That's right...tomorrow's the day we fight back. Well, er, no...tomorrow's the day we storm the record stores (why do we still call them that? they don't sell records anymore except for expensive british imports, but that's another story). It seemed like it would never come, but here it is. We finally get to hear the album that the world (well, the US, close enough) has been talking about. What is my point? No point. Just wanted to remind all Canadians to go out tomorrow and buy your brand new copy of Thornhill! And if you can't find it, ask about it!

I was thinking that I would do it on the FRFF and headline Moxy Fruvous, using all the photos that I took of them. I wanted to put it to the "Killer Tent" song since it's about the festival. I think it could be a really cool presentation if I can get a copy of the song. I will be giving credit to everything and it's just for a school project so if anybody knows of where I could get a copy of it I would be so appreciative. I don't know if anyone bootlegged that show I doubt it since I haven't heard about it. However I did while I was photographing the band see a tape recorder thing on the fence...so maybe someone does have it on tape. I don't know if it is going to be on the FRFF CD either, I mean it should...And when is that going to come out does anybody know? Well any feed back on this topic would be great. Even ideas of where I might find a copy of that song would help me at this point.

(long) Mindy (fruchild) wrote: >Many things said on this news group have hurt me on a personal level, >but nothing like what has been said about Jian. This message touched me, especially since Mindy seems to be in a lot of pain. But perhaps a bit of perspective might help. And this is all just opinion. I actually know the band members not at all; I'm just a fan. The members of Moxy Fruvous seem to bring out a protective streak in some of us. It happened to me at the Rochester In Store. During the intro, the Store Guy, asked the crowd, "Don't you think this is the BEST Moxy Fruvous CD?" The response was underwhelming. For myself, I couldn't say it was the best as I hadn't heard and digested it. Also, asking me to state publicly which is my favorite Fruvous album is like asking me to state publicly which of my children I love best. I wasn't willing to do it. But I felt pretty awful about the lack of response knowing the lads were just offstage listening. The funny thing is, when they did come on stage, they made a joke about it. Something like "Hey isn't this great, we've already got this controversy over the new C! ! D." That diffused the discomfort for me and made me realize that they don't seem to take such things too personally. They have some perspective on their fame and/or their rise to it. And it just made me able to relax. My guess, from comments I've gleaned, is that Jian has the same perspective about the ng--otherwise how could he stand to read it? >[Jian] is using the song as some sort of catharsis and begins to >cry. I was almost glad that my frutripping season was over because it >literally pained me to turn my eyes towards the stage. I know nothing about Jian's pain. But I do know that he can sure sell a song. Again, in Rochester, at Milestones, when the band came on stage, Jian was VERY quiet and subdued. I'd never seen him like that at the beginning of a show. Then the band went into "Downsizing," and I realized that he was simply getting into character or into the mood of the song. Many of the Fruvous songs are stories, and the lads actually get into character when it's appropriate. They are awesome performers and entertainers! I'm sure that Jian, and Mike, and Murray, and Dave, do actually bring their emotions into their songs. But I think they are trying to move the audience to tears, or laughter, or reflection, like any good actor/singer/preacher does. And they do a damn good job of it. >All I know is that Jian has been kind to me >during hard times and he deserves the same respect from us. Jian is a really, really nice person; all the lads deserve respect on many levels and for the most part I think they get it from this group. But sometimes, I guess, the intended humor may seem like a barb. >I hope no one is offended. I love you all dearly and have enjoyed my ti>me with you. I may be back in a few months... who knows. Your message was honest and sweet. I admire you for the courage to write it.

When I called HMV last week to ask about Thornhill and another album coming out the same day (Mock Tudor by Richard Thompson, sounds excellent from what I've heard of it), they responded quite enthusiastically, at least about Thornhill ("Oh, the Fruvous we'll have for sure..."). Hopefully that means they'll have lots of copies, prominently displayed. If all goes well, we'll have the "Stunt phenomenon": Band from Canada releases indie tape, goes gold; first album goes platinum or better; second album fails to keep momentum domestically, band turns more attention to touring Stateside; momentum builds with release of third studio album, and live album; fourth album becomes breakthrough hit throughout North America, fans catch up on older releases and wonder what they were missing.

I don't have time to do a full review here but I'm amazed at how much the album is growing on me. Bargainville is a lot more fun to listen to, but Thornhill musically is so much more mature, so much better put together. Some of the songs that didn't do anything for me on the first or second listen are quickly becoming favorites. I agree with AJ that Splatter, Splatter would have been a brilliant single. I could hear that on any radio station. It's a great song on every level and so, well, Fruvous! (I like IWHO, but it's no mainstream single by any means.) And Independence Day has gone from a song that didn't do anything for me when I heard it live to one that I am enjoying listening to over and over again. >~\o Genivieve I do believe I >can't go on this way ~ -- yep, Murray's vocals on that line and in the whole song are so rich and compelling. Sure, there are a couple of songs that don't really work for me, but Fruvous impresses me once again with their versatility and energy. I'm looking forward to the next CD and many more concerts.

Dunno, Doug, I feel pretty much the same way. That is, I am not wild about Thornhill but I am confident that it will grow on me in the same way that Wood did. It took me a LONG time to like Wood. It took me months. So I await, patiently, and in the meantime I am withholding judgment.

DAY 0/PROLOGUE -- AUGUST 22, 1999 1. Go to work for the last time. Tell random people to fuck off. Grin profusely. 2. Have a goodbye party. Make sure crazy grandmother is present to give you an old rusted jackknife for protection against those bad, bad Toronto people. 3. Gesture enthusiastically while holding cake (bad idea, by the way), pointing out to your friend's father that he looks like Jeff Lebowski. 4. Go out on back porch. Watch aurora borealis. 5. Go "oooh". 6. Go "aaah". 7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 as needed. 8. Go back inside teepee. Drop by #moxyfruvous. Confuse silly Americans with the strange Canadian notion of northern lights. No, dammit, we're no going to Albany in December! 9. Help yourself to some tasty lager. Pop "Eddie and the Cruisers II -- Eddie Lives!!! (Damn Him)" in VCR. Watch. Reluctantly. 10. Fast forward. 11. Fast forward some more. Do NOT let *any* Eddie song slip through. Just... don't. 12. Cue it up to Stewart's one line. Laugh at the over-acting. Repeat that one line over and over in a sad mixture of admiration and mockery. Mostly mockery. 13. Notice Dave's sorry excuse for a stand-in, trying to bop. Shake your head and go "Tsk. No one bops like Dave, silly." 14. Go to bed satisfied. Somehow. Get up again to watch bigger and brighter northern lights. Repeat Step 7. 15. You have to get up in four hours. Screw the northern lights. Go to bed already. DAY TWO -- AUGUST 23, 1999 1. Get up at 4:30am. You fell asleep 8 minutes ago. 2. Barely remember how you get to a downtown Ottawa Petro-Canada gas station. Notice low price of gas (59.3). Wonder how a total stranger named Vladimir is going to take you to Toronto. God bless car-pool services. 3. Observe as two guys mill around next to you, presumably waiting for the same ride. Hope the car is indeed large. 4. At 6:00am, watch as a tiny tiny green vehicle pulls up next to you. Enter Vladimir. 5. Begin carrying a serious grudge against car rental companies, who gave Vlad here said vehicle instead of the promised minivan. 6. Cram five strangers into itty-bitty sporty convertible two-door coupe. Say hello to Abdul and Ryad. Feels like you're off signing a treaty of some kind. 7. Speed. You want to get to the Megacity NOW. You'll settle for 3 hours of road. 8. While speeding (160 km/h) on the 401, get a flat. A very *flat* flat. 9. Observe sparks. 10. Observe smoke. 11. Shriek, "PULL THE HELL OVER YOU CRAZED BAREFOOT RUSSIAN YOU!!!" 12. Somehow end up in meridian ditch. Get out. Tremble nervously as 18-wheelers whizz by your head on both sides. 13. Realize that you have to cross the 401. On foot. 14. Realize that you DON'T want to cross the 401. On foot. 15. Cross the 401. On foot. (Talk about jaywalking!) 16. Wonder if there is a god. And if there is, what kind of sick freak is he??? 17. Get help from friendly construction worker. Then walk along 401 (still on foot) to reach nearest truck stop. Eat at Tim Horton's. Be rude. "So it's 9:30am -- BITE ME. I'm glad to be alive!! Now I want a bagel! Get it now, bitch!" 18. Go back. Fervently hope that car hasn't been blown to smithereens by oncoming traffic. 19. Contemplate 401 again. Make peace with Maker. 20. Repeat Step 15. You don't EVER want to see the 401 again. Not even from a plane. 21. Make mental note to stay in Toronto once you move there. 22. Get back in car. Put on seatbelts. Nice and *tight*. Hesitantly merge with traffic again, on a new tire (and the three others). 23. Exhale. 24. Bond with the guy whose ribcage you've been crushing for the last two hours. 25. Remember you're in a convertible. Take the roof down. Enjoy the rest of the ride. Woohoo. 26. Finally stop on Bloor St. Get out. Notice tall ditch grass stuck in car door. Try to find the humour in this. 27. Decide to write all of this down. *END OF PART I* Part II coming. Stay tuned. ~MC & Kath ------------------------------ Date: 24 Aug 1999 01:41:43 GMT From: amychic2@aol.com (Amychic2) Subject: Re: The return of SnarkiFru ANGIE! hey girlie, how did your fencing tournament go? ~*Amy*~ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:47:13 -0700 From: cookie Subject: Re: NYE and NYD Hell Hotel wrote: > > I don't know about the rest of you, but times square is the LAST place I > want to be on this NYE.

(same with me reading a book) but what i remember of wood does seem to be in some ways like thornhill, but by the same token, nothing of fruvous' ever seems the same as anything else fruvous to me. even when they do the same song on a different album it can sound so different, like video bargainville on bargainville and then the live noise version. its almost like its a completely different song. thornhill wasnt quite what i was expecting. but then again, i should know by now not to have preconceptions of what fruvous is gonna do next, shouldnt i? :) okay...those are my only thoughts for now. im sure ill add more when ive listened to it a few more times. :) - -----------> Ln, going to listen to thornhill again ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #737 ********************************************
