  • October 17, 2001 GET A LIFE 11 Music Reviews Cursive: Screaming Never Sounded So Good by Jenni Giles Staff Writer Cursive, an indie-rock band stationed in Omaha, Nebraska and signed to Saddle Creek Records, a label which houses some of the most influential, most poignant bands of today, released their latest EP in the late summer of 2001 and is getting great response. Cursive was formed in 1995 and consists of Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar), Matt Maginn (bass, vocals), Steve Pedersen (guitar, vocals) and Clint Schnase (drums). In their latest release "Burst and Bloom," it is obvious that they as a band are truly growing and developing. In previous recordings there is a definite feeling of anger and frustration; in "Burst and Bloom," written after Kasher's failed marriage, there is a sound of sadness and loss of hope that is not only heard in his heart- wrenching screams, but also in the newly added band member Gretta Cohn's cello solos and background wails. "Burst and Bloom" begins with one of their catchiest tunes, titled "Sink to the Beat," a song that is obviously having a bit of fun with those reviewers and skeptics who constantly say that ashamed of. The four songs that follow are somewhat serious in tone and in lyrics but are still presented in an upbeat way, so optimistic-sounding that you could almost forget Kasher's the band has a "DC sound." In this song Kasher also admits that Cursive does have a "Fugazi, and Chapel Hill around the early 90's" sound, which he is not pain if you failed to listen to the words. But when the cello comes in his pain and sadness is quickly remembered. The lyrics of this EP are some of the best I have heard combined with wailing guitars and upbeat drum melodies. Lyrics like, Let's pretend we're not needy / Let's pretend our hearts still beat / Let's pretend we fall in love tonight / Clumsy enough to fall for anything. Makes my heart flutter. When Kasher screams lines like, This is the bed that I have made/ This is the grave where I will lay/ These are the hands where I will bury my face/I don't believe in wasting time/ Searching for truth you will never find, it is impossible not to feel his pain and his confusion. I can honestly say that listening to this EP is not a waste of time; it could quite possibly be the best 21 minutes of one's life.

Old Iggy Pop Brings Solo Act to Atlanta, Charlotte by Eric Newsom Features Editor I went to see the Rollins Band this summer at Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte. It was a terrible show, with terrible music, and I knew it was going to be that way before I went. "Why go?" some may ask. Well, in the annals of musical history Henry Rollins is a legend for his work w«h bands in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles and even though he's gotten older and grayer, I figured it would be an experience to see the legend in action. I was right; Rollins was so entertaining and had such a stage presence that he almost pulled the show °ff, despite having a terrible band. Almost. A performer with three times the legendary status of the lowly Henry Rollins is coming to Atlanta and Charlotte— Iggy Pop. That's right, the leader of the Stooges during the late 60s and sometime "star of Pete and Pete will be bringing his "lust for life" to the Earthlink Live Centerstage in Atlanta, and Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte on Oct. 28 and 29, respectively. With a history of lurid, sometimes arrest-worthy stage shows and 25 years worth of decent material under his belt, Iggy's show, like the Rollins Band's, should at least prove to be entertaining, if not the greatest musical production. With the Stooges, Iggy Pop (birthname: James Newell Osterberg) kept rock music simple and spirited in a time when the Zeppelins and Floyds of the world were all about technique and deeper meaning. Along with fellow Detroit band The MC5 and NYC's New York Dolls, they inspired a younger generation of musicians like the Ramones who kept the same ideals through the flamboyant era of disco. Pop's influence earned him the moniker of "The Godfather of Punk." As much a visual icon as a musical one, perhaps the most memorable image of Iggy in his hey-day is him as a younger man, standing on the shoulders of his audience, shirtless and chest bleeding, pointing defiantly to the world outside while the Stooges rocked along in the background. The Stooges probably won't be backing Iggy up on the tour, but reviews say that for a man of 54, Pop still gets half-naked and throws himself around on the stage well. That's better than what the reviews said of the last movie he appeared in, Nickelodeon's "Snow Day."
