike got dave's to pass on to him, tho' dave might never see his. mike seemed so thrilled at having 2. ;)]. small, non-food items seemed appropriate as tokens of my affection. murray inquired for my name to sign it, & when i told him, asked, "you've seen us before, right?" *grin* after a bit of a wait (jian's ever the popular one), i got my hug from him & introduced him to my mother, who proceeded to embarrass me highly (as parents always do) by telling jian my gpa. his comment: "so, you're a smart one, eh?" she also showed him a picture of our kitty, foxy fruvous, & he said that she was cute, & that he usually didn't like cats. so, for those of you that are keeping track: jian is a dog person. got my obligatory pic w/ him before escaping into the fresh night air. & immediately began singing the chorus to "you can't be too careful"... pictures to follow soon-- ^kat^ "now he's looking my way, and i can't think of one thing to say..." http://fly.to/the.midway.after.dark [thanks, lace! :)] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 12:47:25 GMT From: Brenda Longstreet Subject: troc show im going!! my first show in PA even though its the state of my birth. bringing two of my converts along with three potential converts!!! sent my philly friends for tickets last nite, they better still have some!! see yall there brenda _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sure, a band that combines bouncy accordion schmaltz, camped-up vocal-group harmonies and lyrics that ask which state has the "lowest highest point" is definitely a member of whatever you want to call the genre that TMBG defined. But Moxy Fruvous is no cheap knock-off, as can be quickly discerned by listening to the two bands' recent live albums. The Fruvous disc, Live Noise, is by far the superior, its spontaneous environment giving a new energy not only to the Toronto quartet's unique sounds--like the mad banjo plucking over a hip-hop beat that characterizes "Michigan Militia" ("I'm fighting for you and a blue-eyed Jesus/America first, and the rest get the pieces!/Happy birthday, Tricia/I'm in the Michigan Militia!")--but to its sense of humor as well. Several "banter" tracks included between songs are classics, such as the band's determined effort at a Philadelphia show to fan the flames of intra-Pennsylvania rivalry; we can only wait and see if they'll try to pull the same stunt again in Pittsburgh. And hopefully this time around, they'll grace us with their manic ska-like rendition of the '70s "friendly neighborhood" Spider-Man theme song. --Stephen H.
