Dang. I guess I'm in the minority here. If I had a record out, I'd be over the moon about it being stocked in Wal-Mart! Am I wrong here? Aren't CDs a commodity to be bought and sold? Don't musicians write music to be heard? Although Wal-Mart arguably may be an evil capitalist carnivorous empire, doesn't it also provide lovely one-stop quality shopping at discount prices for the busy working mom? I guess what I'm poorly trying to say is the world ain't perfect or fair, and it never will be. After all, isn't the music what it's all about? Don't musicians want as many people to hear their music as possible? Marketing is just a means to that end--and Wal-Mart has a SERIOUSLY big end. Let's get some perspective here. There are literally thousands of bands who are struggling to get even an independent record deal. Wouldn't we be just a little cocky in flipping the bird to the major retail establishments at this point in the game? I, personally, am glad that Moxy has put aside whatever moral issues they have with capitalistic bureaucracies in favor of retaining their position with the record label and the merchandisers. It will only benefit them in the long run. Unless, of course, they only want to be the weekend band at their local tavern. Seeings how I live in LA, I certainly don't want that, and I'm glad to see they don't either. They deserve as much success as possible, and as all successful ventures require, there is a certain amount of compromise necessary to achieve that goal. I'm glad to see they're not biting off their nose to spite their face.

They're going to need those fans to see them through projects like Thornhill, their sixth album and first for True North. Some people hate this band because they're cute, others for their novelty songs and still others just find them inherently annoying. The real problem is that, despite their musical talent and work ethic, Früvous' recordings are extremely dull, and they don't appear to be getting better with age. Their new material can't even inspire love/hate reactions, with the exception of "Downsizing," where the blandness is grating. Like its namesake town, Thornhill is almost offensive in its inoffensiveness -- which, on second thought, will probably make it a big hit.
