Entertainment
Finding good music at the Nice Price
by Rob Farnham
Collegian Staff Writer
You know the scenario:
You're tired of listening, to the
same albums over and over again,
and Rocket 101's playlist just
doesn't fry your burger. But the
recent releases you seek at the
Millcreek Mall are out of the
price range of an impoverished
college student such as yourself.
You need tunes, but where can
you find good stuff you can
actually afford? -
-Allow me to direct you to the
bargain bins in the Mall's record
stores, in which you can find a
number of good-to-excellent
recordings at prices substantially
lower than regular retail,
typically ranging from $3.99 to
$6.99, depending on the store.
Below are brief assessments of
some of the more promising
titles available in the discount
displays as of this past Saturday.
Speaking in Tongues - Talking
Heads
An exceptionally danceable
assemblage of odd world-beat
polyrhythms, quirky keyboard
and guitar riffs, and David Byrne's
eternally skewed lyrics. The
cassette version of this album
contains extended mixes of five
tracks, mixes not available on the
LP or CD. Best cuts include the
hit "Burning Down the House,"
"Moon Rocks," and the long
version, of "Girlfriend Is Better."
For Those About To Rock We
Salute You - AC/DC
Just about everyone ought to
own at least one AC/DC album
(although owning more than five
may well be a sign of arrested
development), for those days
when nothing but loud, obvious,
riffs and crude, rude, lyric
sentiments will do. This one, the
legendary • Back' In Black
notwithstanding, would be an
excellent_ choice. The Young
brothers' combined hollow-and
solid-body electric-guitar sounds
are in fine blues-rock form on
hormonal-overload anthems like
"Let's Get It Up" and "Inject the
Venom," and even rock critics

Live : Under A Blood Red Sky -
U 2
This eight-song cassette, recorded '
on the 'B3 War tour, is only 32
minutes long, but the band's
performances are so sharp- and
intense that it doesn't seem like a
ripoff. Atmospheric and rock
solid, passionate and focused,
this is .U 2 at its best, before
Bono stopped washing his hair
and the Edge took to wearing
dumb hats. All eight cuts are
good, but the live versions of

SOCIETY
"Gloria" and "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" stomp all over the
studio originals.
Fire of Unknown Origin - Blue
Oyster Cult
Big, sometimes pompous techno
rock distinguished by a science
fiction/ gothic horror sensibility
and, more, significantly, by
Donald "Buck Dharma" Rocscr's
high-intensity lead guitars. Fans
of Anne Rice's novels will
approve of the vampire romance
of "After Dark," and the
alternately sweet and sinister
"Burning For You" was a terrific
single, 8.0.C.'s best since
"(Don't Fear) the Reaper."

Beach Boy files suit
Beach Boy Brian Wilson recently filed a suit against his
publishing company, Irving Music. The suit, which asks for $5O
million in lost royalties and $5O million in punitive damages,
charges the company with misrepresentation, breach of contract,
and forgery. The case also alleges that Wilson's father Murry, who
was once the group's manager, repeatedly removed his prosthetic
eye, forcing his son to view the scarred socket as punishment.
RCA symbol returns
Nipper, the familiar dog listening intently to his master's victrola,
will soon return to the labels of RCA records. The dog will
appear on forthcoming RCA Victor and Red Seal Labels, after an
absence of several- years.
Batman to reach video
"Batman," the summer's highest grossing film, is scheduled for
release on videotape by November 15th. Jack Nicholson, who
chose a profit-percentage over a salary for his role as the Joker,
has reportedly made over $5O million from his performance.
