Sandy Continued from Page 9 ning at 9 p.m. at the Zoo Bar. The music will bounce off the walls, Big Sandy will probably tell some jokes, and the guitarists will do some nice solos. Not bad for only $4. And at 5:3 0 this afternoon, the band will perform and sign autographs at Homer’s, 1339 O St. Pete Pederson, Homer’s import buyer, said he was looking forward to meeting the band. “They’re traditional rockabilly and they do a darn good job of it,” Pedersen said. “They’re a pretty decent outfit. Anyone who’s into rockabilly blues would enjoy their performance. “These guys are just gonna get bet ter,” Pedersen said. Some of the greatest country artists have been unable to communicate the energy and personality of their per for mances in their recordings, but they succeed on stage. Hopefully, the Fly Rite Boys is one of those bands. But if such is the case, they should have made a live recording, because this studio stinker is atrocious. On “Swingin’ West,” the instru mentation is fake and boring, a de pressing slur of the styles pioneered by American originals Chet Atkins and Hank Williams. The guitars sound more like back ground music on Tom and Jerry than anything genuine. Show-offy, unsurprising and cliched, how anyone could enjoy this is hard to imagine. Big Sandy sings country music like he’s experienced American culture by listening to modem music soundtracks. Of all the lousy songs on this al bum, “We Tried To Tell You,” is the least painful. Boy, this album is awful. Let’s just hope they’re better tonight on stage. r ■. * j ^ .-X./ /*’•. * / XiPPXXX'X >X V* Lecture Notes- /, > gX- ^ Cdurse.

The list of artists includes Bush, Sponge, Weezer, silverchair, Wax, Belly, Elastica, Squirt gun, Archers of Loaf, All, Thrush Hermit, The Goops, Sublime and Girls Against Boys, plus some lovely sound munchies from the movie. One of the best aspects of the compact disc is the fact that the sound clips are evenly spaced, and it has a good selection of what’s in the movie. Some of the clips will seem strange if you haven’t seen the movie. The absolutely addicting song “Suzanne” by Weezer is a winner. Talkaboutyourear-catchingsingle! It takes the feel-good vibe Weezer is known for and throws in a sound that is just... yep, gonna have to say swinging. On “Bubbles,” Bush sounds a bit less edgy than average, and Sponge, with the track “Seventeen,” sounds absolutely NOTHING like its album. Both songs are good and definite changes of pace for the bands. Anyone un familiar with the band known as Wax will get a good in troduction with the title track, “Mallrats,” yet another catchy song. Other marvelous stuff includes “Web Up Front” by Archers Of Loaf (band has a distinct vocalist); “Social” by Squirtgun (which re minds me of someone, though I’ll be damned if I can think of who), which should be the second single; and “Stoned” by silverchair (it doesn’ t sound a great deal like some one else on this track, and it’s about time). The problem with the rest of the tracks is that they have to compare to high levels of standards set by the aforementioned bands, and simply can’t measure up. Most of them are still pretty good, with the exception of Girls Against Boys, which is plain bad. The soundtrack is a great recap of the movie, a good collection of music and worth picking up. — Cliff A. Hicks Perez Continued from Page 9 devil three times is one example. What I have tried to do is weave characters and events that shape their lives into a “tapestry.” DN: That approach applies to your background imagery as well, such as the contrasts between the brownish Texan graveyard of Marcos’ home town with the immaculate greenery of a Wisconsin cemetery. SP: Yes, the landscapes show what it was like to be a migrant farm worker, travelling to and fro, always on the move, during that time period. DN: What are your feelings about the cuts facing many federal agencies and programs for the arts? SP: I think future generations from now will look back on this era in disbelief. All the arts are affected by this, not just film. In reality, my project probably would have taken a lot longer than the year it did, without the sup port of numerous financial sources, including the NEA and NEH. DN: Your work is not exactly main stream Hollywood. SP: Hollywood wants movies that are bankable, which at the moment means subjects that require little or no thought from the viewer—shoot-em up pictures, full of big names and guns, with a little sex thrown in. DN: Outside of the United States, how has the picture been received? SP: For the most part, reactions have been favorable.

SP: After 20 years of making docu mentary Films, I think my awareness of the Filmmaking process has be come well developed.
