made its way to the roof of an

been running rampant relating to
this move. Some believe that it's a

Ramadan concludes
with new moon
•
By Leigh Cullen
Staff Writer
It is 5:20 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, and the sun has gone down .
The Evergreen State College student Rahma Paddock checks her
watch. Now she can eat. She leans down and se lects a small
chocolate raspberry truffle from the glass display case. As she bites
into the chocolate, she explains that it is best to eat something sweet
first, before a real meal.
Rahma is eating for the first time since the sun came up in
th e morning. Rahma is one of a han dful of Muslims at Evergreen
celebrating Ramadan, the Muslim holiday offasting.
Ramadan is a month long period of fasting and reassessing
values. Muslims abstain in the hours between sunrise and sunset
from eating food, having sex (if married), and drinking fluids during
Ramadan, said Rahma . It is also important for Muslims to keep
their thoughts and language clear. Ramadan is a time of intense
prayer and obedience to Allah, says Rahma.
.. If someone is sick, pregnant, breast-feeding, very young or
'very old, they do not have to participate in the fasting or she or he
ca n make up the time when they are able. God doesn 't want
someone to fast if it will endanger their health , said Sa hirah
Ezzaldiin, coordinator of the Middle East Resource Center, a studen t
. group on campus. "He'll understand: she sa id.
Ramadan is.not only about fasting .. it also involves being
mighborIy and charitable to those less fortunate and gathering
friends and family together, said Sahirah.
During Ramadan, a typical day would start with the person
waking up before sunrise and declaring that she or he will be fastin g
that day, said Sahirah. The person then says her or his morning
prayer. A half an hour before sunrise the person must be flnished
eating and drinking, and shouldn't eat or drink again until
sundown. Ifthe person gets a dry mouth during the nay, they are
allowed to gargle water in her or his mouth, but not swallow it.
"Fasting is a complete cleansing of the body, the mind and
the spirit," said Rahma. Ramadan teaches self-discipline and selfsacrifice, and is a reminder that there are a lot of people who have
to go without food . "You come to realize that God has given you so
much," said Sahirah. We are blessed to have food, we just walk to
the refrigerator, but there are so many peop le who can't, said
Sahirah. They have to live with it the whole year, what makes it so
difficult for us to go a month without, she said.
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of/slam. The other pillars
are the belief in God, the five daily prayers, charity and Hajj, the
time of pilgrimage to Mecca . This year it fell on Jan . 9 to Feb. 8,
from new moon to new moon. Because Ramadan follows the lunar
calendar, every year the holiday falls about a week earlier than the
year before.
On the day after Ramadan, the celebration ofEid begins. Eid
is the culmination of the month of fasting, where families and
friends get together and celebrate with three days of festivities. On
the night before Eid. women decorate th e house with holiday
ornaments and lights. Children receive gifts on Eid and everyone
eats sweets, dates , cakes and other traditional foods.
After Eid, comes Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. If a pilgrimage
to Mecca can't be done for reasons such as not having enough
money to go to Saudi Arabia, the person ca n be involved in charit)'
and visiting other families, Muslim or not, in the neighborh ood.
After Hajj comes a second Eid. Traditionally in th e s\:n"'1d
Eid, Muslims sacrifice an animal in a kosher way, meaning t hefl'- h
no blood in the meat and pronounce the name of God over the
animal. Part of this meat is then given away. It is a time of socializing .
solidarity and eating with other people.
Though Ramadan fa lls in the winter this yea r, several year~
from now it will be in the summer. It is easier to fast when Ramadall
is in the winter because the time between sunrise and sunset i.,
shorter, and the sun isn't as hot, so you don't need as much water.
said Sahirah. "Fasting goes by fast this time of year."
Sometimes people take food for granted, said Rahma.
Ramadan shows us how it feels to go hungry. This is Rahma's Ilrst
year celebrating Ramadan . Said Rahma, ''I've never appreciated
food more."

Read this section to find a record-breaking six corrections/apologies (count them!):
In the janu ary 30 issue the CPJ ran an article titled "Student, Police, Parking disagree. , ,"
addressing a Dec, 11 incident involving Yuri Koslen and Police Services. The CP} would
like to make two corrections,
First, we reported that in his grievance against Police Services, Yurisaid'be was warned
once by Police Services officers that he was obstructing. Yuri's grievance was rionspecific as
to how many tim es he was warned, and thus our report that he was warned once was an
assumption. Yuri has since explained to us that he was warned several times, and he believes
that by creating a difference in th e number oftimes heand Police Services say he was warned.
the article worked to discredit his story. The a'ssumption was unintention al.
Second, Yuri disagrees with the statement', "Koslen says that the parking signs in the
library loading dock were confusing." In acrnality, the reporter found the signs confusing.
Yuri has since explained them to him ,
In last week's issue, we printed a response letter from John Evans, When we typed John 's
lett er into the computer we added four typos to the last paragraph, In two cases, where John
wrote "your" we typed "you," In another case, we skipped a comma, In a final case we changed
·'an" to "and ," John spl'culates that whoever did the typing may have been tired.
For the record , when we got john 's letter it was'practically flawless. If you read his
letter and judged him harshly on the basis of these mistakes, then please redirect your harsh
judg~ment toward us. Thank you, ,

Efforts to restore salmon run
By Leslie Ehrlich
Abigale Beeley

Contributing Writers
Ever wond er why Th e Evergreen Sta te
College's e-mail address is h@elwha "? It 's named
after the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula,
just outside of Port Angeles, the home of two aging
dams , The Elwha once suppo rted one of th e
largest salmon runs in Washington state (~ 5U,0 00
salmon a year), There has been talk in recent years
of removing the dams on the Elwha to help restore
the salmon runs, This may be the year it happens,
The Elwha River flows from the hea rt of
Olympic National Park, and currently provides 4,9
mil es of river that is available for spawning, If th e
dams are removed, over 70 miles would be suitable
spawning gro unds, The Department of th e
Interior has determined that the Elwha presents
"an enormous opportun it y" for. ecosys tem
restoration. If the salmon runs return , biologists
predict an increase in the viability of black bears,
bald eagles, otters and other critters that currently
reside in Olympic National Park.
President Clinton is asking for nearly $25
million in this year's budget to purchase the two
dams on the Elwha and begin their removal. An
additional $83 ,3 million is being requested to
revegetate the area, work on salmon restoration,
and enhance and protect the Elwha ecosystem.

On jan, 29, The Evergreen State College
submitted a 5% budget reduction proposal to
Gov. Gary Locke.
.
This is an exercise to give the incoming
governor a set options for the state budget, says
Steve Trotter, the college budget officer. Because
the budget reductions are only a proposal, no cu ts
will be made yet.
The budget reductions will nct affect direct
instructional services. Class room budg~t s ,
faculty salaries and benefits, and the student to
faculty ratio will not be changed, The cuts had to
come from other areas of the college, In a voice
mail message. Evergreen President Jane Jervis
requested that the programs ar positions that
might be cut not be identified ,
"Evergreen is not being targeted; this is a
state-wide process," says Trotter. Locke asked
state institutions, including Evergreen, to look at
their budgets and determine for themselv es
where they can reduce spending. Locke will then
review these options wh en deciding his budget

AS: Ideally, there would be games for just
men, as well as games for just women, and also
games where' it's 50/50, There are women
playing right now who are very skilled, talented
players. Women and men should be able to
learn from each other: women can learn to play
a more physical game, and men can learn to
deflate their egos.
CPI: Do you have any closing comments?
AS: Again, please don't hesitate to
approach me if you see me. The forum will be
publicized, so keep an eye out for flyers . And if
you wan~ to come play, don't hesitate I The level
of play is such that anyone can come out, get in
a game, and enjoy themselves.

CPJ: How were you chosen to serve on the
Athletic Advisory Board, and what do you do
for it?
AS: I was chosen to serve on the board by
Pete Steilberg, Evergreen's athletic director. We
had met,about three years ago when I and two
other Evergreen stlldents approached the
department to see if we could compete at
intercollegiate track and field meets as acclub
team. He supported the idea, and we did three
meets.l even broke the Evergreen discus record
in the process.
After that, I would see him periodically
around the eRC, and we'd talk about sports at
Evergreen . He has asked for my opinions
regarding athletics matters over the years, and
I have felt comfortable giving him my ideas and
suggestions. He has been receptive to them, to
the point where he asked me to serve on the
board,
The board is comprised of staff,
community members, and students, who serve
to aid in the decision making process as pertains
to the athletic department. I am one of two
stude nt liaisons on the board, and as such I
represent the student population.
A lot of people probably do not know that
I am doing "this, but I would like for them to be
able to voice their concerns to me. I am in a
position to relay any opinions back to the
athletic department, and I encourage anyone
who has questions about the department to
communicate with me. And I'd really like to
hear from people who are opposed to expanding
the athletic programs, because I don't tend to
get that type offeedback from people, though I
know such sentiment is out there, I plan to
facilitate a forum before the next board meeting
which will allow students the opportunity to be
heard. I would also like for people to approach
me if they see me on campus and talk with me
about athletics issues,
CP]: You are organizing bas~etball games
for women on campus. How is it coming along,
and what are you hoping'to ac~omplish?
AS: We are hopinzto provide women with
the opportunity to play ball with,other women:

I have played in the Evergreen CRC for as long
as I have been here, and in all that time only a
, few other women have come out to play. I think
a lot of their lack of participation stems from a
generally sexist atmosphere that is perpetuated
by some of the men who play there. A lot of
women have voiced concerns to me that they
simply do not want to play with men,
Consequently, the aim is to create an
atmosphere free of those types of
circumstances. The response has been great, I
have found an ever-growing number of women
who want to play. The phone list stands at
about 25 people right now, and more are always
welcome. We tend to get just enough to run a
full-court game, which is perfect.
CP}: When does the women's league meet
to play?
AS: Well, it is not necessarily a league, but
rather a group of women getting together to
play. We play on Sunday afternoons in the CRe
.,at two o'clock, and we are also hoping to meet
. on Wednesday evenings at five o'clock. The skill
level varies a lot, which is fine, There's no
pressure to be the best on the floor. An interest
in the game is all you need.
CP]: What would you like women who
might be interested to know about the games?
AS: Any woman who has ever had the
slightest notion to come and play should know
that we have a very supportive and respectful
atmosphere. A coml)'lon experience that many
, ofthe women have had, is playing in high school
and being pressured out of the game due toonce again- sexism. Many coaches at that level
are men who simply are not in touch with the
needs of the young female players. It seems
society does not value female athletes the same
way as it does male athletes. It's about respect ,
and it's hard to get as women, but it's chilllging ,

Congress will vo te to spend $100 million on
salmon restoration. He proposes dispersing it in
small increments, Murray says that salmon do not
have time to wait for Congress to slowly distribute
the money. and that the best solution is to do it all
at once,
Congress passed a law in 1992, authorizing
the Department of the Interior to acquire and
remove the dams and restore the salmon runs ,
Congress has never appropriated the money, The
Elwha ecosystem is an important step in bringing
wild sa lmon back to Washington state, Our
congresspeople need to hear from concerned
citizens that want to see healthy fore sts and
salmon runs return to Washington, The funding
for this project could set a precedent for other
ecosystem restoration projects across the country,
Congress needs to hear from ~ now!
Write Representative Norm Dicks and tell
him that he shou ld s upport funding for the
acquisition and removal of the two dams on the
Elwha River. Tell him that Port Angeles will
benefit from this as tourists are attracted to some
of the largest salmon runs in the Northwest. You
can write to him at U,S, House of Representatives,

COMMENTARY
~
\re you tired of going to the computer
cent( . only to have to wait half an hour for a
co mputer'? Have you ever been in the
Co mputer Center when both sect ion s of
computers have been closed for classes? Ever
taken a comp'uter class or workshop and share
:i computer with another student? Tired of
there not being enough computers to meet the
students' needs? Well. you as a student can now
do somethin g about it. Recently the State
Legislature passed a law allowing students to
impose a fee upon themselves of up to forty
dollars a quarter to purchase or upgrade
Evergreen's technology. I am not proposing
that the fee should be forty dollars per quarter,
but I do feel that some fee would be reasonable
ifit improved Evergreen's technology. In order
to impose this fee, the students themselves
must vote un whether or not to adopt it. In a
traditional school this job is handled through
the Studen t Government. Evergreen has no
Student Government. Therefore, it is only
through the will of the student body that these
changes can come to pass.
I wou ld like to suggest that a $12 .50 fee
be attached to tuition at the beginning of each
quarter in order to pay for technological
improveme'lts around campus. The money
from this fee (about $112,500.00 per year)
could be put to many different uses. One such
proposal is to buy a large number oflaptops

The Case
Against
Smoking
COMMENTARY

~
I love this college ..... after spending four
years working and going to junior college, every
moment I spend in class is pure bliss. But the
minute Iwalk out of the library, I am immersed in
a huge cloud of cigarette smoke. My nose clogs
up, and my eyes get puffy and tear. It is not right
that I have to deal with this. Where I come from
cigarettes are not even allowed on campus, only
in the parking lots. Here are a couple reasons why
The Evergreen State College should prohibit
smoking inside and around buildings.
1) First, it is a bloody shame th at smokers
are so messy. You come to this beautiful place and
what do you see all ove.r the ground. Smooshy
butts everywhere. I mean, why can't these people
clean up after themselves? So much for Evergreen's
claimed environmental tilt.
2) Second, for many of us it is a health
ha zard. I noticed a lot of people consider
th emselves sensitive to scents, such as perfume
and incense. How do you think we feel when we
get macked by a cloud of smokem SICKI! It's
not fun when your sinuses close up and give you a
headachel
3} University of California at Santa Cruz has
instituted a nOlKmoking policy on·campus and it
has made for acleaner campus, except in areas where
people are allowed to smoke, littered with butts, even
though trash cans are everywhere. Most places you
go in the California Bay area smoking is frowned
on .... people glare at smokers, and due to their
negative reinforcement, the numbers of nonsmokers are growing in Northern California.
4} Evergreen has a responsibility to ,,- Jtp~t

as a backpacker. I used to beat men up flights of
stairs twice as strong as me, just because they
smoked a pack a day.
S} This place has the cleanest air I have ever
breathed ....why is it necessary to repollute what is
already clean and good. How spoiled and naive
can you be?
The basic premise is that people with
addictions to pollution need to respect people who
choose to exercise their freedom notto smoke. Not
everyone is on the self-destruction bandwagon, so
don't drag us non-smokers along behind your
nastiness. And guys, believe me, thatnon·smoking

for student use, thereby making it easier for
students to write papers, take notes, etc. This
would also eaSe the.burden on the Computer
Center by keeping their computers available
for other uses. The fee might also be used to
subsidize students who wish to purchase a
personal computer. This would allow students
to purchase a computer at a fraction of the
normal cost (a practice implemented by many
other colleges around the nation). Another
proposal would be to fund the construction of
a Computer Center Annex located near the
dorms; allowing students to type papers, check
e·mail, surf the world wide web closer to home.
The fee does not have to be spent on computer.
The fee can be used for just about anything,
including more equipment (Cameras, Boom
Boxes< VCR's, etc.) for media loan. Students
declare what to deem as technology and
oversee w~ether or not the money is spent
appropriately.
Many ideas are needed on how the
money could be spent, and they should come
from the students, faculty, and administration.
Several forums were held on the subject last
Spring, but failed to accomplish anything
significant. I propose that a committee,
comprised of students, faculty. and at least one
member of the administration, be formed to
deal with these proposals and to hear students'
opinions on how the money should be spent.

The committee would review the proposals
and determine which of the proposals would
most directly benefit the students. I believe this
is the only way to allocate the money without
forming a student government.
I personally feel tha t students could
benefit greatly from new technological
deve lopm ents. I would like to see more
computers availab le to students as well as
increase the size of the Computer lab.
Currently, if a class of 25 students attends a
workshop in the Macintosh Lab, at least fo ur
students wi ll end up sharing a computer.
Imagine trying to teach the fu ndamentals of
"PhotoShop" to a program of fifty students,
when all of the stude nts are sharing computers.
How ca n we expect students to receive handson education when the school can't afford the
necessary eq u ipm~nt?
.
I feel it is time for students to take this
ma tter upon ourselves. The proposed fee
would benefit all students and show the State
of Washington that Evergreen can govern itself
effectively. If wewant improvement, it is up to
us to get them.
I welcome any other discussion of this fee
and its possible uses . Please write me at:
cric kg 32@elwha.evergreen.edu."

Elwha ,River
Salmon

~
Ever wondered why The Evergreen State
College's e-mail address is "@ elwha"? It's
named after the Elwha Ri\:,er on the Olympic
Peninsula, just outside of Port Angeles, the
home of two aging dams. The Elwha once
supported one ofthe largest salmon runs in
Washington state (250,OOQ.salmon a year).
There has been talk in recent years of removing
the dams on the Elwha to help restore the
salmon runs. This may be the year it happens.
The Elwha River flows from the heart of
Olympic National Park, and currently provides
4.9 miles of river that is available for spawning.
If the dams are removed, over 70 mil~would
be suitablespawning grounds. The Department
of the Interior has determined that the Elwha
presents "an enormous opportunity" for
ecosystem restoration. If the salmon runs
return, biologists predict an increase in the
viability of black bears, bald eagles, otters and
other critters that currently reside in Olympic
National Park.

Dear Editor, CPJ;

believe it is not for The Evergreen State

that at one point the canoe was to have been

Stop Whining
~
I don't know where Yuri is from, but if he
pulled a stunt like that in my home town , or
perhaps anywhere else in the U.S., he would be
lucky not to go get his ass thrown in jail. In my
opinion he's acting like a sniveling little wimp who
is pissed off at everything, including the way t~at
parking tickets are handled. If Yuri doesn't pay
fines and piss cops off by acting like a whining
little brat, then he has a lot to learn about the real
world. I understand that T.E.S.C. is a utopia in
itself, where things are different; but I think that
this is stretching things a little far. So Yuri should
get some tissues, wipe up the puddle of tears that's
.making me sick, get a job to pay offhis problems,
and for God's sake, quit whining and get a life.

DearCPj,
I am writing you again because I have
gotten a lot more information concerning Yuri
Koslen's situation since I wrote the original
letter. At that time I had onIyread his grievance
in the cpJ (and on the-posters). However, I have
since read all accompanying articles, letters, and
opinions in the CPJ, as well as attended a
discuSsion on possible community actions to
prevent excessive force in the future, and seen
medical documentation of Yuri's physical
condition following the incident.
I will now back up Yuri's claim that he was
injured (some hair was ripped out, his muscles
were spasming, and he was in pain). Iam sorry
that the incident occurred. I certainly do not
condone police brutality. However, I do not
think that police brutality occurred in this case.
The officers acted overzealously at most.
Let's say the officers acted exactly as Yuri
Claims (which is quite possible). He had seven
unpiad parking tickets and had parked iIIegaUy
again (whether or not he was awware of this
when he parked or not). The police then
attempted to put a boot on his car, he tried to
stop them, they took him down and put a boot
on his car. They let him go. He sustained no
debilitating injuries, nor did he end up losing
credit. The police did not kick him or hit him
with anything while he was on the ground. He
was not brutalized. He did not incur any
significant harm. He came out of it pretty dam
well.
My point is: Yuri is fme . Evergreen
students in general are fine. The police are not
going around beating all of us or tyrannizing us.
However, there are places where this does occur.
And there are two bills in the legislature right
now that, ifpassed, will not permit Washington
to recognize same-sex marriages. Evergreen is
supposed to cut 5%of its budget. Constant
moves are being made to cut back freedom and
aid to the poor. AU of these are things worth
our attention. They affect a great number of
people. What happened to Yuri was a shame,
yes, but he should get-en with his life. What
happened to him is by no means an epidemic
or soemthing that should cause great concern.
(:oncern }Qurselfabout people starving to death
or actually beaten by police (or anyone for that
matter) or the quality of the educational

Critters Buggi.n's Ifost offers originality and groove
BY BRYAN FRANKEN SEUSS TH EISS

I don't know about you, but it's not often
that I come across a band from Seattle that
strikes me as having a unique sound or
approach to music. Nothing against the city,
but if you tell me about a band from Seattle I
will imagine them as one of those generic
Alternative Guitar Rock bands with the same
old song structure , the same old
instrumentation and the same old insincere
angst-ridden lyrics. You know, those bands
that try really hard 'but will never matter
because they don't have an ounce of unique
vision in their souls. The ones that can't help
but blend in and eventually be buried beneath
the sexy femme robots from the covers of
Autograph albums in the Bottomless Pit Of
. Bands That Don't Mean Shit.
That's why I was so surprised when ffirst
heard Guest (Loosegroove), the debut album
from the undeniably Seattle-based Critters
Buggin. Here was an album with soul. an
album with groove, an album with originality.
An album that sounded like it might have
been imported from Bill Laswell's studio in
New York, but in actuality gives a producer
credit to Stone Gossard from that group Pearl
Jam. This was music that you couldn't put a
label on or pinpoint geographically. Perhaps
that's why just about everyone I know who
bought their album found it in a cut out bin.
and why their biggest claim to fame seems to
be that their song "Shag" is played quietly in
movie trailers including the one for A Thin
Line Between Love and Hate.
Their profound contempt for
commercial considerations continues with
their second album Host (also on
Loosegroove) which is at least as engaging and
indescribable as its predecessor. Critters
Buggin play exploratory, improvisational
instrumental music that melts down the
borders between free jazz, rock, funk, ilip hop,
ambient and world music. A Critters Buggin

song is a neutral zone where all cultures and
genrrs come together without hesitation;
jazz saxophone slides over a dub bassline,
African percussion, crunchy guitar and
bizarre samples from archaic self-motivation
records. The players are clearly proficient in
a wide range of musical languages, so a laid
back, spacy meditation can bounce into a
funky drum loop that later turns around and
bangs you over the head with distorted and
sax-noise. They can be spacy but grooving,
jazzy but intimidating.
They're good players, too , all of them
having paid their dues as session musicians.
Drummer Matt Chamberlain and bassist
Brad Houser were in Edie Brickell's New
Bohemians, and Chamberlain played for
. Pearl Jam, G.E. Smith's Saturday Night Live
Band and, more to his credit, Weapon of
Choice. Saxophonist Skerik is known for his
old band Sadhappy and also played with
Wayne Horvitz and the Young Composer's
Collective (who played a great show here on
campus a couple years ago). Their influences
range from Miles Davis to Boredoms to
Master Musicians ofJajouka and they've got
the chops to dish out what their broad tastes
require.
Host starts out hard and heavy with
"Mount Blasta." It's the most funk-tinged cut
on the album, utilizing wah·wahs and drum
loops in a style somewhat reminiscent of the
last two Beastie Boys LPs, but with driving,
distorted saxophone honks and squeals a la
John Zorn . Other knock out cuts include the
Last Poets meets Mr. Bungle "Bill Gates" and
the swingin' death march "Manhog's Day In
The Park." A lot of the other songs are
mellow, almost serene, but they aren't likely
to put you to sleep. Just in case that is what
you're looking for, though, the untitled last
track is a long sample from a scratchy
relaxation record.
Despite the mystical sounds and the

since lodged themselves in my brain. After
a short rousing yell, Jones' voice (which
sounds a lot like Andy's from Sister Psychic)
complains he ferls forc ed to "get normal
with everybody looking at you." Ahh, the
pain of feeling out of place. I found myself
humming it during class today. .Catchiness
is the trademark of any good pop song.
Following
"Get No rmal" is
"Corduroy" (not to
be confused with
the Pearl Jam song
of the same name),
that inherits the
. percolating melody
from the opening
song. The song is a
tribute to the
of
coolness
corduroy pants and
th e
incredible
"shwoosh" no ise
they make (which
Jones and company
imitate with astonishing accuracy), singing
"everyone, everywhere. is sure to hear the
pants I wear. Jones' character prides himself
on starting a trend, which leads to heavy
noise pollution in the halls aro und his high
school. Interestingly enough, the CD comes
with a small piece of brown corduroy fabric
in the crease for you to feel as you listen .
"Sister, if... " made me snicker. A
bounding drum' beat pounds through the
song as Bland expounds on his new found
love, a nudie magazine. He says, "I wasn't
very good at sports, or building fancy forts,
but when I was about fifteen, I found a

the Cooper Point JournD/

magazine, you know the kind I mean, it was
the most amazing thing I'd ever seen." Sure
Dennis likes it, but he would prQbably feel a
lot less perverted if he'd had a sister to
demystify the female form. "Flesh wouldn't
give me fits, I'd be used to it." Not being a
boy, I can't say how well this scenario fits into
the male adolescent profile, but it sounds
pretty funny.
Ce rt a in
scenarios of teenage
life bleed through
into adulthood, like
chronic datelessness.
"A Nerd's Night In" is
the perfect song for
anyone laying about
at home on a Friday
night watching TGIF
and feeling depressed
as hell about it. The
slow,
jingling
keyboard s
and
soothing guitars
build up to a pinnacle
of melancholic anger while Jones croons
about a date gone awry. "She's just like all
the others, who could have ended up as
lovers," he almost. whines. Despite its
gloomy tone, the song does have its goofier
moments, when Jones says, "I had a date, it
didn't go well, and I'm wondering if it's the
way I smell." A good laugh for those less·
than-optimistic moments.
The remainder of the album follows
Den nis Bland into the self· conscious cave '
created by bullies and a general sense of
despair. "Bland's Last Stand (Bad One)"
takes us into the bully confrontation, then

"I'm In Pain" holds his hand afterwards, as
Jones moans and groans (with a lo t of
feeling, you actually believe he's been beat
up) along with a sullen guitar. "My heart is
broken and my nose is running," he sighs.
Then, the song explodes into a bitter rant
(the guitar gets faster and drives itself into
the drums), only to crumble back into a soft
mope. "Funny" admonishes the onlookers
of his torment, who "go on and laugh" at
hi s pain. The keyboards sprinkle themselves
all over, adding a bit of cheer to the
otherwise resentful lyrics. By the end of th e
song, your ears have a pretty detailed picture
of the downfall of Dennis Bland. From
jubilant to jaded in just 27 minutes.
UnPop . .. is certainly a pop album by
sound and by nature. Hopefully, th e
popularity aspect will come along soon
enough. The Previous' clever so ngs and
catchy tunes should help them rise above th e
carbonated confusion.

The Previous are having a CD
release party Saturday, Feb. 15
at 8:30p.m. The fun takes place
at the Midnight Sun (113 N.
Columbia St. in lovely
downtown Olympia). It's an all
ages show (yee hah). Cost is
$5, but you can get a dollar off
if you bring a go~d book for
the Books for Prisioners project.
You can purchase Un Pop... at
The City Limits for only $5. It's
coming soon to Rainy Day

UnPop••'. plops a pop gem into an otherwise flat world
Pop music is not always popular, as the
title would sugges t. For example, the Posies
have a loyal following around the Northwest,
but they don't get much airplay east of the
Rockies and they certainly haven't made the
cove r of Rolling Slane on a yearly basis. Yet
their music is definitely more enriching than
anything that comes out of the minds of
Oasis or Bush. Yet, they all'fit under the same
category. Pop music is more of a sound than
. a stat us.
Local artists The Previolls (voca list/
guitarist AndrasJones, guitarist John Nason ,
bassist Brian Sc he y, Drummer Co lin
Mahoney, and keyboardist Marshall
Thompson, who were known as Mr. Jones
and the Previous) have released their latest
CD entitled UnPop . .. (City Limits) which
ce rtainly follows the pop mu sic so und
guidelines. Soothing yet driving melodies
and bouncy rhythms abound in this lovely
record about the pangs of adolescence and
add itional traumas. Coming in at three
minutes under a half hour, this gem packs a
lot of punch into a small space.
. The record chronicles th e life of
fictional character Dennis Bland (concocted
by the mind of Andras Jones) who begins the
album in the last golden remnants of
childhood, only to plunge into to horrors of
growing up: namely bullies, hormone.s, and
popularity. Like many of us, he is inspired
by TV to rise above his anguish, but is pushed
back by the evil hands of reality (or bullies).
Jones explains this story in the liner notes of
the CD, so read along as you listen .
The album begins with "Get Normal,"
a cheery song whose melody and lyrics have

part their sounds just take you away to
somewhere that you probably haven 't been
to before.
Critters Buggin are a rare combination
of technical skill and innovation . They know
what to try and they know how to pull it off.

Why

sucks:

BY JOliN FORD
Hi fo lks, John Ford , resident comix
curmudgeon here. The illustration you see
before you is the new incarnation of .
SUPERMAN. Yes, the idiots that brought you
a dead superman, four bogus superman, and
a disgusting yuppie-esque Clark Kent have
done it again!
Everything from the past 58 years is
revamped; from his powers, to the fact that as
Clark, he's completely mortal. to his costume
and insignia. Those last two items are among
the most recognizable icons in the world.
The reason is simple: sales are down, and
so apparently is genuine creativity.
Keep your $$$ in your pockets for this
one, 0' gentle readers; it's both cheesy and
shabby.
