Arts & Entertainment Have 100% Fun While Stomping Frogs In The Garden Tuesday, April 30, 1996 I, Melody Oddkid Staff Writer Yes, I’m back with another comprehensive CD review. This month. I'll be reviewing Silverchair's “Froastomp". Matthew Sweet's “10()9( F,un”, and Michael Nesmith’s "The garden”. Silverchair debuted on the music scene last year. Their debut CD. “Frogstomp”. has risen in popularity e\cr since its release. The music contained within this CD can be classified as (temative rock. The CD itself starts otl well, then slows down, but linishes nicely. For a debut, it’s pretty good. Featured tracks include; “israel's son . “isuicidal dream", “madman . and "rmdaway". Oddkid rating: 5 X Matthew Sweet, however, is not a fewcomer to the music world. His flavor music has appeared on soundtracks Juch as “Young Einstein and Bufly the Vampire Slayer". His newest album. "100% Fun" is great, it has a gcxxl consistency throughout, and the track “EverN'thing Changes" is simliar to R.E.M.’s style of music. Featured tracks include: “Sick of Myself", Not When 1 Need It", “We’re The Same", and "Evers'thing Changes". Oddkid rating: 8 Since 1970, Michael Nesmith has relea.sed nearh' twenty original albums, and "The Garden" is his newest relea.sc. It comes with a botik, and you read the |pook while you listen to the CD lor an unique experience. This is oltcn rclerred to as “media plus one This instrumental CD is a sequel to an earlier Ixxik/soundtrack work written in 1974 entitled “Tlie Prison". The Ixxik and the music are written and composed b> Michael himself, and each .song flows nicely into the next. This album was nominated for a New Age Gramm\ award, and rightly so. Featured \(Kal track: “Life Becoming". Oddkid rating: 10 This wraps up yet another C D Review. Have a great summer, and wherever vou go. don t forget to lake the music! Poetry Comer I’m just kinda lost. Floating around in space. Waiting to blow this popsicle stand. My body is here but my mind is gone. Fatigue has taken over m\ system. My eyes want to close And remove my thoughts on life. My existence is getting monotonous 1 wish to be free. The world is caving in around me Everything's gone crazy. Everyone's thinking strange thoughts, 1 search the decades ot rock-n-roll. So much has changed. Yet it remains the same. There’s a message in e\ ery song if you take the time to listen. Maybe 1 should get m\selt to a cotteehouse Before my whole world explodes. Broken Again 1 felt my heart shatter into a thousand fragments, and the wind swept them away, far apart from each other, so they could not combine to form my heart again.
