I also want to request a favor of everyone posting... Due to requirements of my fabulous employment and my hectic social calendar, I am not able to check this group as often as I have in the past. However, when I do have the time, I really enjoy reading the show reviews, the CD commentaries, and the off-topic observations. However, this weekend, as I plowed through hundreds of posts, I must admit there were quite a few that I honestly had no idea what was being discussed. A large percentage of recent posters seem to be several people who apparently live in close proximity to each other, and who have attended numerous shows in the past few weeks. As a result, a lot of inside jokes and/or comments have developed which are lost on the rest of us pathetic souls. I guess I'm just asking for everyone to please remember that not everyone reading this newsgroup lives on the East Coast. Please copy the portion of the post you are responding to, so we can all enjoy the lively banter! Thanks!

My best friend (when I was in high school) went there! slight leap in logic here (but not really) -- Sesame Street is actually filmed in Queens. I went to the Kaufman-Astoria Studios once to see filming of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and in one hallway, saw signs pointing toward where the SS studios were. It was almost enough to make me change direction and go see that instead. :) As for foreign versions -- In one course I took in college about children & electronic media, we discussed in depth the international co-produced editions of Sesame Street, which was really interesting... Spain, for instance, has two versions, one filmed in Spanish and one in Catalan. The cast is identical; being bilingual is a requirement of employment. And the locations vary from country to country, since the urban setting of the U.S. version of Sesame Street doesn't always apply in other places. Canada changed theirs to Sesame Park a few years ago; Norway's production is set in a train station; etc, etc... I think it's cool how careful they are to make the show locally appropriate wherever it's shown. (One guest speaker told us about a Spanish kid who saw Sesame Street on TV when he was in the U.S., and told her he was surprised that we had the show too. He just sort of thought of it as a local production, which, of course, is the entire point.) ... Get the feeling I could talk about this for ages? :) - - jenn ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 15:38:26 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Lyrics: Beware the Killer Tents!

Contact information for Moxy Fruvous is available on FDC at http://www.fruvous.com/contact.html. I'd recommend calling the number there and talking to Jude and arranging something if the Fruvous lads have time. Just walking up and asking may work, but they also may be busy with other obligations as well, so setting up a time with Jude will probably be the best thing for you to do. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 22:48:39 GMT From: scoper@netcom.com (Scott Perschke) Subject: Re: Lyrics: Beware the Killer Tents!

I dunno if I actually reported this to the entire newsgroup, but I am taking over maintenance of the a.m.m-f FAQ from Colleen Campbell. I'm am almost nearly complete with a major FAQ upgrade and will hopefully be posting the new improved FAQ to the newsgroup a week from Monday. I'll also get Chris O to update the one of FDC for me. But first I'd like to get some people willing to proof the FAQ for me. I need proofing for a couple things: - - Grammar/spelling/etc - - Fruvous related content/accuracy - - Tone I'd like maybe 6 or 7 people who can spot me being wrong, me spelling poorly, and me sounding snotty or snooty when I'm writing something when I don't mean to be. If you'd like to take this job and have enough time to get this done between next Wednesday and next Saturday, please email me. I'm out of town on business on Monday and Tuesday, but I'll get the email on Tuesday night, pick 6 or 7 people if I get tons of responses, and send out the FAQ then to people with details of what I'd like done then.

Hate Letter is by far my favorite track on Thornhill, for personal reasons, and because it's just a cool song. I've been wondering how they'd do it live, I'm sure it can be done, I'm just curious about how it will sound. BTW, Last night's set (Pines Festival, Northampton) featured Earthquakes, with banjo and otherwise very simple instrumentation. Very smooth, very much fun. Great tempo. I was psyched. Will post my full review--plus a cogent review of SSS if anybody cares--later. The one thing that sucks about travelling is that it's hard to write reviews until nobody cares about them. - --Amanda You know me, you just don't know you know me Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

As I recall from the transcriber's introduction, this is a transcription of the mainstage version. In the workshop version, Murray mangled some lyrics including calling Stacey Earle "Tracey."
