Hey. Help me out here. I just downloaded what is supposed to be MF doing a live vover of "Shoehorn WIth Teeth". It doesn't really sound like MF though. Anyone know what's up with this and where it might be from. Its not that bad, but I just don't think its Moxy. Thanks for the help.

It's actually pretty good! :) I believe what you are hearing is Da Vinci's Notebook, covering SWT on their album "Bendy's Law", with Fruvous on backing vocals.

Jeff & i left in search of food and stayed out of Harbourfront until Fruvous came on that band who opened for Fruvous @ Pointe-Claire in 1998... who were they again? i just know that they sucked & their sound guy was drunk off his ass. Guster (for GBS in 1999): ok, this is kinda up in the air. i liked them enough to sign up for their list, but i was turned off by the "fervor" of a certain fan of their's who walked up to me @ Friendship Festival & tried to sell me a CD w/o even introducing herself let alone seeing if i even liked them.

I really believe that Dave is one of the best self-taught musicians around and one of the most inventive songwriters in contemporary music. He's lost his place of honor in my CD collection and my mind, however, by charging ridiculous amounts of money for his tickets and subsequently dumbing-down his live show. Ah well. - --Kate ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 22:27:11 -0500 From: Lori Subject: re: OT sorta: Opening Acts Angie dragged me into this discussion by mentioning for the umpteenth time: > Worst: > those "guys" in Columbus last Fall... yep, them Hillbilly Fag guys...

So after these illustrious dudes end their good ol' 'phobes act, the woman, calmer now but still trembling, confronts them and tells them how horribly offensive she found them. A few others of us nod assent with her opinion. And the one singer has the chutzpah to say "but it's satire! Don't you get it? Like Fruvous does in Michigan Militia!" Uh, no. Not exactly. "And besides, I'm a bisexual myself, so I certainly didn't mean it in a prejudiced way." Like, thanks for sharing, dude, but I don't care HOW you meant it, it WAS offensive. Deal with that. Yeesh, what a night. Oh. Best opener? No one that hasn't already been mentioned ... Dan Bern, Tory Cassis, Susan Werner, caterwauling Nieldses. :) Best workshop-sharers?
