Live Noise was distributed by BMG. Velvel may have something to do with distribution as well (I still don't know what Velvel is actually *g*). And, like any Fruvous discs, if you don't see in it in your record stores, ask for it and get it ordered there.

I know the > days of seeing the Fruguys on MTV/VH1 are far off, but I like to collect all > the singles and whatnot. I would say yes, there is. There's been a lot of media push lately and I think it will lead into the first single of the new album (When She Talks, Josh? What?!? My Poor Generation is definitely the strongest of the new songs so far. My money's on it). As for videos, I don't know. They haven't had a lot of recent success in the video realm and I really think the age of videos left a long time ago. Maybe it is just because the only things I watch on MTV are the Real World and Road Rules[1]. But there will definitely be a single. Whether it will be a radio single or a released single, I have no idea. That's one of the things I really like about Ben Folds Five (and BNL and Morphine do it too). There's a lot of singles with outtakes and non-album tracks on it. - Chad [1] Did I just admit that?

Vic has two solo albums and did a solo tour recently while Bela was tooling around with another great bassist, Edgar Myer. The albums are called A Show of Hands and What Did He Say. Vic also has a new album coming out late June I believe. Of course like all solo instrumentalists who do solo albums that have lyrics, the lyrics are very cheese-ridden.

In small doses I love the man, but he can get long winded during solos (witness everyone else leaving the stage and going off for a break, coming back in 20 minutes later, still seeing Wooten going, going back off stage and finally coming back to kick the tune back in *g*). The Flecktones when they are down to earth and playing together lay down some amazing stuff, but I kinda wish they didn't have to cater to Vic's superstardom. I dunno.

Okay, a question for all of you who keep recommending this book. I read another book by D.F. Wallace, _The Broom of the System_, and didn't like it much. I managed to finish it, keeping up hope that there would eventually be a point to the story, but there never was. _The Broom of the System_ was just a long, convoluted series of bizarre events vaguely connected to one another but with absolutely no purpose. The little surreal-for-surreal's-sake touches weren't absurd enough to be funny, only disturbing - what was the reason for that "family play night" anyway, other than to creep out and confuse the reader? The "resolution" of these events at the end explained *what* happened (for those who couldn't have seen it a mile away), but not *why*. And most of the major questions about the main character's life, feelings and motivations went unanswered. SO - for anyone who has read both these books: Is _Infinite Jest_ really better and worth my time to read it? It's been recommended so highly by people whose judgment I usually trust, but how different is it from the other book? k@ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 17:48:16 -0300 From: Rose Subject: Bootlegs I have a Moxy Fruvous Bootleg.

Its by Malcolm Braly, and i had picked it up at the bargain bin in the library some time ago for a dollar. I love reading books and watching movies about prisons, and another one i recommend is Stephen King's "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", on which the movie The Shawshank Redemption was based (my fav movie of all time!) This one is a novella, so its a shorter read and very well worth it. Another book i read a while ago which i highly recommend is Alive, by Piers Paul Read. For any of those who have seen and enjoyed the movie, you must read this book.
