"Splatter Splatter" (on Wednesday). It seems the best time is during the mid-day shift with Rita Houston, and Meg Griffin's afternoon drive-time show. I lean more towards Rita's show for Frü-material, but Meg has a nice show, even though she has a tendency to hit us with 'In my years as a DJ..etc." stuff.

BUT then Thornhill came out. My Poor Generation has spoken to me in such a way that i've decided to use this song for a quote instead... the only problem now is that i just can NOT narrow it down to just two or three lines. i talked to our senior editor to see if it was possible to like, buy half a page for it, and she said i should buy a page in the advertisement section. she also said that the price is about $50 or so. i know that this is definately worth it to be able have the entire song printed... so here are my two questions: 1: is it really truly 5000% worth it? even though i've got a job but i'm always broke... and i want a car really badly... 2: how should i credit it? David Matheson as performed by Moxy Früvous? something else? the only other possibility to find the correct answer is to e-mail Jude and ask her. any suggestions at all are *greatly* appreciated! send me a frümessage (sleepy) or drop me an e-mail sleepy@fruhead.com thanks bunches!!

Well, I refer you to the FAQ (http://www.fruvous.com/news/faq.html) on this one, but I'll also paraphrase: Though some songs are obviously the brainchild of certain band members, the band maintains that because they all contribute to bringing a song to fruition, they all get writing credit. My rule of thumb is to credit songs as they are credited on the album - in Früvous' case, that means that the whole band gets credit. ~~Kate - -- Kate Leahy kleahy@loyola.edu katiewow@fruhead.com *********************************** "It's a long long road It's a big big world We are wise wise women We are giggling girls . . .

If I get to the Nov. 20 show and I'm not wearing my all-hallowed traditional concert-going Sam-I-Am Tshirt, I'll probably be wearing a shirt one of my friends made me that says, "Everyone has a GOOVIE[1] time with Lazlo: Do What He'd Do To Be HAPPY!" It has a picture of our made-up Lazlo, who's a goofy middle-aged guy with weird pants. I know that Lazlo is a real person, and that he'd probably never wear these pants (you have to see them -- they actually exist), but we figured that as long as we're substituting "goovie" for "groovy," we can also create our own goovie guy. So hopefully, Lazlo, his weird pants, and I will meet some of you then. Carey [1] This is where my irc nickname comes from.
