You'll be asking yourself this question at some time during your tenure at Laurier — so you might as well start now. Sure your answer will change as time goes by, but that's...OK. So, again, why are you coming to university? Normal Reason Number One For Attending University: to get a formal education. This is ac- ceptable, if a wee bit conventional. Normal Reason Number One can also be titled "to get a job" but any graduate who has been forced to go on to post-graduate studies will tell you, it just doesn't work. University educates; it THE CORD doesn't train. The problem is that most people come here to get a formal education, only. As in sitting in class. As in doing assignments. As in writing exams, and getting graded. A Wirid Laurier University Student Publication 75 University Ave. West, Waterloo, Ont.

  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

  • Barenaked Ladies Write Song for SCORE: a HOCKEY MUSICAL
    STAR PR Tel: (416) 488-4436 Fax: (416) 488-8438 E-Mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________________________ Barenaked Ladies write song for SCORE: A HOCKEY MUSICAL Barenaked Ladies – the multi-platinum-selling band whose 11th studio album All in Good Time streets March 23rd – have written a song for Michael McGowan’s Score: A Hockey Musical, which stars Olivia Newton-John, as well as Canadian music artists Nelly Furtado, Marc Jordan, Hawksley Workman and Dave Bidini, and newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald. The film is shooting in Toronto until March 8. The BnL’s song is sung by Reid, Workman and Bidini in the film’s first few scenes, where 17-year-old Farley (Reid) is playing shinny with the neighborhood rink rats (Workman, Bidini, among others). Little do they know that Farley’s puck-handling skills – much to the dismay of his intellectual parents (Newton-John and Jordan) – will send him from obscurity to overwhelming fame within a matter of weeks. The song’s lyrics are co-written by McGowan and the BnL. As a huge fan of the BNL, Michael McGowan says, “Barenaked Ladies were the first musicians I approached about being involved with the film. The group immediately understood what I was trying to achieve and generously agreed to be a part of it. What they delivered musically far surpassed my already high expectations." Although international stars, the BnL (Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn and Tyler Stewart) are still based out of their hometown Toronto. The film – which combines our national sport with musical numbers – includes Nelly Furtado as an ardent hockey fan and Allie MacDonald is Farley’s best friend.

The serpentine return of The Cousins from the mists of time has also got me thinking lately about another obscure, old family band who haven’t put out an album since 2004 called the Brothers Creeggan. We can live in hope... - Mil NEWS The Ladies have been in the studio all month working on new music! We’ve seen 14 new songs listed so far. Check ‘Features’ on page 3 for the full details.

New details about Rattlesnake Love, the upcoming album by The Cousins, including a March 17th release and full track listing. All the details below. (Apologies for the incorrect date/single last issue. That was the info we had at the time of publication) BUpcoming The Cousins Are Ready to Rattle! Kevin and real-life cousin Harland Williams are set to release Rattlesnake Love into the world on March 17th. 11 songs have slithered their way out of The Purple Pineapple Studios with a sound described as ‘a mixture of the sensual, the occult, the poppy, the rocky.’ With enough interest the duo might do a live show so hit their site, subscribe to their mailing list and order Rattlesnake Love soon!
