somewhat nostalgic as they have not been particulary prolific lately (this tour promotes a new album of covers, one of the previous tours promoted a live album). Had they been writing &riously though, there is little chance that the new material would consist of anything entirely different from what they’ve done before as the Ramones have been a band that are self-conscious of not changing. Their philosophy has been that if you are doing a good thing, why stop? And the shows are still good. You can go to one of their concerts and expect to hear old favourites like ‘Beat on the Brat’, ‘Sheena is a Punk Rocker’ or ‘Pinhead’ and appreciate it without having to give them a 20 year handicap. With a one, two, three, four,
ably never seen the likes of this since, well, the last Ramones show there. Actually, Lulu’s should have more shows of this kind there as the bouncers could learn how to deal with the crowd a little better. There’s no need to shove people, who come up on stage only to jump off again by themselves, back into the crowd. There was barely any banter between songs nor was there any time wasted. At times I’d dread the cry of 1, 2, 3, 4 which started another two minutes of relentless and tiring slamming. For the most part though, it was fun as long you avoided the oncoming bodies from the stage. And if you did happen to fall to the ground, there was always someone to help you up. I’m sure I’ll continue to see the band as will many others pro-

I
remember watching the movie “Rock and Roll High School” many years ago and recalling how one part of the movie took place at a Ramones concert. It seemed really exciting and was something that I really wanted to do. They never did come around much in that day, but I figured that the day they did would be a rare and special occasion to see these progenitors of punk.

in the bubble presence, and while it may sound trifling, if you were there then you’ll know that lead singer Paul Jargo’s CONSTANT, INCESSANT, FOREVER AND BLOODY EVER tendancy to rock back and forth while singing frankly drove one nuts. He looked like the
ineteen ninety-four will be remembered, I \ among other things, as one of the greatest years for Canadian music. Want proof? O.K., how about the new Sloan and Rheostat& albums? Or the Rose Chronicles, or Jale, Tristan Psionic, Anyhowtown. Oh yes, and don’t forget that, “First Day of Spring” song right? Put simply, this band blew. A sold-out bar and a hyped crowd couldn’t save this glaring fact. They took the stage and played through a set of new and old material alike, all of which showed one glaring problem -- they don’t have any songs. To be fair, one must give them credit for at least trying some experimental freakery, such as the circus-like noodlings of “Circus Song” or the off-kilter>. - With my hmnotic mwers vou will w WC beats of many others, which enjoytheshowancitellall;ourfiends. at best were passable, at Rainman on speed.

Then there was to hypnotize us or something? the cod-reggae-ska that sounded That 6ombined with bassist Eric really bad, and overtop of it all were unintelligable lyrics that Howden’s habit of bouncing up and down to all the most inapprodidn’t deserve to be heard anypriate songrpade more than one way. Then there’s the band’s stage person simply want to stop watchL
( &
ing before they got sick. Overall, any song that may have sounded passable was so overshadowed by trash that you forgot about it anyway. The second last song showed a warped love for MEN, which perked things up a bit, as did the last track, which at last showed that, yeah, this is indeed the band that wrote that big MuchMusic hit. And what of that song ? Well, they did the seemingly impossible thing of taking that wonderfully edgy, everythingyou-never-thought-a-popsingle-could-be song, and making even it dull. That was when people started walking out. In droves. Oh, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.. .the encore consisted of a Motley Crue tune, followed by an equally atrocious “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. If you’re going to do that kind of thing, p/ease throw in your own treatment to make the song your own (cf. Teenage Fanclub’s “Like a Virgin”, Lost Dakota’s “Back in Black”, etc).

Oh how I wished I would have counted the actual number of songs that Sass Jordan performed before the -set ended and she said goodbye. There is no way that it was more than eight or nine songs. With three albums under her belt this definitely lacking set was an utter disappointment. The songs Sass Jordan did offer were super, but the simple fact remains that there were not enough of them. Granted, Sass did put on an energetic show but that hardly makes up but the inadequate length. The only other partially redeeming quality to the night was the six song encore that followed shortly after Jordan’s exit off the stage. A big question still remains. Shouldn’t an Almost as talented without The Box artist earn an encore?. With such a short set it was inevitacrowd was eating out of her hand. ble that Sass would appear agai n Sass was happy to provide mateDid the crowd deserve more murial from her previous two albums, sic? The answer is a decided yes. Did Sass Jordan deserve an en1992’s Racine and the new recore? The answer is a decided no. lease Rats, but absent were early Here is the dilemma. The crowd hits like “Tell Somebody” and deserved more than they received “Double Trouble” from Tell out of the opening set. They had Somebody. Sass thankfully has to yell and scream for Sass to moved in a new musical direction come back just to get a full night since her 1988 debut and the blues of rock and roll. rock permeated the entire set. Sass appeared on stage Sass delved till throttle into dressed in a loose fitting white material from Racine, playing
classic rock mainstays “You Don’t Have To Remind Me” and “I Want To Believe” as well as the her biggest hit to date, the rockin’ “Make You A Believer”. Touring in support of her latest effoti Ruts, an album that has received a cool response by the media, Sass ripped through. them none the less. The faster songs like “Pissin’ Down” and “High Road Easy” were strong enough numbers live but it was the slower number “Sun’s Gonna Rise” that stole the show. Closing the set off Sass opted for an odd choice. The down tempo ballad “Cry Baby” was a fine performance but proved to be an anti-climatic closer to the set. Returning to a cheering and expectant crowd, Sass surprisingly strayed away from any further selections from Rats. Instead she treated the remaining audience members to a few nonalbum tracks. Half of the six song encore was comprise d of non-descript numbers that did little to rev up those remaining. They could have been covers, they could have been Bsides but by that time it didn’t matter, for many the show was already over. The final number “Time Flies” cranked up the volume and the energy but by that time it was far too late, Sass had lost touch with the crowd. It was over and she didn’t even know it.

highlight of the 75 minute concert came from a dangerous trio of songs starting with “Biscuits for Smut” from their latest album Berty by “Give it” and “In the

meantime” from their previous album Meantime. I was very impressed with the band’s musical performance on stage. Most impressive, was the drummer John Stanier who was thrashfully perfect. Vocalist\guitarist Page Hamilton no doubt stole the show. It was clear last night who was the back bone of this band called Helmet (which was something I wished I had after getting out of the mosh pit). Bass player Henry Bogdan had an eerie smile during the night as he delivered bass lines of gyrating thunder. Overall, Helmet was an impressive well oiled machine that suceeded in their mission to rawk and should be seen given the next opportunity. A word of advice; if you decide to see Helmet in the future, bring one.

Giving Nine Inch Nails with Soyndgarden Mulson Park August 6, 1994 by Scott Reid special to Imprint
I
must admit that I am horribly sick of hearing the words “Generation X,” and also of hearing who speaks for our nameless, faceless, causeless lives, but the question still popped into my mind last weekend at this show. Listening to Trent Reznor scream “You make this all go awayI’m down to just one thing,” it started to occur to me that Trent makes a much better spokesman for our generation than Kurt Cobain ever could have. While Kurt knocked off endlessly bland, 3 chord power pop songs, Trent sings (screams?) of anger, pain, confusion and hurt, and his performance showed that he has certainly touched a vein in many people. Trent and his Nail-mates began their

Unfortuna ltely for these rockers, and had said that they liked “Head Like A who were expecting to hear something Hole,” probably wasn’t convinced, but any-
one who wanted to see Nine Inch Nails got exactly what they had hoped for. Rage. I had assumed that Trent’s live show would feel rehearsed and faked, but those explosions of energy on stage were real, and they translated through to the crowd. Trent’s threat as to what he would do to the sound man if he heard any more feedback pretty much summed up the sound quality. Over all, the show was well worth the money, and I would definetly go and see the band again, and these days that’s not something I say very often. Not having seen all of Soundgarden’s set personally, I won’t pretend to give a review of their anti-climactic performance. However, I will mention that although the sound man should be shot for the jangle of crap that passed as sound, Chris Cornell’s voice was incredibly impressive live, and the crowd did seem to enjoy their set. Of course, having the band follow Nine Inch Nails was the biggest joke this stage had seen since the Smashing Pumpkins followed the Beastie Boys, one week earlier.

f you say you’ve never seen the Headstones, you probably don’t watch TV either. They’re the ones in the Labatt’s Genuine Draft commercial with the guy who says “who cares!” The Headstones’ performance at Phil’s wasn’t exactly a high energy show -- meaning Hugh Dillon (lead singer) didn’t smoke, drink, or spit as much as he usually does -- but they d&vered a quality performance. The fifteen song set lasted over an hour and included most of their current album, Picfzlre of Health, plus some new material. This

particular evening’s rendition of “Oh My God” was embellished by jam interlude to a ‘Hip’ cover halfway through the song. This was followed by other favourites such as “Judy” and “When Something Stands for Nothing,” and “Its All Over” closed the set. Kicking off the encore with “Raw hide” got Sold out you say? a little crowd participation but didn’t live up to past experiences, The three new songs includes: on the roster sound promising but 1 didn’t catch the names. The new album has
been completed and will be tentatively released in January. Opening the night was the talented Winnipeg band Zen Bungalow. The band came armed with a whole arsenal of cleverly crafted guitar tunes. They showcased some incredible brand new songs along side material from their now year old cassette Milky. A super version of Love and Rocket’s “Ying, Yang and Flowerpot Fuck you! The Man” halfway through the set was indeed impressive, and Zen Bungalow proved to be a welcome opening act for the Headstones show to follow.

Jawbox Lee ‘s Pa Lace Friday August 19, 1994 by Seymour Drewe special to Imprint
I
n no other artistic medium does the artist so needlessly
suffer pathetic indignities as
does that of rock and roll. A case in point was the recent
Jawbox performance at Lee’s Palace in Toronto.
The Washington,
D.C., four-piece was blazing through an incredibly powerful set that had heads banging furiously as feet became glued to the floor. This was music too intense to mosh to -- most of the crowd remained stationary, standing stunned with mouths agape, only to find their heads pounding involuntarily to the beat. Most of the crowd, that is, except for the few morons bent on upsetting any good vibe that was otherwise &mpletely lost on
them. Bassist Kim Coletta, the obvious focal-point of the group as she bounds hither-and-to center-stage, had ice cubes thrown at her (they struck her chin and chest) and then later a lit cigarette was flicked dangerously at her. Both fire and ice, rudely thrust at her and for no good reason. Was it because she was a woman? That’s not a very good reason. Was it a gesture of endearment, like back in the ‘70’s
over the Sex Pistols? I hardly think so -- she looked rightly perturbed. Or maybe it’s another symptom of the sort of asshole-ism that’s currently in vogue with hardcore idealist punks. The sort of asshole-ism that almost left Jello Biafra dead, all because some idiots surmised that “he’d soldout.” You see, that’s the slag currently being levelled at Jawbox. Having formerly been on the Dischord label for a couple of albums, Jawbox recently signed onto a major label deal with Atlantic, who’ve just released their latest For Your Own Special Sweetheart. Dischord is the label run by Fugazi head-honcho Ian Ma&aye and is considered pretty well the piece-de-resistance of independent label heaven, so anyone who’d ever so much as even think departing for the greener pastures of a major label must be a traitor,
right? Well, somebody
not quite. It’s fine for like Ma&aye to stay with the independent label because apart from his gig with Fugazi (who sell lots of records), he’s got a fill-time job, namely, running the label. Jawbox, on the other hand, do not sell lots of records or receive loads of press
attention. They’re not getting any younger (they’re all in their late twenties) and they’ve all had to hold down part-time jobs for their very survival. That sort of arrangement makes recording and touring schedules near on impossible. In any event, their split from Dischord was by all sources amicable. Indeed, Ian Ma&aye was reportedly their adviser and helped negotiate the finer details of the deal, and Ted Nicely (who’s produced all Fugazi’s records} produced their newest. Besides, the bottom line is that Jawbox are an amazing band that deserve to make a living from what they love to do. That’s not a sell-out. It’s called intelligence. Opening with “FF=66” from NovElty, Jawbox quickly captivated the crowd, layering giant slabs of guitar from Jay Robbins and Bill Barbot on top of the chunky D-C.style rhythms of bassist Coletta and drummer Zach Barocas. For the most part the intensity was kept high with the two guitarists bookending, and perfectly framing, Coletta’s visual dynamic. Every once and a while, they’d drop it down a fraction to give everyone a short breath, before roaring back with hyper kinetic energy. With songs like “Mirrorful,” “Motorist,” “Green Glass,” and “Lil’ Shaver” Jawbox demonstrate they can rock with aggression, rhythm, restraint and melody. It’s a gift that might land them the attention they deserve. Until then, all the bullshit talk about selling-out is just that. Bullshit. And as for the idiots tossing-off ice cubes and cigarettes, it’s high time they found themselves a life.

and a member of Country’s elite -- the Grand Old Opry. Such was his alcoholism though, that after numerous missedgigs, drunken appearances and failed wamings, Williams was booted off the Opry. It is perhaps a measure as to the man’s song-writing and performing genius that he could interrupt these binges long enough to get in the studio and lay down masterpieces that would climb to the top of the charts again and again. He was the first country artist to get his songs to cross over to the pop charts. These songs would profoundly influence a generation of rockers -- Elvis, Buddy

one of the least
Young
known and most mis-undexstood musical artists of the post-war era. Until now. Finally someone’s got it right and written the definitive biography on Williams, and that somebody is Toronto’s own Colin Escott. His new bio, now available in hard-cover from Little, Brown, asserts both Williams’ staggering importance and the reality behind his mythical life. Equally as staggering are the revelations behind those myths; Williams’ life was already so fantastic that it never required the slightest bit of embellishment in the first place. Hank Williams was born on September 17, 1923 and died in the back seat of his Cadillac on New Years Day, 1953. His death was the result of an overdose combination of alcohol, morphine and chloral hydrate. A living legend, he was only twenty-nine years old and rock’s first casualty. Of course, Williams was never considered a rock artist in his time. The term “rock” hadn’t even been invented. He was a country artist in the tradition of the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers and Roy Acuff; and at a time when Nashville hadn’t quite yet established itself as the Country music capital. Williams grew up in rural Alabama, the product of a dirt-poor singleparent family. Barely literate, he learned much of his musical craft as a youngster in the streets of Georgiana, Alabama, from an old black man nick-named Tee-Tot. Many years later, he would meet his first love, the irascible Audrey Mae Sheppard, who would later

wife. In Escott’s bio, it becomes clear that Audrey was an immense influence. She was a horrible
and

It’s fair to say that without her, Hank probably would never have departed Alabama and shot to the big time. Besides, with heartfelt songs like “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” and “Why Don’t You Love Me?” Audrey provided inspiration for some of his most memorable material. When Hank moaned the blues, those who heard him became instant believers. Equally as pivotal in Hank’s life was his notorious battle with the bottle. An alcoholic practically since his early teens, Williams never met a drink he

Nobody, for example, suggests that the world is tired with the Mona Lisa, and that we should see what she would look like with red hair or a white dress. Stratford, however, inexplicably toys with these plays and in the end, rather than presenting the works with a “new world” sensibility as Artistic Director Richard Monette has tried to do, dilutes the works and words of the bard’s original play -- and that’s a tragedy.

arti Maraden’s Alice Through the Looking Glass is nuts. Gloriously, unabashedly nuts. With the inspired help of set designer Stephen B&ton Osler, costume designer John Pennoyer, composer Keith Thomas, and choreographer Donna Starnes, Maraden has staged a version of Lewis Carroll’s classic that is both utterly delightful and nightmarish nonsense. Canadian playwright James Reaney’s adaptation manages to theatricalize very literary moments--often a poem or an anecdote is acted out in the background while another character speaks, so that, as with the cartoon Beetlejuice, we feel that at any moment a word might suddenly become a looming, uncontrolled physical entity. In order to avoid falling into cutesy storybook land, Maraden and her creative team have pulled out all the stops. Through a combined visual/aural/textural/kinetic assault of non-sequiturs, they achieve a mood that is as untamed as this, Carroll’s second book about Alice. Aside from the brilliance of Carroll’s language, much of the production’s humour comes from the way effects occur: when Alice shakes a doll-sized chess piece, we hear a tiny voice like that of a squeeze toy squeaking “Let me go!“; when a giant

acter which fans generally see as a standin for Carroll himself; Bernard Hopkins and Keith Dinicol as the infantile Tweedledum and Tweedledee; Douglas Chamberlain as both the Carpenter and Haigha (read Hare); the rubbery Bradley C. Rudy as Hatta; and Michelle Fisk as the upright, disciplinary Red Queen. Each of these charismatic performers makes an individual impression and yet fits into the overall tapestry, much to Maraden’s credit. Now, however, we come to Canadian television star Sarah Polley, of Road to Avunleu fame. This fifteen-year old actress seems embarrassed to find herself in the shoes of eleven-year old Alice, and so never relaxes into a child’s reactions. Victorian language and British coquetteries seem so foreign to her that she never gets beyond arch preciousness, and though her surreal adventure would terrify anyone, she is persistently, nauseatingly cheery. (She smiles even when telling us how aggravated she feels.) Worse, Polley begins the play on a particular speech pattern and She doesn’t mar stays there throughout. the show beyond recovery, thankfully. There is usually so much else going on, and she is surrounded by so many vivid players, that we become inured to her. Finally, the approach taken by Stratford could have resulted in an insufferable Through the Looking Glass. What Maraden has pulled off is surely very difficult. Yet the show doesn’t degenerate into winkwinking and nudge-nudging. When all the campiness and weirdness are over, there still remains a sprinkling of fairy dust,

I
n last year’s Merchant/Ivory film The Remains OJXE Day, we are shown that old codes of propriety and duty which prevent characters from confessing their love for one another are actually quite tragic. In Edmond Rostand’s popular 1897 play C~~una de Bergerac, the same lack of communication is meant to be romantic and noble. Remains defines a butler’s self-sacrifice as the result of his lack of courage; Cyruno perpetuates the melodramatic claptrap of its day and celebrates the extreme
self-sacrifice of one misanthropic poet and swordsman as proof of exceptional freedom and bravery. Consequently, Cyran~ is essentially a one-man show; even Roxane, his love interest, is merely the target for Cyrano’s fine qualities. Throughout the play, characters (and there are hordes) exist almost wholly to demonstrate how gifted and mythic our hero is. At the end, he draws his foil on invisible archenemies, which he names off for us: Cowardice, Avarice, Compromise, Stupidity, and so on. Hello, Rostand? Uh,

Goldby has allowed lines to be de-

their tongues? Feore always has theatricality firmly in hand, and his Cyrano is no exception. The one element that is lacking, however, is profundity, and this may account for why his words occasionally rush headlong from his mouth and disappear before they-reach our ears. Feore portrays the largeness of Cyrano’s sensitivity, but doesn’t quite explore its more microscopic
elements. Nicholas Pennell has terrific presence as the nasty Comte de Guiche even when silent, and he is vivid enough about the character’s conversion to Cyrano’s cause for us to accept it. Bernard Hopkins also gives a solid portrayal of the baker who values poetry above bread. But it is splendid Martha Burns who shines the most as the virtuous, admired, shrewd Roxane. Here is the kind of actress we should see more frequently at Stratford. (It’s only her third season.) She commands the Festival space, yet is precise, controlled, and believably intense. Burns is so good, you resent even more Rostand’s failure to follow through with her role, to make the promising Roxane truly active in
her own destiny. One casting decision is annoying. Several times, actors play Cyrano’s bitter rivals in one scene, then return a short while later as new characters, this time his ardent supporters. It is most noticeable in the case of former UW student John Watson, who appears in his double and diametrically opposed roles only minutes apart, having spent a few seconds offstage donning a mustache. Surely this double-casting is not consistent enough to be symbolic. But if it’s a result of cost-cutting, with all the funds that were evidently siphoned into the show’s technical aspects, the convention is ridiculous.

Pirates of Penzancc directed by Brian Macdunald Festival Thea&e May 9 to November 12
by Craig Nickerson Imprintstaff ilbert and Sullivan’s nineteenth century operetta The Pirates of Penzance is a rollicking celebration of the absurd. It tells the story of Frederic who was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate king as a boy. Frederic’s keen sense of duty has compelled him to fulfil his role to the best of his abilities but now, about to turn 21, Frederic will be released from his indentures and then duty-bound to exterminate his former shipmates in the name of justice. What follows is a series of unlikely and paradoxical events involving naively kind-hearted pirates, a love story, a MajorGeneral and his many beautiful daughters, a climactic battle with keystone kops and a happy ending. All of which serves as an excuse singing, dancing and broad physical comedy. One expects such a production to be vigorous and busy to the point of excess. The Stratford production does not disappoint. In addition to the material penned by Gilbert and Sullivan, the Stratford production of Pirates includes a wrap-around story about a 1930’s movie studio filming a Bri ti sb theatre company’ s performance of The Pirates of Penzunce. In theory, utilizing the device of a play within a play should enhance the freewheeling silliness and confusion which is the essence of Pi-

this case it often does. However, the added material is a hit-and-miss affair. Tom Wood (who also wrote the extra material) is quite funny as the tyrannical film director Heinrich Von Schtompinc. His intrusions on the action of the playproper screaming “nein! nein! more flesh!” do elicit big laughs from the audience and the false start at the beginning is priceless. Unfortunately these intrusions do become somewhat counterproductive, at times slowing down the pace of the production rather than enhancing it. The bit after the finale seems pointless and is not all that funny. However, even when the additional material fails it does not seriously mar the rest of the production and when it works it works well. The cast is excellent and the entire show is well choreographed. The stage is often crowded with actors dancing, stagefighting or simply running around the sets giving the impression of an organized chaos which must have taken a great deal of time and effort to achieve. There are also several nifty “special effects” including the mast of a pirate ship rising out of the floor and a plane crash. Colm Feore cuts a dashing figure as the boisterous though somewhat gullible pirate king. Bradley Rudy displays a prowess for physical comedy as the Sergeant of Police and, with his talent for tongue-twisters, Douglas Chamberlain is the very model of a modem Major-General. With its nifty sets, coloutil costuming, and elaborate song and dance routines, Pirates is likely Stratford’s most enjoyable crowd pleaser this year. An Eticket ride.

of perfection that does not exist” sights bassist Dean Dinning. I’m not too sure about the perfection part, but the album is good and worthy of a listen. The first single “Fall Down” describes someone that fails to step in and help a friend who’s life is falling apart. The appealing harmonies as well as the finely tuned guitar parts make this one of the many stand-out tracks. Many of the songs on Dulcinea have that familiar folkrock twang that bring names like The Waltons, and Harry Chapin to mind. Guitarist/songwriter Todd Nichols makes for a pop-twang “Inside” 0l-l and a raspy poetic feel to “Begin” as he takes the vocal spotlight on both of these tracks. Both are excellent songs which maintain the Toad feel but also add the needed variety to the other ten songs. “Fly from Heaven” is the first track of Dulcinea which happens to be one of the few uptempo numbers of the album. Similar is the straight ahead folk-rock of “Something’s Always Wrong” which is my personal favourite from the album. Not a masterpiece by any means, but definitely a good album that deserves to be heard.
by Pat Merlihan Imprint staff Coining their name from a Monty Python sketch in their teenage days when Toad The Wet Sprocket was just a garage band, the long road to success has finally come. Dulcineu, their fourth release to date, is assured to hit a sweet note for the band and fans alike. From the inciteful lyrics exploring different themes of alienation, and life after death to humourous stories that they have experienced, the Toad has grown lyrically as well as musically. The guitar noodling with the help of the strongly influenced acoustic appearances really give an edge to Dulcinea. The concept stems from a story of Don Quixote’s love for a woman called “Dulcinea” as he sees her as a beautiful and wholesome vision when in reality she is none of those things. The album as far as the music is concerned is “beautiful,” it is also mostly mellow, soothing, and relaxing to listen to; “it is an ideal

by ChrisAldworth Imprintstaff Tribute albums seem to be all the rage as of late, so who better to pay homage to than rock pioneer Neil Young. This is actually the second tribute album of Neil Young material. The Bridge came out in 1988 and had alternative bands like Dinosaur Jr. covering “the godfather of grunge.” This time around the honour of rehashing Young material goes to a wide range of Canadian artists. Borrowed Tunes is comprised of the acoustic Out Of The Blue and the electric Into The Black, which showcase both sides of Neil Young’s songwriting. Like the previous tribute album all artist royalties and record company profits are being donated to The Bridge School and Safehaven Homes for physically and menThe tally challenged children. Bridge School was founded by Neil’s wife Peggy in 1986 to help disabled children. In 1978 Neil Young’s son Ben was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy and Neil’s oldest son Zeke was also born with a mild case of cerebral palsy. Like any tribute album, this one has its fair share of both good, bad and ugly versions. Fortu-
than the shoe-gazer-ish (is it really such a bad word?) A Storm in Heaven. For the uninitiated, here’s what Verve sound like: long, Iatenight sounds to widen the iris without chemical injections. Most of their songs run at more than five minutes, and are about as much a party band as Leonard Cohen at the beach on a long weekend. The album No Come Down is quiwith eter, like pieces “Butterfly” and “Make it till Monday,” found on A Storm in Heaven, being played here “unplugged,” if you will. For those who don’t know Verve, don’t start off with this one. Start off with The Verve EP, and then move to A Storm in Heaven.
nately the good outweighs both the bad and the ugly. The good include a beautiful version of “Pocahontas” by Crash Vegas, The Skydiggers’ “Mr. Soul,“the Jeff Healey Band’s “Harvest” and Amanda Marshall’s heartrending version of “Don’t Let It Bring You Down.” The bad include “Birds” by Jann Arden and the Waltons’ “Only Love Can Break Your Heart.” The ugly award goes, hands down, to Wild T and the Spirit and their horrible version of “Down By The River.” The Canadian artists on this particular collection come from every corner of the musical spectrum. Country singers Jim Witter and Cassandra Vasik cover “Human Highway,” grunge hHead band tackle “Look Out For My Love” and rocker Andy Curran cranks up “Cinnamon Girl.” Back from the dead is David Wilcox with his rendition of “Transformer Man.” Fellow rock dinosaur Randy Bachman hammers out “The Loner” and strange animal himself Lawrence Gowan does an adequate job with “Heart Of Gold.” This compilation turns out to be a who’s who of the Canadian music scene. Performances by up and coming bands like Rose Chronicles, One Free Fall and Treble Charger are found side by side with mainstays like 54.40, The Rheostatics and The Cowboy Junkies. If you like Neil Young or like Canadian music then pick this up.

Ever listen to a song that reminds you of something else, but you just can’t put your finger on it? The mega hit “Shine” is exactly that song. It is incredibly catchy, with that feel like you have heard it before. Collective Soul and their debut album Hints, Allegations And Things Left Unsaid is in a way like McDonalds food. McDonalds food is horrible but it has a sense of familiarity about it. Even though it is crap, when you are on the road and hungry, most people look for the golden arches to fill their stomachs. There is a sense of comfort with something you have had time and time again, even if the quality can be called into question. You always know what is on the menu and what you are getting before you get there. The music of Collective Soul is just like that burger from McD’s. It fills the void but never serves up anything sate to your appetite. There is nothing new but that fact is cleverly disguised with some fine song writing.
p to expectations, nor does o Soul Asylum any justice incredible live band that they have been known to be. May be a nice collectors item for the avid fan, but 1 think it would make a better coaster.
Collective Soul has an early eighties sound to it which brings to mind bands like Loverboy, Trooper, Cheap Trick and April Wine. The odd thing is that Collective Soul accomplishes much more in one album than what the later bands failed to do over the course of their careers. I’m not sure if that is a compliment or not. Collective Soul is cheesy rock, but it has a certain appeal that just can’t be ignored. When this is coupled with the fact that all the songs are so familiar sounding Hints, AIZegations is not a bad debut album. “Shine” is by far the highlight of the album. This _ song seems to be everywhere and music programmers can’t decide whether it’s classic rock or alternative music. Either way a search to find anything else of the same calibre on this album would only end in futility. There are a few other strong tracks like the bluesy “Sister, Don’t Cry” which has a Black Crowes feel to it. “Wasting Time” and “Goodnight, Good Guy” are both fine cuts but by the fifth song the schlock begins to come through loud and clear. “Love Lifted Me” and “In A Momerit” are sad attempts to be Honeymoon Suite and “Breathe” is so similar to the Indigo Girls “Closer To Fine” there could be a lawsuit in the near future. Enjoy the highs of Collective Soul but don’t be afraid to hit the off switch when you get a yearning for Trooper.

This album seems to have been one of the most critically acclaimed releases of the past six months or so, and all of the hyperbole is with good reason. Here we have a band that could only be English; no one else could sound this depressed and moody. The Tindersticks invoke memories imagery of smoky dives, of rainy nights spent looking out the window at the street below, or whatever sort of tableau you care to mention. Theirs has been an interesting ride to fame, with tons of very limited edition releases through late ‘92 and ‘93, all of which sent critics searching through thesauruses and musical anthologies in an attempt to describe and ultimately praise this unique band. This has resulted in lead singer Stuart Staples commenting in an Imprint, interview recently that his band has been, to his knowledge, compared to 37 others at various times. I think the best
was there the first time around. At the risk of copping some black lingo - it’s just not fresh. Check Your Head was pretty much great from start to finish. It took a while, but after a while, it was clear that there were lots of none-single hits, from Finger Lickin’ Good to Professor Booty. On their new release, however, instrumentals like “Bob0 on the Corner” and especially “Sabrosa” drag on for far too long. Ironically enough, when this album came out, some people were commenting on how songs like “Sure Shot” the B-Boys had suddenly discovered some new politically-correct awareness with lines like “The disrespect to women has got to be through/ To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends/ I want to offer my love and respect to the end.” Well that’s all fine, but tell that to the guest rapper on “Get it Together” (I think it’s either Q-Tip or Biz Markie) who raps “Listen to the ladies come on and let me spawn/ all your eggs then you go up the river/ Iisten to the abstract that freaky nigger. . ,‘I Anyway, a bit of misstep by the Beastie Boys all in all, but there’s no doubt that next time, if they try and build even further up on what they’re doing instead of copying past successes, they’ll continue their well-deserved reputation as the only white boys who can rap.
analogies can be made with Nick Cave, Velvet Underground, Tom Waits, or even American Music Club. All of these comparisons however, never actually match the band, because they take elements of all of these and turn it into something almost without musical precedent. There’s violin and organ and piano in the mix. There’s Stuart’s deep throated rasping over the music, echoing the sense of introspection and loss within. Over nineteen tracks it can prove hard to pick out favorites from such a solid work, but “Marbles” certainly is one. Awash in a guitar riff mirroring the sense of epic disappointment in the lyrics, one can tell why this song made N.M.E.‘s top ten singles list last year. Then there’s the gorgeous piano meanderings of “Raindrops,” or the slight intensity of “Milky Teeth”...the list can go on and on. Summer is not typically the time to listen to this type of music, I know. But come September or October, when you’re sitting at home, tea in hand, reading a book and watching the leaves fly by on a cool, windy, overcast day, you’ll want to keep a band like the Tindersticks in mind. Look for this album on critic’s “Ten Best” lists at the end of this year.

The joining of dance-hall reggae and hip-hop is the focus of this compilation CD. Shabba Ranks has lead this type of dance music into the club scene but his following is far behind him+ Most songs on this CD are not even worth listening to let alone being played in clubs. Two Bob Marley tracks, “I Shot the Sheriff’ and the title track “Stir It Up” are poorly remade bY Annette Bisset (from the group Calabash) and Diana King respectively. No one can touch the magic of Marley even if you are Jamaican like these two singers are.

Imprint, Friday, September2,1994 an appearance on Stir It Up. “No Happy Endings” by Michael Wolff contains jazzy keyboards that sound pretty cheesy and seem to clash with the rapping of K. Dean which is the song’s strongpoint. Branford Marsallis teams up with Blackheart under the name Buckshot LaFonque to create a song that sounds a little more professional and less commercial than Michael Wolff s bad attempt. “Wonders and Signs” is a mellow jazzy number with non-stop reggae rapping overlays. It’s one of those driving home after a long night songs that puts you in just the right mood to go to sleep, On the only positive note, Tony Rebel’s “Party Jam” is a quick and catchy tune that will ring in your head for days. He sings the chorus to the same tune of “Rock Around The Clock.” Other artists that appear on Stir It Up are Carla Marshal, Ninjaman, Kinky and Pinchers, to name just a few.

Even before opening the CD and putting it on, I could see that this was going to be good. First off, they came up with the best cover I’ve yet to see on one of these ‘NY camps (what was the deal with the eyeglass contraption last year?), and a quick scan of the bands showed that, unlike last year again, they have come up with a list of acts that potentially could go places, and put out good music. Created to help up-and-coming indie acts with their careers, the CFNY Music Search has done just that. Alumni of the camp include hHead, One, Rail T.E.C., King Apparatus, Wild Strawberries, and of course Barenaked Ladies, all of which now have major-label deals. The trick for the organizers has always been to sift through the hundreds of tapes they get each year, and put together a collection of what is hopefully the best, and happily this year they have generally succeeded. Another criticism leveled at this project last year was its tendancy to put rather big names on, who were not desperate for publicity, just to sell discs. I mean did Lowest of the Low really need the exposure, or Sara Craig or hHead for that matter? This year, the name dropping is restricted to Change of Heart, and instead it seems already that bands are getting more exposure than they ever could have hoped for without the collection. They deserve it too, for this is an extremely strong release, revealing exactly how strong the Canadian music scene has been getting as of late. Particularily strong talents include treble charger with a Neil Young influenced “Red,” Anyhowtown sounding a lot like new British popsters Echobelly on “I Am Found,” An April March appearing extremely Cocteauesque on “Lava,” and Hamilton’s All Good Children going right crazy and sounding very diffcrent with “I Think of You.” Then there’s “Dana” by Doughboys wanna-bes Killjoys (with the fantastic line “I’m walking on eggshells

Imported to the US from Germany, Fury In the Slughterhouse presents MONO, their American debut album. Hardly new to the music scene with three full length albums, but recently they have been turning heads in the US. MONO is a uniquely familiar blend of indie rock, bluesy pop, post-punk, and fold without pretension. Despite the chilling wording in songs like “Dead before Iwas Born,” Fury tries to avoid the swarthy, sombre musical fashion which lands them somewhere between Pearl Jam and the
Cure. “Money Rules” has musical lightness and “Dead before i was Born” has spright chord-crunching combined with dreamy keyboards and a rytiunic drive. Tunes like “Friendly Fire” and “The Brainsong” control the album’s pace with their acoustic turns. “Radio Orchid” is a lament about an old woman whose husband dies, which is soon to be another alternative fave. “Every Generation Got Its Own Disease” sadly ends up being one of the weaker numbers. This track is forbearant and moody, with a ‘90’s battle cry chorus. Il/foNO is a unique blend of whining

As always there’s anomolies, such as the Pearl Jam imitators Crawl, or (sorry) the usual funkrock from locals Groove Daddys (good guitar riff though). This is nitpicking though, as of out of seventeen songs, at least eleven are quite solid, and together form the best CFNY compilation I’ve yet heard.

Artists ranging in diversity from Judy Collins and Joe Cocker, to R.E.M. and The Jesus and Mary Chain have covered the work Of Leonard Cohen, Renowned Canadian poet Leonard Cohen, has been around since 1968 setting his unique lyrics to song. For most of his career Cohen has been a fringe artist, yet he’s still maintained a large cult following for his poetry and music. Although the deep gravelly voice of Cohen is not for everyone, (and indeed it has been questioned if he is a singer at all) Cohen’s writing instills a sense of longing in the listener. Themes of love, death and betrayal are continuously found throughout his material. Cohen’s writing is always top notch so the choice to put out a mediocre album of live material remains a mystery. Cohen Live is a greatest hits collection which compiles many of Cohen’s most loved songs. Recorded during his 1988 and 1993 world tours, all the crowd pleasers can be found. Unfortunately in a live setting the majority of these songs loose
of the songs almost sound upbeat. The majority of the 1993 material is taken from a show at Toronto’s U’Keefe Centre while the I988 tour material is recorded from an Austin, Texas show. Cohen runs through material dating right back to his l&S3 debut.
of “Suzanne”. The same is true of “Bird On The Wire,” an offering from 1969’s Songs From A Rum. Cohen includes material right up to 1988’s I’m Yuur Man. Splendid versions of “I’m Your Man” and “Everybody Knows” are found. Surprisingly though, no material from 1992’s The Future is included. This is odd considering the 1993 tour was in support of this album. Cohen is widely respected by the music community and many musicians have found inspiration in his writing. The cult status of Cohen among musicians is only rivalled by the love of Shonen Knife by bands like Sonic Youth, Nirvana and Redd
Kross. When he should be forging forward, Cohen instead relies on past accomplishments to get him through, making this a less than top notch effort.
