Seriously, getting back to what this thread started to be about before y'all started deconstructing IWHO, I learned a couple of interesting things: 1. Folk music has grown some teeth. It used to have teeth, then it didn't, now it does; which is to say, what comes around goes around. 2. Canadians are funny, I still don't know why. 3. The Velvet Underground and ABBA, together at last! 4. Buying a round of drinks for the band is not as cute as it looks. (OK, so that's not a positive...) 5. It's still possible to walk into a room filled with complete strangers and feel like you're among friends, which is extra cool. - --Amanda "Texas and Oklahoma are like conjoined twins, and if you separated them, Oklahoma would be the one that died." -- Ed Poe, Tulsa Native Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

Hey there Frufans!!! I just heard from a friend of mine (his first concert was the 4/9 RIT show, but has been badgered by me and his wife since last fall... hee hee) anyway... I just heard that he was listening to WBER here in Roch recently and heard what the DJ called a track from the new album by Moxy Fruvous! He couldn't remember which one it was, and I just tried to call the station and got no answer. I don't know how stations generally work, but would they play a song over a MONTH before a new album is released?? In the meantime, if you have local stations that play Fruvous, mayhap its time to start bugging them about Thornhill? I'm dying to know what's been chosen as the first single for radio play (unless its been stated and I just haven't been paying attention).

I am willing to make CD copies of the Tuesday show to the first ten (10) people to email me. When I get ten people, I'll email the newsgroup saying the offer is over. It will be the person's responsibility to send the CD's post paid. All I'm offering is to copy them the show. Enjoy!

I found out about this earlier today, and to be honest, my first reaction was "WHAT??", my second "ARGH!!!!!!!" and my third unprintable. Once again we poor Canadian fans have to wait extra time to get hold of the new album <*growl*> > wondering if anybody from Canada will be crossing the border on Aug.10th I for one will not be heading south. Not that I don't want Thornhill ASAP, (after all, I put in a hold request at my local record store shortly after finding out about the original release date *note to self: go to record store to change release date *AGAIN* on order*) but at this point it's principle. I'm not the first one to say this, but.. if we want Früvous to gain more attention on the Canadian music scene, we have to do it at least partially by buying their albums here at home. Crossing the border boosts their sales, but it defeats the purpose of getting them attention here, and gives some credence to the sometimes-mentioned view that Canadian fans have abandoned them. There may not be as many as there were in Bargainville days, but we're here, we're vocal, and we're loyal. (Not to mention impatiently waiting for the Canadian tour.)

"well, they're about more than just politics . . ." i said. "oh, i know," he said. *shrug* anyhoo, tobey had expressed to me in baltimore that he was a little concerned about the set. his exact quote was "the guys are going to be tired. the guys are going to be crazy. they're closing the festival, so everyone's going to be drunk." we had joked earlier in the night about how hootie and the blowfish would be finishing up just as früvous was going on and maybe they'd get some "hootie run-off." well, as christie and i took a stretch before the guys came on and noticed that the tent had pretty much emptied after martin's set. elvis costello was scheduled to go on just before the guys. it bummed us out quite a bit. we figured it would at least cut down on the drunk heckling. eventually, a dj from wfuv came out and asked who was a frühead. immediately a man in the front row began bellowing and thrusting his fist into the air. uh oh. the guys came on stage looking well. dave looking very "yuppie at the beach" in khakis, grey long-sleeve t-shirt, and birks, mike in a bowling shirt, jian in his blue and orange "stop" ringer and yellow geek glasses, and murray in the red button down and sporting a candy necklace :). according to mike's setlist: 1/2 horse moon hold [note: appears to have been added late--it's kinda squished in] minnie michy sauce king grn pot [love potion notes] india baltimore jersey shore after "half as much," mike commented that "it has been said that new york is like a sinking ship and the harbor is on fire. you enver know what's going to happen. here's a song called 'horseshoes.'" great rendition. between song banter was fairly non-existent. even the intros were fairly abbreviated. jian's welcome went something like "welcome misled new yorkers. first of all, f*** you. secondly, you're great!" perhaps the funniest bit of the evening was just before michy when jian said "we wrote a song about our friends in michigan. [wild applause]. it's called 'friends in ann arbor.' here it is." they played a few bars of a jaunty tune about . . . friends in ann arbor. the lesbian hooker line was included in "minnie" and was screamed out from the audience by deb and i. mike grinned (or was it growled? :) at me. jian altered his postscript to say "lyrics written 30 minutes before the show except for the last one." the highlight of the evening, however, was between "minnie" and "michy" (at least that's where roB! and i *think* it was :) when they started talking about how it was so amazing to be playing at the same time as their collective favorite artist. "we cover like seven of his songs," said murray. "it's not on the setlist, but we're gonna gand with that they played *deep breath* "poor napoleon." *sigh* i've been wanting to hear this since . . . well, since forever - and especially since elvis didn't do it at his tower show on friday (though he did do "watching the detectives," "pump it up," "indoor fireworks," and about a million more of my favorite songs of his :). they also dedicated it to tobey, which was wonderful in itself. a bizzare occurance u have noticed happening more and more is the tendency of young female audience members to scream bloody murder at "not the beatles." last night the shrieking prompted a "jesus christ!" from dave and a "you've killed someone with your words!" from murray. ah well. at the end of "potion" mike physically ripped strings from his guitar and dave abused his as well. needless to say, the closing jam rocked :). the guys encored with "drinking song." what a great moment - listening to that song with my best friend. life doesn't get much better :). tobey handed me jian and mike's setlists as he began to clear the stage. i agve jian's to deb, who ran over to show me her wonderful writing grades (congrats deb!). altogether, it was not as bad as tobey had alluded :). there was less drunk heckling than at the baltimore or providence or utica shows. it was dirty (christie and i could attest to that) and we had to dodge passed out drunks on the way out of the parking area, but uneventful otherwise. until ft. erie! ~~kate - -- Kate Leahy kleahy@loyola.edu katiewow@frumail.org ***************************************************************** "Quite frankly, I wish the website would just go down . . . we're starting to make a little bit of money.
