Mango brings ‘tasty’
funk-pop to Zoo Bar
MANGO from page 12
every Mango Jam performance,
said Larry Boehmer, owner of the
Zoo Bar.
“They’re just really good,”
Boehmer said. “They’re a lot of
fun; it’s very danceable stuff.”
He said the band’s faithful fol
lowing always generated a lot of
excitement, even for the somewhat
slower weeknights.
“They usually get good crowds.
Their Thursday nights are usually
as good as the weekends for us,”
Boehmer said.
Bush said the band’s fans made
coming to Lincoln especially fun.
“There’s a real excitement
about playing in Nebraska,” Bush
said. “People seem to like the brand
of music that we bring.”
Bush said that, in the past, fans
have let band members sleep on
their couches and have even
brought plates of cold cuts to the
show.
Mango Jam’s new album will be
the fourth album in eight years, and
Bush said he thought it was possi
bly the band’s most tasty release.
“We’re making music like we
always have,” Bush said. “But it
ii
We ’re kind of
inspired by stuff we
like, and it doesn’t
really matter what
type of music it is;
it’s all about the vibe
we incorporate.”

seems a little more coherent than
our other albums. It sounds more
like the band than anything we’ve
recorded.”
He said fans have been very
receptive of the new songs and he
thought Lincoln fans were in for a
treat.
“People really enjoy the new
songs,” Bush said. “We’ve had a
real positive response to them.”
The Zoo Bar is located at 136
N. 14th St. The show costs $4 and
starts at 9:30 p.m.
Sinatra remains hospitalized
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Frank
Sinatra remained hospitalized
Wednesday for non-emergency tests
with no word as to how long the
entertainer would stay at Cedars
Sinai Medical Center.
Sinatra, 82, was admitted to the
hospital early Tuesday, nearly 13
months after he suffered a heart
attack. He also spent a night there for
a checkup 2Vi weeks ago.
Hospital officials and Sinatra
spokeswoman Susan Reynolds
wouldn’t release any details about his
condition other than to say it was not
serious.
“Out of respect for his personal
request for privacy, there’s no com
ment,” Reynolds said. “He hopes and
feels confident that everyone will
understand.”
Rumors have circulated about
Sinatra’s health for months. A year
ago, he visited the hospital three
times in the space of two months. He
has not been seen in public since his
heart attack in January 1997.
Screeching Weasel
“Major Label Debut”
Panic Button Records
Grade: A
“Major Label Debut” is a debut
of sorts for Chicago-based punk
band Screeching Weasel, but not for
a major label.
With new band members and
their newly created record label,
Panic Button, Ben Weasel and com
pany can finally concentrate on
their music instead of the politics
involved with the industry.
As always, the band takes on
engaging issues on the latest EP, and
it only takes six songs and 10 min
utes for Weasel to get his points
across.
Some of these issues include
why records are better than compact
discs (“Compact Disc”),Jt£e prob
lem racism poses to our society
(“Racist Society”) and how much
Weasel despises people in general
(“Hey Asshole”).
The second track, “D.I.Y.,” is a
good representation of what owning
your own record label is all about.
On it, Weasel sings, “D.I.Y., why
because your band’s another weak
charity case. Our shows should be
five bucks or less, we’ll do it for the
kids. Two legs good, MTV bad and
major labels suck.”
“Major Label Debut” has all of
the characteristics of a punk-rock
album; short songs that are fast
paced and contain a lot of swear
words. Screeching Weasel is still the
same no-nonsense, offensive band it
always was, only now it has no one
to answer to but itself.

KZUM set to celebrate 20th year
KZUM from page 12 ^
operation and non-mainstream
music, KZUM first aired out of a
taxicab garage near 19th Street and
Comhusker Highway with a full 10
watts of power.
The format of the fledgling sta
tion relied heavily on jazz, blues,
folk, soul, local musicians and local
talk shows, which still comprise the
bulk of its broadcasts today.
Because most of the city was
either completely unaware of the sta
tion’s activities or couldn’t receive
its signal anyway, KZUM initiated
its first fund-raiser a year later to
increase its quality in both program
ming and transmitting.
Today, KZUM hums along at
this modest wattage, adequately
feeding Lincoln with news, talk
shows and the City's most diverse
musical format
Friday, listeners of KZUM can
provide even greater support for this
station, which has dedicated itself to
community service. For a $25 fee,
they can enjoy a catered chicken din
ner, bid for pieces of local art and lis
ten to one of die city’s most seasoned
blues bands.
Not to mention what they get
from KZUM every day:
“Our program here is 100 per
cent mission-driven,” Morris said,
“which is to increase ethnic and cul
tural awareness through diverse
music, news and public-affairs pro
gramming while striving for spon
taneity and programming excel
lence.”
