      Never
      mind
      the
      beer
      guts,
      here
      come
      the
      Sex
      Pistols!
     
     
      They're
      old,
      they're
      fat,
      and
      they're
      here
      for
      your
      money.
      Punk
     
     
      music's
      grand
      old
      geezers
      have
      reunited
      for
      the
      first
      time
      in
      20
     
     
      years,
      and
      they
      are
      milking
      the
      '70s
      nostalgia
      market
      for
     
     
      everything
      that
      it's
      worth.
      The
      album
      is
      called
      Filthy
      Lucre
     
     
      Live
      (Virgin),
      recorded
      at
      London's
      Finsbury
      Park,
      and
      it
      is
     
     
      surprisingly
      pleasing.
      Apparently,
      the
      Pistols
      have
      learned
      to
     
     
      play
      their
      instruments
      during
      their
      20
      years
      apart.
      Punkers
      old
     
     
      and
      new
      will
      enjoy
      this
      record
      greatly.

      Butthole
      Surfers
      -
      Electriclarryland
      (Capitol/EMI)
      is
     
     
      without
      a
      doubt
      the
      most
      eclectic
      release
      of
      the
      summer.
     
     
      luckily,
      it
      is
      also
      one
      of
      the
      best.
      The
      Surfers
      are
      veterans
      of
     
     
      15
      years
      and
      13
      albums,
      and
      they
      sure
      know
      how
      to
      play.
     
     
      Electriclarryland
      is
      chock
      full
      of
      progressive
      rock
      gems
      like
     
     
      the
      anti-asshole
      "Pepper"
      and
      the
      ethereal
      "My
      brother's
      wife".
     
     
      pop,
      dance,
      punk,
      and
      funk;
      this
      disk
      has
      it
      all,
      with
      intelligent
     
     
      lyrics
      to
      boot.
      I
      have
      to
      recommend
      Electriclarryland
      to
      all
     
     
      fans
      of
      the
      loud,
      eclectic,
      and
      left
      of
      centre.

      Progressive,
      melodic,
      and
      loud;
      Metallica's
      latest
      re-
     
     
      lease,
      Load
      (Electra)
      represents
      another
      nail
      in
      the
      coffin
      of
     
     
      80's
      heavy
      metal.
      James,
      Lars,
      and
      the
      boys
      have
      successfully
     
     
      melded
      their
      patented
      sound
      to
      the
      groove
      of
      the
      late
      90's,
     
     
      proving
      themselves
      to
      be
      a
      group
      of
      talented
      musicians
      rather
     
     
      than
      a
      bunch
      of
      brain
      dead
      metalheads.
      Load
      is
      Metallica's
      best
     
     
      album
      to
      date,
      and
      I
      oughta
      know;
      I
      have
      them
      all,
      and
      I
     
     
      recommend
      it
      very
      highly.

      The
      Cranberries
      are
      back
      with
      a
      new
      album
      that
     
     
      sounds,
      well...
      exactly
      like
      their
      previous
      two
      albums.
      I
      guess
     
     
      that
      if
      it
      ain't
      broke,
      you
      shouldn't
      fix
      it,
      but
      a
      little
      musical
     
     
      progression
      would
      have
      been
      nice.
      The
      album
      is
      called
      To
      The
     
     
      Faithful
      Departed
      (Island).
      If
      you
      want
      more
      of
      the
      same
      old
     
     
      Cranberries
      than
      this
      album
      will
      be
      for
      you,
      however,
      if
      you
      are
     
     
      getting
      sick
      of
      their
      carbon
      copy
      songs,
      leave
      this
      one
      on
      the
     
     
      shelf,
      **%
     
    

    
     
      J.J.
      Cale
      is
      truly
      the
      guitarist's
      guitarist,
      although
      the
     
     
      general
      public
      rarely
      has
      heard
      of
      him.
      Despite
      critical
      acclaim
     
     
      for
      12
      albums
      over
      25
      years,
      Cale
      has
      had
      little
      commercial
     
     
      success.
      Hopefully
      his
      latest,
      Guitar
      Man
      (Virgin)
      will
      the
     
     
      release
      to
      change
      Cale's
      fortunes.
      Cale's
      distinctive
      "Tulsa"
     
     
      sound
      is
      an
      exceptional
      mix
      of
      rock,
      blues,
      jazz,
      country,
      and
     
     
      folk.
      Lyrically,
      the
      album
      is
      simultaneously
      playfully
      serious
     
     
      and
      witty.
      Cale's
      playing
      is
      amazingly
      fluid
      and
      powerful.
      It
     
     
      is
      little
      wonder
      that
      is
      his
      songs
      and
      his
      musical
      style
      have
      been
     
     
      borrowed
      by
      everyone
      from
      Eric
      Clapton
      to
      Deep
      Purple
      and
     
     
      Dire
      Straits.
      Guitar
      Man
      may
      be
      the
      best
      album
      of
      1996.

      A
      reminder
      to
      cover
     
     
      bands
      of
      the
      future:
      If
      you
      are
     
     
      going
      to
      privilege
      yourself
      to
     
     
      use
      another
      band’
      name
      the
     
     
      least
      you
      could
      do
      is
      play
      a
     
     
      few
      of
      their
      songs!
     
    

    
     
      On
      Tuesday,
      Novem-
     
     
      ber
      5,
      “Miller
      Time”
      played
      to
     
     
      a
      middle
      sized
      (and
     
     
      predominatently
      middle
      aged)
     
     
      crowd
      at
      Myrons.
      They
      began
     
     
      their
      performance
      by
      playing
     
     
      a
      few
      of
      Miller’s
      slow
      moving
     
     
      classics
      like
      “Wide
      River”
      and
     
     
      towards
      the
      end
      people
      began
     
     
      to
      show
      a
      little
      spirit
      with
     
     
      “Take
      the
      money
      and
      run”.
     
    

    
     
      Unfortunately,
      shortly
     
     
      into
      the
      second
      set
      the
      band
     
     
      ceased
      playing
      Miller
      tunes
     
     
      and
      began
      playing
      on
      request.
     
     
      Oasis,
      Elvis
      and
      Motorhead
     
     
      followed
      along
      with
      others
      too
     
     
      numerous
      to
      mention.
      The
     
     
      crowd
      was
      slightly
      perplexed
     
     
      as
      half
      of
      the
      tunes
      were
      new
     
     
      and
      most
      of
      the
      audience
      was
     
     
      not.
     
    

    
     
      However,
      there
      was
      one
     
     
      shining
      point
      that
      I,
      the
      not
      so
     
     
      huge
      Miller
      fan
      that]
      am,
      could
     
     
      appreciate.
      The
      visual
      resem-
     
     
      blance
      was
      really
      excellent.
      If
     
     
      you
      could
      manage
      to
      block
     
     
      out
      the
      Myron’s
      feeling
      then
     
     
      you
      were
      picked
      up
      and
      thrown
     
     
      into
      the
      early
      eighties
      down
      to
     
     
      the
      patent
      leather
      pants.
     
    

    
     
      So,
      after
      they
      finished
     
     
      covering
      every
      pop
      band
      ex-
     
     
      cept
      New
      Kids
      on
      the
      Block,
     
     
      and
      ofcourse
      Steve
      Miller
      they
     
     
      did
      do
      some
      justice
      by,
      after
     
     
      people
      screamed
      at
      them
      for
     
     
      an
      hour,
      doing
      a
      great
      job
      on
     
     
      “The
      Joker”.
     
    

    
     
      So,
      I
      was
      as
      many
      I
     
     
      talked
      to
      were,
      dually
      disap-
     
     
      pointed.
      Miller
      Time
      was
      an
     
     
      ok
      band.
      They
      just
      couldn’t
     
     
      live
      up
      to
      their
      name.

      Think
      ofa
      reunion
      between
      the
      pop
      melodies
      of
      the
      Goo
     
     
      Goo
      Dolls
      and
      Liam
      Neeson
      on
      vocals,
      and
      you
      have
      a
      sound
     
     
      close
      to
      that
      of
      The
      Why
      Store.
      Lead
      vocalist
      Chris
      Shaeffer
     
     
      has
      a
      rumbly
      voice
      that
      sounds
      faintly
      like
      Eddie
      Vedder
      with
     
     
      an
      Irish
      accent.
      The
      band
      hails
      from
      Indiana
      and
      have
      played
     
     
      together
      since
      1991.
      This
      is
      their
      third
      album.
     
    

    
     
      The
      songs
      on
      this
      album
      have
      a
      polished
      sound
      and
      their
     
     
      style
      is
      a
      combination
      of
      various
      musical
      influences,
      with
      lots
     
     
      of
      guitar.
      Most
      of
      the
      songs
      sound
      similar,
      but
      some
      outstand-
     
     
      ing
      tracks
      are:
      "Lies"
      -an
      edgy
      rock
      ballad,
      and
      "Nobody"
      -a
     
     
      catchy
      little
      tune
      that
      sticks
      in
      your
      head.
      Shaeffer
      pronounces
     
     
      the
      word
      nobody
      like
      "nooboody",
      which
      made
      me
      laugh.
      The
     
     
      album
      is
      rather
      melancholy,
      not
      really
      depressing,
      but
      not
      very
     
     
      upbeat
      either.
      If
      you
      are
      looking
      for
      something
      current
      with
      a
     
     
      different,
      more
      sober
      twist,
      I'd
      recommend
      The
      Why
      Store.
