Dream Syndicate at The Rat, Kenimore Square, February 19, 1983. DREAM The vibes coming from California say that hardcore is becoming passe. It is no longer an underground movement; every Dream Syndicate released a four-song teenager living west of Reno and south of EP about a year ago, and "That's What Olympia seems to have bought some boots You Always Say" made them famous. It and chains, joined a HC band, and put was a good psychedelic girl-song, and had out a 45 (A-side: "I Hate Cops," B-side: a long guitar break featuring tons of feed- "'No More Government"). N ow the search back. Their LP was released last fall, and is on for a replacement,and that's where had a very different sound: some songs the psychedelic revival comes in. Could have passed for Rolling Stones cov- ers, and the I-o-n-g guitar breaks of the first EP had been condensed or eliminated in most songs. In all, they seemed to have gone for a pop sound.

I liked Dream Syndicate's live show, but not for the reason I had expected. I Fig- ured they'd be a good pop dance band that would play cute songs like those on the LP. What i saw instead was a show that was even more psychedelic than their EP. In a one-hour set, they played about seven songs, each with more fuzz and feed- back than the la'st. The Rat recently in- stalled an amazing stage lighting system, and this was the first time I have seen it used to its potential. The crowd was hyp- notized. Few danced, but everyone stared.

Direcred by Franc Roddam.- Screenplay by Thomas Pope and Lloyd Fonveille. Para- mEount Pictures release. "The Lords of Discipline" can be com- pared to football's Pro Bowl. All the talent is present and all the potential for a great ball game is there, but the players don't quite seem to have their hearts in the event. When they could have a touch- down, they settle for a field goal. No one wants to put forth that extra effort to turn something rather humdrum into some- thing special. This movie fails for much the same reasons. Instead'of being a hard- hitting story of military life, this film ends up as " 'Taps' Goes to College." I The movie takes place in the early six- I ties at the Carolina Military Institute, a West Point clone, whose harsh methods of i discipline contrast violently with the lush, langorous beauty of Old Charieston. Da- vid Keith plays Will McClean, a senior ca- det at the Institute, who is called upon to perform an unenviable task. Colonel Bar- rineau, better known as the Bear, chooses Will to protect a, new cadet - or knob, as the freshmen arecalled -who is black. Fearing that the campus terrorist group, the Ten, will try to influence the young knob- to rethink his decision about enter- ing the Institute (I often wish, I did), the Bear orders Will to keep an eye on the boy in order to maintain the school's reputa- tion of welcoming boys of all races and creeds, The origins of the Ten are shrouded in this new cadet puts his close friendships in home Tennessee charm shine through the cue cards.
