We have a new message board for frucon, which can be found here: http://www.frucon.org/forum/ And it's nifty. And you don't have to talk about Frucon if you don't want to. But it would be nice :) Love, Kath ------------------------------ Date: 6 Mar 2002 14:39:57 -0800 From: darlene88@yahoo.com (Jen Meyers) Subject: Re: Play with Jian on Thursday Hi all, i have here the short article featuring Play's debut from the Globe and Mail's Television guide: >Play Newsworld, 11pm Less lofty, not so highbrow, with more pop culture and steet level entertainment. That's the direction Newsworld's new live arts show is taking: deliberately veering away from the high falutin' and fusty image that may have surrounded On The Arts. New host Jian Ghomeshi, moonlighting from his other job as lead singer/songwriter of Moxy Fruvous has nailed >Play's new mantra, but will the audience? Ghomeshi is a breath of fresh air and can be funny, but in a rough tape sent for review he displayed an odd habit: during an interview he'd turn and mug for the camera. I'm all for lightening up things at the CBC, but this is just irritating, not to mention rude. Overall, he seems a good choice to lure the under-40 set to Newsworld. New contributors, including Haydain Neale and Michelle Cree (who used to host TVGuide Television) are also meant to funk things up. Jen's comments: - -arghh, again with the lead singer/songwriter deal. Does anyone really see Jian as such? - -I'm not surprised a bit by Catherine's mention of his mugging, nor do i disagree with her view of it. For non-Ghomeshi fans, this would be especially annoying (and to some fans, i imagine even more so ;). We'll see how the debut goes! - -jen meyers ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Mar 2002 19:23:35 -0500 From: lori martin Subject: Re: Play with Jian on Thursday Jen Meyers wrote: > -arghh, again with the lead singer/songwriter deal.

It's a good thing CBC isn't stroking the man's ego or anything. MC ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V6 #55 *******************************************
