Many talents left playing the blues, but they hummed a different tune when they realized the Internet's potential to connect with fans and sell their music and merchandise. The Web-savvy independent artists have created pages with slick graphics, fun contests and changing content that keep fans coming back for more. They have developed careers apart from the major labels -- something that would have been difficult to accomplish in the days before the Web. Here are three outstanding independent acts who've gone online: Moxy Fruvous http://www.fruvous.com Budding musicians can read lyrics to the Toronto-based band's songs and even download some tunes to play along with. "Our fans drive our music and our site," says drummer Jian Ghomeshi. "The site's also a way to have exclusivity with our records." Jane Siberry http://www.sheeba.com Fans can "pre-order" Siberry's as-yet unnamed upcoming CD and read Jane's Studio Journal. Says Siberry, "Selling records would not have been possible without the Internet because it has given me direct access to people who are interested in my music." Aimee Mann http://aimeemann.com Buy Mann's Bachelor No. 2 album, which she bought back from her previous label [rather than "scrap parts of it in favor of recording more hit-radio-friendly material"] or the soundtrack to the movie Magnolia, to which she contributed nine songs. Says Mann, "[The Web site] is the most direct way to stay in touch with my fans." ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: 05 Jul 2000 22:29:56 GMT From: spin0za1@aol.commmm (Spin0za1) Subject: OT kinda random: 4th of July & stuff Haddonfield is a small historic township in southern New Jersey. It is where my father grew up. It is where we go every year for the 4th of July parade. Despite being born and raised and currently residing in Brooklyn N.Y. My sister and I are both in the Haddonfield Town Band since our father is one of the founders. Membership in the band extends to members' families... and really anyone else. We practice once a year... that is while we march from the bank to the highschool in front of the entire town. After you play in the band for 15 years you get to almost know the music. This year was my second in the band. Before we were old enough to march with the band my brother and sister and I would decorate our bikes with flags and streamers and ride in the parade. There was a competition for the best decorated bike for each age group. Once my brother won third place but we didn't really care. We decorated our bikes ourselves, we never asked out parents to help except to hold this loose end of crep paper while we taped it down. The point was to have used more crep paper wrapping each other up than decorating the bikes. Who cared how the bikes looked? Who cared how anyone else thought the bikes looked? Come to think of it, I can't remember ever watching the parade. In the evening there used to be fireworks at the highschool. We sat on blankets behind a rope on the grass in the middle of the track. The fireworks were shot up from practically right in front of us. My dad told me later that it had always been a very cheesey display but I always loved it. They've now done away with the fireworks display and have some sort of light show. So this year we came home to Brooklyn relatively early after the parade. My sister and father both had work the next day. In the evening Dad went to his office building in downtown Brooklyn so he could watch the fireworks over the river from the 23rd floor. My sister and I stayed behind to watch the rest of Buffy. We watched the fireworks on NBC for a while... but for me that got old pretty fast. With the cheesey music and the intermittent poetry read by famous people... ugh, it nearly made me sick! I looked out the window and realized that I could see the tops of the fireworks above the apartment buildings through the tree. I turned off the TV in the bedroom and pressed my face against the window. It felt much better that way. It was the biggest fireworks display in the history of New York City. It was all hyped up. It was advertized and promoted and there were musical numbers from broadway shows... I just wanted my little fireworks display like we used to have in Haddonfield. Here's where I make a random association and pretend it has a meaning: The fourth of July has always been special for me. I've never been too terribly patriotic (except sometimes around the Olympics) and lately a lot about this country and its government has been pissing me off... but what really makes me sick is the apathy and complacency I see in the people... the extent to which they don't care about their rights or how the system works. Now please don't respond "well I'M not complacent or apathetic... I know the workings of the government..." I'm talking about people like a friend of mine who once said to me "The constitution was written in the 1950's. Things change." People who think that it's okay that George W. Bush says that "There should be limits to freedom." People who think that if someone says something offensive they should be punished by the government. And there ARE people like that... a lot of them. And not always who you'd expect. Okay, I'm ranting now. What was my point again? The Fourth of July in Haddonfield is a very participatory event. The whole town takes part in the celebration. And while people do sit on the sidewalk and watch the parade, no one is truly on the sidelines. The Haddonfield town band exists because a bunch of guys who went to highschool together wanted to have a town band... so they made one... and the band is and always has been run by the band. We have our "fearful leader" who is the leader because we want him to be. This year for me, 4th of July in Haddonfield felt very representative of what this nation is supposed to be... a bunch of people wanted a free country based not on law but on rights. So they made one... a country run not by some guy but by the people who live there where everyone can get in and get their hands dirty making it work. New York felt like just the opposite... a controlled environment with some small group running it and everyone else standing back watching... the part of what I see in America that makes me so frustrated and sad. I'm not saying I have anything against New York fireworks. Honestly. They were very pretty and I can see the appeal of that sort of spectacular show. These are just random impressions... really more like a freewrite than anything else... these are just the feelings that yesterday stirred up. je touche le requin dans le tourbillon mechanique au l'aquarium immense moment de frisson doux et ridicule - -Mike Ford (hehe) Gella ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2000 19:09:06 EDT From: FruCake1@aol.com Subject: Re: Canada Day Fun & Frolick (warning: little fru-content) CheeseMonkey wrote: << Lisa bills sucks the big one, she needs to find herself a cell phone that works ;) >> My phone works just fine OK?!?!

When I got down to his place, he started talking about the neighborhood's fireworks displays. Every year, the place two houses to the right and one house to the left put up a combined $5,000-$8,000 of fireworks. Not one incident for as long as they've been doing it. One place has a decent-sized party for it, the other has a HUGE gettogether.. Coulda been 500 people there. They made the mistake of setting up their mortar racks early. For the first time ever, the police decided to scan the beaches looking for unlit pyrotechnics. They brought dogs (useless dogs that didn't sniff out my 2.5" Class C tube hidden a few feet away) and threw everything they found into boxes, including $3,000 of fireworks from the place with the huge party. There were hundreds of people down there who had skipped the bigtown shows just to hang out with friends and family--enjoying a safe, albeit amateur, fireworks show. Although they still had fun, a big part of the night was ruined for "safety's sake." It was hilarious watching my friend's brother walking away from the cops with a 2'x4' box of artillery shells. We drove a half-mile to the town line and lit the stuff off there, with no police interference. - -adam ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V4 #286 ********************************************
