Fruvous has quite a few videos actually. There is a list of them on FDC at http://www.fruvous.com/discog.html. Now, I don't want to seem negative about the whole TRL thing, but they've tried to do this on the TMBG mailing list as well. It just seems to be completely hopeless. The winning videos get thousands of votes (though I don't believe that a thousand people can spell or even say Dabitawa or whatever the hell that Kid Rock song is) and even if we all call in a couple times and send emails, it will take a whole lot of doing. Of course deep down, I think the whole thing is rigged anyway and they just pick the videos whose record labels pay them the most money to promote the video. But, I did see (while I was watching the Real World which I watch for some stupid reason) I saw a commercial for Matt Pinfield's Indie Music Video show or something. Ok, I actually went to the MTV website and found a link: http://www.mtv.com/sendme.tin?page=/mtv/music/flying_indie/ Of course, you can't submit your own opinion, you have to choose from the opinions they have available. - -- End Repost -- > ok, and while we're at it, even though i know this isn't a netscape > support NG, only because i'm incredibly lazy, would anyone happen to > know why my netscape messenger (part of Netscape Communicator 4.5) > won't let me read some messages?

Since I'll be in Toronto next weekend I'll be able to search for > them. Here's my previous answer cut and pasted from when I answered this question yesterday *grin*: *ahem* There are a list of Fruvous videos on Fruvous.com at: http://www.fruvous.com/discog.html A tape of all these videos was the prize for 12 stamps on the old Fruhead card (*NOT* The FruMiles card), so many people on this ng (okay, maybe not many people since all the people who have the videos are not on the ng anymore, but you know what I mean, right?) have a video tape with all the videos on it. There are two versions of this tape, one with Get in the Car and one without since some people earned their 12 stamps and their video before Get in the Car was filmed. I don't know of a standard stance on people dubbing the video. I'd much rather people ask Jude about it and see what she says so that if enough people ask her about it, maybe they will sell the video as merch and make some money off it. But I don't know if that will happen or not. The early videos got a lot of airplay on Much in Canada. The later ones not so much. Whether their are video plans for the new album remains to be seen and is probably very dependent on whether the band and their management thinks it will help them sell more albums and if the band wishes to express themselves in the almost dead art form known as video. - Chad ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #555 ********************************************
