. WESTERN 14 CAROLINIAN GET A LIFE March 29, 2000 Music Review Feelin' Good Thanks to Gran Torino's 'Two' by Hannah Crane Staff Writer As the spring rain falls, and it seems like the recent warm weather was just a tease, all you have to do to think "summer" is put in the latest album from Gran Torino entitled Two. The rock and soul feel powered by jazz, R &B and retro-pop influences put the listener in the mood for an outdoor party. I would like to compare them to the likes of other great bands and musicians like Chicago and Stevie Wonder, but, I hesitate to categorize them and make comparisons because truly their sound is their own. This album is so complete; even the feel-good songs have deeper meanings. The album also includes pure instrumentals that showcase their ability to tell stories without any words. The first track on the album, called "Coup d'etat" comes on strong with energetic horns, then they pick it up with some bass and percussion. This is one of those instrumental numbers I mentioned earlier; it was genius to put it on the first Gran Torino track because after the first minute, the listener is hooked. The next song, "Phyliss," is one of those that makes you want to dance, but then when you read the words, you understand a deeper issue. The delivery makes it a little hard to understand the words, but I don't see that as a big problem because the song sounds good anyway. The vocal bridge takes the tempo down a few notches and creates a jazzy feel to counteract the peppy theme of the song. The song "Moments with You" has already acquired air time on radio stations throughout the southeast. It has a funk appeal that is really cool. The more I listen to this song the more I like it. The instrumentation and vocals give it staying power. The lyrics are not deeply philosophi cal or brain-cramping: "Taking time to miss you/ has become a regular thing/the longer that you're gone baby/ the more the waiting stings." On a more serious note is the song "Days of the Tested" which can make you think if you let it, but it also rocks. The chorus says:".. .these are the days of the tested/ showing me the new parts of my heart." What a great anthem for finding yourself through struggles. I saw Gran Torino perform on campus last year and I was impressed with their energy and ability to appeal to all kinds of listeners. This is one of those CDs that is a great soundtrack for doing homework, or hanging out with friends, or as I said earlier, having an outdoor party. It's also a great solution to the never-ending search to get a different sound in your musical library. They aren't exactly Top 40, or R&B, or funk. They are a great mix and if this album is any indication, they'll definitely make a mark on the East Coast music scene. Two is available at In Your Ear Music Emporium. Video Review 'Body Shots' Takes Aim At America by Annie Sechrist Staff Writer Is there something morally wrong with a movie that has two versions, one that is released for its "theatrical attributes" and the other for its "steamy, never-before-seen" sex quality? Reflective of American culture, the most sacred and beautiful union between two souls is violated and turned quickly into profit as viewers watch in mock disgust the stolen moments on screen. No longer can producers claim the scenes to have an artistically based importance to the film, because sold right next to the "theatrical" version of the movie, is the same story with more sex. "Body Shots" is the most recent Michael Christofer release that portrays the ritualistic mating of people in their twenties. The characters: a waitress, two lawyers, a football player, and a couple of other nameless professionals are symbolic of the generation as a whole. Now call me cynical, but the last time I looked around and saw that many anorexic, bleached-blond, plastic people was when a 90210 marathon photo courtesy New Line Cinema Brad Rowe, Sean P. Flannery, and Jerry O 'Cornell in 'Body Shots.' was running on TV. I am not quite sure how the casting was reflective of American culture, but I am very certain that they helped in movie ticket sales. The eight characters (four girls and four guys) meet op for a night on the town. There is the oh-so-typical drinking and bantering, and the viewer sighs as flash backs from every movie made during the last ten years comes to mind. But suddenly there is a shift in the story line and you realize that it is not what is being shown that is important, but rather what is not on film. The partying is only there to show the cause to a horrific effect. I sat in complete stupor the last half of the movie, as the full genius of this film slowly dawned on me. The movie is holding a mirror up to the face of America and saying look at what you have become; gone is the sense of morals and goodness that you once possessed, and in its is place is the need for immediate and personal gratification. The only problem with this outlook on the movie is that the producer's intent is completely overshadowed by his greed. "Body Shots" is the film that has two versions, one for theatrical value and the other for sex. No wonder there is a market for shows like "Jerry Springer" and "Sex in the City" in American society. We have become so desensitized to the travesties in the world around us that, when we set out to make a movie creating awareness, we end up stepping on our own feet and creating a hypocrisy.
