No problem...I'm more of a band nerd than chorus freak, but it's all good-- i *heart* music. In the vocal music department, I especially love a capella- in any shape or form, normally! And I'm obsessed with my flute (whoops, there goes the "O-word" again- my 3 obsessions in life: The X-Files, my flute, and Moxy Fruvous, of course ). Well, let's have a look-see... nope, it's not the version you did. It's arranged by a Mr. Sam Pottle, and in SATB- as far as I can see, it's never in unison (rather the opposite), and involves odd sound effects and the smaller percussion insturments, although i don't know if they'll be incorporated into our performance. We covered the first page or two at our last rehearsal, and I recall that it was very 'cheery' sounding (for lack of a better musical term... they were major chords would be one way to put it, I guess...)... i suppose it sounds exactly the way it's supposed to, since the poem is considered to be "the ultimate satire of heroic narrative poetry"... anyway, enough babbling for today- sorry if i've bored anyone out in ammf-land! ~truztno1 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 02:26:42 GMT From: Lisa Carpenter Subject: unhappy =?iso-8859-1?Q?Fr=FC?= moments i have to say i'm rather envious of everyone else's happy Frü moments. the only Frü moments i seem to have are relatively unhappy ;( WARNING: this is kinda, well very, long. continue at your own expense. example1) a few weeks ago mom and i went shopping after i got out of class. we only had a few hours before i had to work, so we went to a smallish mall. we were walking past riki's and i saw this bright orange, long-sleeved t-shirt and immediatley fell in love. problem was i had put myself on a strict budget since i was back to part time hours at work, and the shirt was $30 plus taxes(13% in my province). mom saw me looking at it and said to buy it. "at 30 bucks!?!" quoth i, " maybe if i was still getting christmas hours, but not now. i still need to save up tuition for next year." so fine, that was that, but i mourned my shirt the whole night. the next morning mom was getting ready to go into town, and drop me of at work. we were in her room, i was bored and started play pouting about the shirt again just to be a dweeb. my mom looked at me and said, "if it was some of your Moxy shit you'd have bought it as soon as you saw it!" i looked at her, rolled my eyes and said "yeah, right! my entire order from them only came to $35 including s&h!" "maybe it did, but if that shirt said Moxy Früvous on it you'd have it by now!" then she proceded to laugh at me like i was an idiot for liking Früvous. i refrained from trying to convince her otherwise b/c i've tried in the past, and found out that it just doesn't work. then i went out and bought the shirt =) example 2) last wednesday mom had to take me into the emergency room b/c the night before i tripped on one of our cats, fell down the stairs and landed on my elbow on the concrete floor in the basement.( the cat's fine, just a little pissed at me.)what we didn't know was that my grampa, her dad, had spent the night in emergency b/c his chest hurt. (don't worry, it wasn't a heart attack! we finally found out that he has athsma. he's fine now.) i was sitting in the space right next to grampa, and grammy was there so she came over to sit with me and mom. a few minutes later a really nice, and nice looking, x-ray tech took me to get my boo-boo x-rayed. when i got back mom made the comment that i should go into medicine b/c the tech was cute.( my major is anthropology and archeology) i made a joke of saying i prefered musicans.BIG MISTAKE!! "well, they're better than that irannian," said mom. "who? Jian?" i ask, kinda confused. "that one you were in love with after the concert, yeah." now, i must admit that after the concert, which was back in sept, i did swoon for a few days over everyone's favorite drummer, but only b/c he signed my pilfered poster "lovely lisa". no one had EVER called me lovely before, or since, and the fact that it was sincerely meant.... well it put me on cloud nine for a few days.[1] i won't go into specifics, but just about every piece of bullshit propoganda about middle eastern people that mom and grammy had ever heard was thrown in my face. i tried to fight back but A)i don't know enough facts about these people and their various religions and cultures to defend them and B) even if i did, they would've been tossed aside as the notions of a silly girl.[2] i found it compltetly incredulous that these two women who had taught me tollerance, understanding, and compassion were such copmlete hypocrites!! they regurgitated rhetoric as if it were gospel, condeming someone they had never met b/c of his heritage!! they quit after i stopped responding, (the 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything' addage. i was ready to take a strip off each of them. >grrr<), but i don't think i'll ever be able to look at either of them in the same light again. >sigh< sheesh! that was long! all i can say is i hope everyone elses Frü moments are much happier than mine seem to be. [1] and, btw Sir lurks-a-lot, who said you were allowed to be such a sweetheart to me? there are only a handful of people in my life that fit that description, and even they have never called me lovely. what gives? >smirk< [3] [2] i'm 21.still young, but old enough to know a few things the old folks don't, right? prarieFrü ******************** and these were our words our words were our songs these songs are our prayers these prayers keep me strong and i still believe..... ******************** [3] joking, joking! just b/c my relatives are jaded, doesn't mean that i am! >grin< i believe i still owe you a hug for that, too. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 04:09:21 GMT From: LilacGirl1002@aol.com Subject: Could it be...

I was hoping to get a good copy. I taped it on analog tapes and managed to cut 5 seconds out of one song (though i can't seem to remember which one. Dave actually asked me not to trade this show out for awhile because they had played so many new songs, but I'd imagine it's okay now that the new album has been out so long. anyway, it's a hell of a process for me to put this on disc (which i know isn't good to do anyway, but i want to have it in digital format so it won't rot away...) and i don't want to have to do it if someone already has it from a DAT or minidisc. hoping someone already has it.... chris ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V4 #89 *******************************************
