To Mom, By HUGH HAGGERTY is Matt Johnson’s store-front facade for his very A bouquet own brand of musical angst. Writing, singing and playing various instruments on all his records, he’s sort of an auteur. He is sometimes branded a self-righteous wanker of words. by the British press for not being satisfied with his sizeable cult following and has been known to whine over why his records don’t sell more than they do. Nothing new there. He recently stopped by Los Angeles and gave a press con­ ference to promote his first U.S. release called Soul Mining on . Johnson is a man inspired by life in general. What’s happening to him and around him finds its way into the songs he writes. An earlier , Burning Blue Soul contained mostly love songs and he attributes that to the fact that he was only 19 at the time (he’s now 23), and in the throes of his first big love affair. Soul Mining seems to be

As CROSS' the lyrics to the song “ Soul Mining” go: SIN C E 1S4B Something always goes wrong when things are going right You swallowed your pride to quell the pain inside Someone captured your heart like a thief in the night And sqeezed all the juice out ’til it ran dry.

Since he’s traveling a lot now, that should be pretty easy. However, we’ll have to wait another year or so for his next album.

Being a pop star and “ growing up in public” didn’t really turn him on and that’s the main reason why he chose a pseudonym for his endeavors. As for the name “ The The” itself, he wanted something generic that wouldn’t connote anything specific and give him a lot of freedom to move around in different musical styles.

Many different musicians help out on his , most WE LEND STUDENTS notably, from Squeeze, responsible for a ripping piano solo on “ Uncertain Smile.” Being very picky with his musicians, he says he does it because “ it gives each song a different feel.” He blends melodic synthesizer A HELPING HAND. lines with various acoustic instruments such as piano, vibes, accordion and string instruments. “ I love acoustic A lack of funds used to keep many promising instruments for the feeling you can get from them but students out of college. That's not the case unlike people like Morrisey (from ) and Big anymore. Country, I think synthesizers and technology definitely have their place in pop music,” he said. In a song like Government-backed student loans now enable “ Giant,” he opens with a minimal rhythm track and layers most kids to get the education they need. entirely separate, though harmonic, tracks of vibes, synth, guitar and vocals for a very pleasing result. Johnson sings And Imperial Savings wants to help. about struggling against the contingency and pollution in the world and triumphing over it.

Program Board Every Child Makes A Difference MM It's Always Something" Lawrence Williams will be speaking on parenting and education in a talk entitled “ Every Child Makes a Difference” on Wednesday, May 9, at 7:00 pm. It will be in Broida 1640 and admission is free. Williams, nationally known for his dynamic alternative per­ spectives on children and learning, heads the acclaimed Oak Meadow School in Ojai. Oak Meadow was founded in 1975 by parents / I \ and teachers dedicated to the proposition that our greatest responsibility as human beings lies in releasing the potential within each child. This is done by creating opportunities for close relationships with others in a supportive environment. Oak Meadow, enrolling children in kindergarten through fourth grade, integrates the home experience with child-teacher interaction at school. The Independent Study Program consists of three elements: the home teacher, the curriculum, and the class teacher. The home teacher, usually a parent, uses the Oak Meadow curriculum as material while encouraging the child’s learning. The curriculum is an effectively creative guide to natural learning of Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Music, Art and Crafts. Class Teachers are chosen on the basis of their sensitivity, their understanding of the I fessi 1 learning process and their ability to communicate with others. William’s ideas on encouraging child development center around allowing the unique human excellence of each to emerge. Children should be free, but not without the support of a structured course of study. The instructor should be a friend committed to helping the child to learn and express itself. He views each child as a unique and cohesive whole with unlimited potential. Lawrence is a father of four children, and author of How to Transform Your Child, How to Release Your Child's Natural Genius, Authorith and w B m w Children and others. He combines practicality and inspiration to create a dynamic per­ spective of children, parenting, and the process of learning. If you are ormay someday be a parent or teacher, or if you are just interested, you are A CONVERSATION WITH encouraged to come and hear Lawrence Williams on Wednesday night. The lecture is sponsored by the A.S. Program Board and the Isla Vista Youth Project.
