Which in one way makes the station happy, as they can process your donation instantly instead of waiting for you to send (or reconsider and not send) a check. HOWEVER: If you are a committed member, you may wish to consider the fact that the credit card company will take a percentage of your donation as a fee. True, it's only 3% for Visa, a little higher for American Express -- BUT why would you want this money to go to the card-issuer instead of WXPN? Send a check. Or send several checks, if you find installments easier. It's a little more money for WXPN at no extra cost to you. :) (The same goes for donations to any organization -- or, for that matter, for purchases from any small entrepreneur you have a real interest in keeping in business. Those nickel-and-dime fees can REALLY take a bite out of cashflow.) >Or you could just volunteer.

In fact, they played it twice on Monday and announced (correctly) that it will be in stores next Tuesday. What a shock it was hearing new Fruvous even before its release. This is the first time I've heard this version of "I Will Hold On. " Like many of you, I was used to the backing vocals and miss them, but I really like the new feel to the song.

Your Age: 24 Your Sex: Female Country: USA Province/State: NY Funniest Thing You've seen/heard/experienced at fruShow: The 10/30/98 show at the Iron Horse with the tale of BJ and Rachel was probably the funniest thing ever. I think my favorite part had to be Murray introducing "Psychokiller" (transcription off FDC): [Sad and in a funk, BJ wandered down to the river and spotted a shack. Inside, he was greeted by a woman. BJ got the impression she cut her own hair and she was flicking matches all over the room. "Seven" she says. "What?" "Seven. I prefer it to hello. It breaks the ice." "Oh Seven" "Match?" "No thank you". "I was like you once. Career. Husband. Career. I had it all" she said lobbing a match onto the couch. "What happened" said BJ. "I acquired a taste for human brains. A rare condition, but not as rare as you think. It doesn't get much press". "That's understandable" said BJ. "Things fell apart after that. The postman. My boss. My husband. I was just getting into different recipes: Curries, tempura. I had just discovered a great recipe for Brain Au Jous." Just then the shack burst into flames and the rest of her speech was lost in the roar.] yeah, that rocked. Best Meaning of "Moxy Fruvous" you've heard, or can think of: This description from www.canoe.ca/JamMusicPopEncycloPagesM/ struck me as pretty wacky. For all we know...it's the truth. "Four-part a cappella/instrumental act from Toronto who met on an unlikely school trip that featured, among other things a hog-calling contest in Flesherton, Ontario. After splitting the prize for winning 'Most Promising Pig-Caller' the members met for the first time on the winners podium -- the winning pigs were named 'Moxy' and 'Fruvous'.
