Yes. "What You Wish For" is so good I wake up crying at night for lack of musical talent. Every song on that disc rocks the house, though. Other favorites are "Barrel," "All the Way Up to Heaven," and the new single, "Fa Fa."

RedHairBr asked: >What song (or songs) would >you recommend to someone who's never heard what Guster sounds >like as the ideal ones to start them out on? Well, their current single is 'Barrel of a Gun' which is a pretty cool song. Its where I started. In addition to playing the more traditional intruments, they also play a typewriter!!! Also, off of _lost and gone forever_ are 'Center of Attention' and 'Happier' which I like alot. Oh well, just my opinion. I'm sure there are plenty of others.

Quick question to throw out at you: What song (or songs) would you recommend to someone who's never heard what Guster sounds like as the ideal ones to start them out on? My first taste of Früvous was "Michigan Militia" and "King of Spain"...I got hooked. BNL? "Brian Wilson" and "If I Had $1000000". Hooked. Great Big Sea? "Donkey Riding" and "Mari- Mac"...hooked there, too. I'd like to give Guster a try, but I'd like to give them the best shot I can before I say "yea" or "nay".

Just an update on FHDC. Once again, the web hoster bailed on me and left me unable to access the files. Luckily, the backup was way more recent this time (I think a day got lost) and all e-mail aliases will be preserved. I've found a new provider that seems a lot more stable than the previous ones, but I still want to find a better long-term solution. What I need is either a dedicated server or space on a faster server with very few other web sites. A spot for colocation would also be great. Does anyone have any connections where I could get this at a reasonable price (pref. under $50 a month, but more would be ok)? I'd be forever in debt to anyone who could find such a beast. FHDC will be back up as soon as I get some things set up on the new server, which should be tomorrow if all goes well. *** If anyone needs to contact me, please do so at joshw@yahoo-inc.com *** Thanks :-) - --- Josh Woodward Technical Yahoo - Yahoo!

They had a tour bus and lighting crew and sound crew instead of just a couple (talented) people. They had labels fighting over signing them. http://www.cgocable.net/~rockit/blastpst/moxyfruv/ is realaudio of a concert from that time. Note the screaming fans *grin* They also have gone to Europe a couple of times. Around Wood, it was a small tour mostly in England and Scotland I think, centered around a big festival. But I don't know anything more about it.

The rumor has it that an egg can be made to balance on end during the vernal equinox. What does it mean? What cosmic forces have lined up to produce this remarkable phenomenon? The answer is none. If you are patient and steady handed, you can make an egg stand on end anytime. A surface with some grit makes it easier--the trick is usually demonstrated on a sidewalk or in bars, after putting a pinch of salt on the countertop. Give the egg a good, hard shake first--it helps.

First I find out that there's gonna be a concert in nearby NYC. happy birthday to me! (now i just have to hope that my dear papa doesn't have too much of a problem with it being on the 3rd night of passover.) I have also made two knew fruheads! One is my friend dave who somehow has escaped my fru-rambling until now (we've been out of touch for a year). I mentioned the above referenced upcoming show and he said the usual "who?" So the next day he has my copy of the live album in his jacket pocket. after 4 days...well, i'm not sure how i'm *ever* going to get this CD back. grrrrr. The second one is an english teacher at my school. Understand, I'm an english dept. groupie. Any free time of mine is spent in either my english classroom (my teacher has become not only my teacher but a very close friend and unofficial mentor) or in the rooms of a few other teachers I've gotten to know. My teacher just had an opperation, so he's out for a few weeks, and I was talking to another teacher about sending him cards and such, I sat down in his class and we were just talking about all sorts of stuff. Somehow (I can't emagine how!), I mentioned fruvous. I tried to describe. He was interested. I whipped out a copy of 'B' and played "greatest man in america." He was duelly impressed and borrowed the album for the weekend. ( I played MBLABOA for him too, of course). YAY! And in an hour or so I get to meet my first fruhead that i know only throgh fruheadness not at a concert. <~~not an english sentance yay.

The camera men from nickelodeon were at my school filming this documentary type thing where a kid who goes on my bus gets to trade places with the elementary school prinicpal. So, while the kid gets to play principal for a day, Mr. Prenderville (who was once my 1st grade teacher 10 years ago) had the distinct privelidge of playing an 8th grader for a day. He had to go to all these 8th grade classes with block scheduling and imagine my surprise when I find out about this midday when somebody told me I walked right past the cameras on my way to senior health class. I didn't believe them until I was getting my lunch (chicken patty day, yummy :P and go to sit down. I get out of the serving area and there's a camera crew right in front of where I wanted to go........I freaked. Then the camera crew comes in and sits down at the table to our far right to tape this guy at lunch. It was horrible to see the stupid people who wanted to get on tv. They say it'll air sometime late april, when we're on spring break, I might be on there for about 10 seconds as they pan out to see the cafeteria and later when my friend anthony and I were at our lockers trying to avoid camera attention. But, that's my day of fun with the boys of Nickelodeon, just thought i might share that in memory of the past nickelodeon spawned conversations. later people :) *Sally* Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V4 #159 ********************************************
