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.

“Mallrats” Soundtrack
Various artists
MCA Soundtracks
Grade: A
The“Mallrats” soundtrack is one
of the few soundtracks where you
should probably see the movie be
fore you buy it; nonetheless, it’s
still a damn good collection with a
ton of artists few have ever heard
of.
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.

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. After a viewing
in one location, demand has arisen for

its showing in others, most recently in
Indonesia. In Cairo, it won an award at
the Egyptian Film Festival (Best Ar
tistic Achievement) and also Best Fea

Cinefestival. The worst place was in
Leningrad. After the First 10 minutes,
people started walking out by the doz
ens. But a few stuck around until the
end.
DN: What future projects do you
have planned?
SP: After 20 years of making docu
mentary Films, I think my awareness
of the Filmmaking process has be
come well developed. I don’t feel an
urge to jump up to 70 mm, just be
cause I’ve now done one in 35 mm. It
isn’t a progressional thing. One future
film in the works is about teen preg
