It wasn't long ago, after all, that Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters were hailed as instant superstars. But the initial, pleasant surprise that Grohl actually could sing and lead a band has subsided, and the Fighters' brand of likable but not revelatory alterna-rock has lost some luster in these electrunica obsessed days. Now along comes ex-Nuvana bassist Krist Novoselic, who has enlisted Venezuelan meet singer Yva Las Vegas to front their new band, Sweet 75. A few indie snobs have been applauding the Latin rhythms and folk flourishes that Las Vegas introduces in a kw songs, arguing that this band is less "commercial" and therefore inherently superior to the Foo Fighters. Others, meanwhile, puzzled by that occasional merger of Latin flavor and rock crunch, have dismissed the band as a well intentioned but unsuccessful experiment. Using one of these bands as a yardstick to judge the other is ludicrous, of course, as is proclaiming Sweet 75 a success simply because it incorporates sounds not often heard on pop radio. But Sweet 75 is no noble failure. Las Vegas' rough-around the-edges singing sounds right at home on this disc's many straight up rockers, particularly on standout like this.

The salsa-flavored rock of "La Vida," while initially jarring, succeeds as well. Too often, though, Sweet 75's brand of rock simply comes up short. Songs like "Take Another Stab," "Nothing" and "Japan Trees" aren't terrible; they're just not particularly memorable. The same cannot be said, though, for "Ode to Dolly," an unbearable stab at faux country that will have you lunging far the fast-forward button. , V a a•skit, ?• w.N, • 3204 Buffalo'Road COMICS Marvel*DC*Dark Horse Independents Subscriptions -- Only $5 Many Golden,& Silver Age Supplies Will Special Order 899-8988 Transcend from Behrend by Andrea DiPlacido Staff Writer Starting from the space: station, planets and asteroids dart by-- as the pilot tries to vanquish the alien outpost that threatens Earth. A wild journey leads the rider through outer space on a quest, in hopes of winning the inter-galactic battle. At Behmnd? Last Saturday. students had the chance of going places without actually being there with the help of a virtual reality experience called the "Transender." The "Transomler," an exclusive attraction from Kramer International, was the first ride of its kind to come to Etehrend. The ride seated four passengers at a time who could choose one of three programs to ride. In addition to the space adventure called "Galaxy Wars," the "Spooky Enchanted Castle" took the rider through dimly lit halls that were guarded by demonic knights. Here, the passenger encountered an ancient wizard and his dragon on the way to a scary destination, which was deep in the castle's dungeon. The third program was the "Illusion Ride." In this storyline the rider didn't know what to expect the scene changed from a plummeting rollercoaster, to a helicopter ride over the lush valleys and waterfalls of Hawaii, to a break neck run on an Olympic bobsled, and then to a desert off-road race. The ride cost the Student Programming Council (SPC), $l5OO to bring to campus, so that each of the 200 plus students who attended could ride free of charge. Roie Gat, 09, MIS, event host said, "SPC's goal is to provide innovative entertainment for the Behnsid campus and surrounding community." If one judges by the comments of Jason Bennett, 01. Plastics, who said, "taking into consideration that it was free and also one of my fast virtual reality experiences, it was an entertaining five minutes," the event was a success.
