Oh hell, isnt that annoying? it was the same in my school (and i probably speak for many of the high schoolers on here... even tho im not a highschooler anymore...). Some people identified me as the chick who loves that stupid fruvous band. Once we had to pick a video to present in my English Media class and i did a fruvous video (down from above and KoS to be exact) (Media class was a joke- all we did was watch movies and stuff... This particular project was to pick a video and play it and talk about it, as well as the band... it was like a party for a week). Some people were genuinely interested...like this one girl who went to my old elementary school and remembered that i loved them then... she was asking questions and was all surprised that i still followed them. But the majority of the class was sitting there bored, not paying attention and were itching for the next person to present their hipper, more cooler video. I swear i saw more backstreet boys and spice girls that week than you could shake a well developed ab or a girl power-ed stick at. GRRR. And one chickie even muttered "this video blows." GRRRR!! Sure, i realize there are people that dont care for fruvous and that is their prerogative, but i wanted to smack her upside her bleached blonde-haired, pink-lipsticked face right then I'm serious, this girl looks like a muppet. but i digress... But what really got me was what happened one day about two years ago. Me and my then-best friend (whom i had converted into a fruhead, with no effort :) stayed after school one day for the gourmet cooking club (my kind of club... you make cool food and then eat it! :) when suddenly from the loudspeaker all over the school came the glorious sounds of fruvous. me and teresa were like ??????? followed by !!!!!!! followed by the thundering sound thru the halls as we went nuts and ran down to the radio station, to see who was there and why they were playing our fav band in the world (pretty much no one in the school knew who they were or liked them). To our delight they were playing the whole bargainville cd, from beginning to end :) back in the kitchen we were cooking and dancing up a storm and singing along to one of our fav cds, when someone said something to cloud my mood. This girl who was sewing something at a table beside us looked at us as if we had three heads and incredulously asked "how the hell do you KNOW this stuff???" as tho it was COMPLETELY unfathomable that anyone could know this music or like it. ARGHHH that really bothered me, and still does. I mean, i get that now too, and it has never ceased to really bother me!!! anyway, sorry to go on and on, i just wanted to indentify with the whole "only the top 20" mentality crap that seems to exist in every highschool. carry on... - -jen the rambler (o/~ you got to know when to hold 'em... know when to fold 'em... o/~) === ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Behold the power of cheese" - -American Dairy Association's slogan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

More by way of an early, partial review: (Apologies first: My head is spinning; I am a toasty, burnt crisp of a body; now that I'm hydrated, all fluid is being vesseled to my nose where an unknown Berkshires-related allergy is getting its last kicks; my mind is still kinda wanting to think and be productive, but my body has lost the capacity to support it. I'm a big wreck. Also, I haven't had the time to read reviews lately, so things that are new to me may be annoyingly old hat to y'all. Oh, and I'm basically talking about the main stage show Sunday afternoon. Can't speak to the late Sunday show.) The "Killer Tent Song", for want of a better name, was played as the encore of their main stage set on Sunday afternoon. Since they named almost all of the performers, there's really no way that they could sing the song with those verses ever again. If next month's "Live at Falconridge" CD (for want of a better name) does well and they press a second one, I suspect that the Killer Tent Song will be on it. Quite a lot of references to different artists' songs (I liked Ani's and The Nields' references), and a lot of clever puns (The Kennedys' and Utah Phillips')-- rather than botch the couplets completely, I'll let someone with a good memorex^H^Hy list 'em. Also during the main set, there was a Falconridge-specific version of "Minnie the Moocher". A bizarre (rhyming!) bit about this campsite declaring its independence and naming itself after the tri-state area, The People's Republic of Massayorkecticut; big jabs at Wood$tock; more heat-stroke and downpour references (the storm "separated the true hippies from the posers, no jokin' / the hippies went inside to keep their ganja from soakin'"). As an idiot who stood out in the rain, I leapt at the chance to cheer after the third line of the verse-- damn that bait-and-switch. It was nice to hear a lot of new, clever verses, though; I think this is the first time since its inception that I haven't heard the Chelsea Clinton verse. "Splatter, Splatter" was followed by "Video Bargainville" to keep the movie theme going. I don't read other reviews carefully enough to know if anyone had ever heard a disco version of "VB" before, but, damn, that was surprising and confusing. I liked it quite a bit. Related, I was surprised by the fact that their set didn't seem more, well, folk-y, considering the folk-y nature of the folk festival. A lot of songs off the upcoming album were played, none of them all that down-home folk-like. I didn't think I'd be hearing disco at Falconridge. I also hadn't seen the new shirts before, the ones sporting the new logo. ("MF" surrounded by a circle, part of which is broken so that a bit of the arc looks like an umlaut-- available now on T-shirts, tiny tanks, buttons, and rain hats.) Hot damn! there was a lot of money being passed around the merch table. Is this because a lot of FruHeads went to Falconridge and this was their first stab at the new threads, or were there really that many newbies?

At a Falcon Ridge Workshop on Non-mushy love songs the lads went of on a tangent bizarre even for them. Jian started commenting that the tents on the top of the ridge were moving down into field where the main stage was. After rambling about this for several minutes they sang their love song, a story of how the tents attack and eat all the performers at the fest. They included every performer who they could think of a rhyme or a clever pun for. It had everyone laughing in the aisles. They repeated it on the main stage Sunday to an equally responsive audiance. Unfortunately they will probably never perform it again. If they Falcon Ridge people have any sense it will appear on the upcoming "Live from the Falcon Ridge" Cd. I'm too tired to write more now but the Fest was a blast. For all the denisons of Camp Lisa Steve, we'll have to to it again next year.

Their "Rolling in the Aisles" workshop was fantastic!! Jian mentioned at their afternoon (1:00pm) performance how they were "ansy" to play more than 2 songs (since they had been there 2 days and only played 2 songs for Saturday's workshop) so they gave us a show to remember!! THEY GOT THE WHOLE CROWD UP TO DANCE towards the end of their show!!! It was the start of a great day!! The one thing that really stood out in my mind was how, after signing autographs (2:30- ?) for over an hour, they were able to perform at the workshop (5:15pm) as if it was their first performance of the day. No matter how tired or "hot" they were, they found the energy to entertain us and give us what we were there to see!! Man, I thought I had energy!! haha = ) They really are an amazing group of guys!!
