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.
