Aerosmith “Pump”

The Toxic Twins, Steve Tyler and Joe Perry, along with the rest of Aerosmith strike pay- dirt again with their latest LP, “Pump”. From the opening chords of “Young Lust”, to the raucousness of the lead-off sin- gle “Love in an Elevator”, to the bluesiness of “Woodoo Medicene Man”, this LP is raunchy ride down the rock ’n roll highway. The lyrics aren’t going to win the Nobel Prize for literature, but who expects them to? This is party rock. The video for “Love in the Elevator” is so riske that it will never be seen on public TV. Do these guys know how to have a good time or what? Perry’s gui- tar is as good as ever and Tyler’s chimpanzee-like vocals give the “musica bluesy feel. Well worth

The CIMN Interview

This past summer, Glass Tiger toured the Maritimes. While the band was in Charlottetown, I had a chance to speak with bass player Wayne Parker and drummer Jum Scotland. Here are some excerpts from that interview:

CIMN - Do you see yourselves as role models, and if so, how do you deal with it?

Wayne — Yes, we are. Definitely. You wouldn’t believe how crazy a few people can get in emulating us and adoring us for lack of a better word. It can get very scary, and so I would say gener- ally, things like a couple of years ago, I remember we were going, out we were playing at the Ontario Place Forum, and our guitarist and I were walking out with cigarettes in our hands to the stand to check, our manager stopped us and said, “There’s about 2000 kids out there to watch sound check, and if you go out there with a cigarett in your hand, there’s a good possibility that’s it’s going to impress a few of them into maybe taking up the habit. Now do you think you should have that kind of impression?” We said no, and we started then, for instance, a small thing, but it’s something that we again knew naturally that when you do sound checks in front of people that if you smoke in privately, you don’t do it pub- licly because we don’t want to encoutage people to smoke.

CIMN - How do you relax and unwind on tour?

Jim — We bring things with us like a dart board to play darts.

Usually after we play, if we’ve got a few hours before we leave, we'll head out to a local bar, pub, someplace to meet people and have a couple of beer. I like golf and I go out and play when I get a chance. We were hoping to catch the beach down here, but weather’s not permitting.

To hear Wayne and Jim talk about touring, the third album, and light pollution, listen on Wednesday, October 4 at 12 noon for the complete interview along with some music.

MUSIC REVIEWS

“Brave and Crazy”, the long awaited follow-up to Melissa Etheridge’s smash debut album, proves that she is no flash in the pan. The LP is a mosiac of beautifully crafted songs a deli- cious blend of rock, country, folk and blues. The album is more

- Sean Robertson

The NCRA, the organiza- tion that is the mother of cam- pus and community radio across Canada, is officially boycotting records distributed by Polygram Canada. The boycott has arisen ofter overa year’s negotiation be- tween Polygram and the NCRA after Polygram instituted service fees for their product in March of 1988. The decision to boy- cott came unanimously at the an-

nual NCRA conference in Au- gust. Every campus station across Canada is involved in the boycott. This is the reason you haven’t heard John Mellencamp, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Love & Rockets and lots of other bands on CIMN. Please be patient and understanding, we hope our con- solidation will bring the boycott to an end soon.

on to you byt when it does, you'll be hooked. Highly recommended.

This album was terrible. It did not have rock tendencies. It wasn’t even good country music. i was remended of the fifty’s rock anc released 15 years too late. It is inuch more acceptable for early to late 70’s country-rock. So to

sum it up. I rate it two thumbs

upbeat than its predecessor, the songs not as dark and brood- ing as before. The lead single “No Souvenirs”, is a catchy lit- tle ditty about a love gone sour. It, like most of the songs on the LP, axamines the complex issues of relationships with lyrics that are both intelligent and listen- able. Me’s voice is her forte’. One minute it is as soft as butter, the next, a gritty Kansas drawl. This record is not for everyone. It is not you typical TOP 40 ture. It takes a couple of listens to grow

first attracted me to his album was the jacket. It portrays a ’57 Cheverolet bel air. He also has worked with Tracey Chapman, which also interests me.

This memphis tennesse native should have kept his day job. His album is classified as “country with rock tendencies”. I was ex- pecting a Steve Earle type of al- bum. What I heard was an amer- ican version of Ray St. Ger- main, the star of that popular late night early morning show “Big Sky Country”.

down. You would have more fun spending $12 on a good pair of odor eaters than you would buy- ing this album.
