A lyric poem from Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde for <strong>WMRE</strong>’s graduates<br />
Ev’rybody knows<br />
That baby’s got new clothes<br />
You know it balances on your head<br />
Just like a mattress balances<br />
On a bottle of wine<br />
Your mama’s moanin’<br />
You better go now<br />
Sooner or later<br />
Everybody must give something back<br />
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see<br />
Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good<br />
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck.<br />
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able.<br />
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “good luck.”<br />
Not too many can be like you<br />
You just did what you’re supposed to do<br />
With your pockets well protected at last,<br />
With your childhood fl ames on your midnight rug,<br />
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,<br />
Who among them do you think could resist you?<br />
Who among them do you think would employ you?<br />
Well, early in the mornin’ ‘til late at night,<br />
Hopin’ you’ll come through, too.<br />
--Valerie Gaimon, zine editor<br />

Album: Sightings -- Arrived in Gold<br />
Sightings are at the forefront of the New York art scene. Borrowing from the scene led by<br />
Black Dice, and the ever present infl uence of the almighty Sonic Youth, and combining postpunk<br />
rumblings of the Liars with a fusion of Providence’s artsy noise bands, even the infl uence<br />
of no wave, Sightings attacks the listener with a fusion of sounds. Using all the traditional<br />
instrumentation of bass, drums, and guitar but making them sound like other instruments, for<br />
example the guitar like drums, and the drums like chimes or bells. This makes Arrived in Gold<br />
quite a unique album. However it is much more accessible than previous efforts, and is not the<br />
full-on assault for which they were previously known.<br />
Show: Hella & Out Hud at MJQ<br />
Tight Bros. created the ultimate showcase of two unique bands playing very different styles of music. Hella, a twopiece<br />
guitar and drum duo, play extremely frenetic math rock. This shit was completely insane. They decided to change<br />
things up, and had a bass player and a dude playing both guitar and keyboards accompany them. This completely pushed<br />
the boundaries of their sound. Looking like caveman or unwashed hippies they played some of the most intricately<br />
constructed math rock soundscapes that left the audience in bewilderment. Out Hud then took the stage to provide their<br />
unique blend of house music, dub, and post punk. Bodies slowly began to gyrate to the sweet sounds of synth beats,<br />
soothing female vocals, cello, and pure sexuality. Slowly, the more rambunctious and less inhibited members took over<br />
the fl oor creating a party that made the movie 24 hour party people look like a frat party. Members of out hud even<br />
jumped into the fray to booty dance with audience members. The phrase “Excuse me I thought I was dry humping my<br />
girlfriend’s leg” was often used. Wait no it wasn’t but it could have!—Chris Daresta
