things that other stores didn’t,”
Erburspacher said, “like having a
lot of listening stations, having a
knowledgeable staff, being able to
special order for people, having a
wider selection, having used
music, buying used music and
focusing on the things that we did
that set us apart from the other
stores,” she said.
Perhaps a prime example of a
way that Homers sets itself apart
from major chain stores is the
27th and Dudley streets location
that specializes in urban and
under ground hip hop music
along with the music scene in
other stores.
Isaac Nolte, a supervisor and
buyer at the 27th and Dudley
store, said that some of the urban
and hip hop music in his store
came about from experimenta
tion and adaptation.
"It started out with me buying
music for myself and through
talking to a lot of hip hop fans
around town. I found most of
them were getting their stuff
online and I knew that if there was
a place in town that carried it,
people would come,” he said.
Some of that adaptation will
take fruition soon in the form of
the relocation of its 14th and O
streets store.
Galusha said that the lease on
the 42,000 square foot downtown
location will be up in May.
“The place just has too much
room for what we need,” he said.
Although Galusha would not
say where die new location would
be, he did confirm that the store
would remain in the downtown
area. At one time, Homers consid
ered a spot in South Pointe mall,
but that option is now out
“We are committed to finding
a downtown location that will be
attractive and better suited to our
needs,” Galusha said.

Atmosphere: 3 Vz olives
Variety: 3 olives
Price: 3 olives
Rogues does a great job mix
ing contemporary art with black
and white photos of famous jazz
performers. The location, near
the Lied Center and some of the
theaters, makes it a classy place to
go to after a play or a movie.
Couches as well as a piano that
doubles as a table are nice touch
es.
Perfect place to: Go after Tori
Amos plays at die lied Center (we
can only hope).
Honorable mention:
Barrymore’s: 124 N. 13th St
Now out of commission,
Barrymore's will re-open under
the same name in the alley where
the old Stuart Theater is. Here’s
hoping the bar keeps the charm of
tiie original as well as the value.
Of course, it is not recom
mended you sample any of these
martinis after your taste buds
have been numbed from drinking
other assorted intoxicants. As
with anything else in life, modera
tion is the key to enjoyment If you
are going to shell out enough for a
martini and a decent tip, it may as
well be a memorable experience
as opposed to a blurred one.

also to add flavor, Hick said.
“Cowboys” and “Split Image”
are two of Hick's favorite pieces.
They show strong contrast
between light and shadows, are
strongly composed and seem to
just fit together, Hick said.
“While shooting ‘Split Image,’
I saw a truck moving out of the
comer of my eye,” he said. “It was
just one of those moments pho
tographers dream of.”
“Split Image” shows a grain
truck in front of an elevator with
die truck’s reflection gleaming off
standing water.
On Jan. 24, Hick will give a lec
ture on the exhibit and other ele
ments of photojournalism as a
part of the Paul Olson Seminar
Series. A few extra images will be
shown on slides that weren’t in the
exhibit, he said.

After a five-year hiatus, The
Meat Puppets are back, singing
sweet “Golden Lies” and staying
true to their roots.
The Meat Puppets of the 21st
century have only one member of
the original threesome, but the
sound has been captured and pre
served with all of the tasty treats
found on “Too High to Die,” its
only album to see mainstream
success.
In true alternative rock fash
ion, the lyrics on “Golden Lies” are
cryptic and perceivably pointless.
The melodies fly by in short mem
orable spurts, and the Puppets
have always featured harmonies
Meat Puppets ★★★
as unique and tight as vocal
Spandex.
As the album progresses, the
songs hang dose to the same sonic
concepts as the original Puppets
but deviate high and low to create
a well-varied album.
“Pieces of Me" houses the
creepiness of Phish's “Rift” album,
harmonies so tight that it seems
one voice is singing both tones.
Shandon Sahm is all over the trap
set without ever throwing off the
mood of the song, always in con
nection with where the song is
going, whether it be leading up to
die anxious chorus or sliding back
to tiie laid-back verses.
On the flip-side, “Push the
Buttons” features a calliope-esque
guitar riff turning the Puppets’
attention to the center ring of a
harmonic circus. Part cheesy trav
eling music, part country, a touch
new wave, “Push the Buttons” cap
tures the bouncy and happy
aspects of the Puppets' sound.
As a whole, “Golden Lies”
shows why Ihe Meat Puppets have
a small, faithful following. None of
the songs are immediately or
widely accessible, but the album’s
appeal comes hum its variability
paired with its dedication to the
traditional Puppets sound.
