f
Pure

Gandharvas

Two
hot
bands
are
coming
to
Prince
George?
When
I
heard
that,
I
was
certain
it
was
too
good
to
be
true.
I
figured
it
was
a
rumour
similar
to
the
one
circulating
early
in
the
year
that
the
Doughboys
were
coming.
But,
no!
Pure
and
the
Gandharvas
really
did
come.
They
played
at
the
Overdrive
and
tickets
were
only
$8.00.
It
was
really
too
bad
that
Pure
didn't
have
a
band
opening
them
that
was
a
little
less
cool
than
themselves
because
they
were
a
real
let-down
after
the
no
less
than
awesomely
groovy
Gandharvas.
Pure
played
and
basically
that's
all.
They
were
quite
boring
lacking
the
soul
necessary
for
a
band
to
have
during
a
live
show;
not
to
mention
they
were
quite
visibly
Music,

Book
Reviews
by
J.
Verheul,
and
D.
Bliss
Well
it's
a
new
fall
semester,
so
we
figured
that
the
first
thing
to
do
is
clean
,
house.
The
first
order
of
business
is
"that
we
have
changed
the
format.
We
are
no
longer
reveiwing
three
CDs
an
j
issue,
what
we
are
doing
now
is
a
CD,
p
a
book,
and
a
movie
per
issue.
Second
thing
is
that
we
have
changed
the
rat-'
ing
system
from
last
year.
For
those
of
you
who
read
the
reviews
and
their
ratings
last
year
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
how
screwed
up
they
were.
We
have
decided
upon
the
standard
Rolling
v
Stone
rating
system
and
will
base
it
on
the
music
(or
book,
or
movie)
itself,
not
on
how
it
rated
in
compari-'
son
to
the
sick
little
games
last
year's
reviewer
was
into.
Lastly,
until
we
wrangle
up
some
sponsors,
we
will
be
J
reviewing
things
that
we
have
pur-
chased
with
our
own
money,
hopefully
k
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks
we
j
will
have
this
fixed.With
that
all
taken
I
care
of..
.into
the
reviews!
Seeing
that
is
is
a
new
start
and
all,
is
we
figured
that
the
first
review
of
the
year
had
better
be
a
good
one.
So
the
music
reviews
for
this
year
are
going
to
get
off
to
a
better-than-average
start
by
reviewing
the
new
Tragically
Hip
drunk.
Pure
may
as
well
have
been
in
a
recording
studio
for
the
show
they
put
on.
It
seemed
as
though
they
were
too
afraid
to
really
get
into
their
songs.
I
must
say,
however,
that
they
did
f
eCieve
a
most
demanding
encore
from
the
mosh
pit.
Mosh
pit???
There
were
people
moshing
to
Pure?
What's
going
on?
This
wasn't
a
Ministry
concert.
Definately
the
same
kind
of
crowd
that
moshed
to
Hothouse
Flowers,
Crash
Vegas
and
the
Tragically
Hip
at
last
year's
Another
Roadside
Attraction.
Definately
very
uncool.
But
the
Gandharvas;
what
a
band!
Opening
with
an
excerpt
from
the
Dead
Can
Dance,
the
Gandharvas
began
with
some
exciting
drumming
on
three
overtuturned
Heinz
tomato
ketchup
cans
which
were
held
together
with
electricians
tape.
The
band
was
great.
It
was
really
obvious
to
me
that
this
band
was
really
stoked
to.
be
on
stage.
The
lead
singer
has
an
almost
haunting
voice
and
the
bassist
was
so
into
his
music
that
he
continued
to
play
even
when
his
bass
strap
fell
off
three

right,

can
still
call

So
as
to
not
bore
you
with
mindless
prattle
we'll
get
right
down
to
it
-
THIS
IS
A
FANTASTIC
ALBUM
!
Every
song
on
this
album
is
ereat.
While
this
album
is
a
different
sound
from
their
previous
release
"Fully
Completely"
(MCA
Records,
1992)
it
is
by
far
thier
best
yet.
With
songs
like
'Yawning
or
Snarling',
'Scared',
and
'Grace,
too',
these
guys
show
why
the
Americans
are
idiots
for
not
having
caught
on
to
this
band
yet.
So
go
buy
this
album
immediately
upon
reading
this
and
have
a
listen
for
yourself.

Choices
in
movie
entertainment
are
pretty
slim
in
this
town,
so
we
figure
that
any
help
we
can
give
you
to
choose
which
movie
to
see
is
proably
apreciated.
The
movie
we
are
reviewing
this
week
is
"Time
Cop"
starring
Jean
Claude
Van
Damme.
As
far
as
action
movies
go,
this
one
was
only
o.k.
The
premise
is
that
time
travel
is
invented
in
the
future,
and
to
prevent
abuse
of
this
new
technology
the
time
police
are
started.
Van
Damme,
our
hero,
is
sent
back
in
time
after
the
villain,
eventually
defeating
him
after
a
number
of
cliche
action
scenes.
Aside
from
a
lack
of
plot,
it's
still
a
Van
Damme
movie
and
therefore
worthy
of
some
applause.
He
may
not
be
a
character
actor,
but
he
can
definitely
fight
believably.
Overall,
we
would
have
to
rate
this
movie
average..
.as
opposed
to
the
bad
movie
it
would
be
without
Van
Damme.

The
"Books

is
a
collection
of

stories
bordering
on
the
obscene
and
horrific.
With

such
as

The
Crow
by
D.
Ohori,
staff
reporter
Well,
Hello.
This
being
my
first
review,
I
feel
I
should
maybe
introduce
myself
to
my
readers.
I
am
a
guy.
So,
onto
reviewing.
Insted
of
totally
knocking
a
movie
from
my
opinion
of
it,
I'd
much
rather
discuss
the
ups
and
downs;
the
pros,
the
cons;
the
good,
the
crap;
from
a
totally
non-biased
opinion.
The
Crowr
featuring
the
late
Brandon
Lee,(I
won't
say
"starring
Brandon
Lee"
'cause
I
don't
think
he
was
really
much
of
an
actor)
is
a
medium
paced
action
thriller
that
was
released
on
video
two
weeks
ago.
This
movie
is
well
worth
seeing,
(if
you
haven't
seen
a
movie
in
20
years
and
every
other
video
in
the
world
is
already
rented
out).
Although
the
only
half-decent
actor
was
the
crow,
the
action
and
cinematography
were
very
impressive.
In
the
movie,
Brandon
Lee
plays
an
average
Joe
who
is
engaged
to
his
girlfriend.

of
them

(Don't
