Giving new Doctors’ CD a spin might make you sick
By Sara Jarrett
Oregon Daily Emerald
The success of songs “Little
Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two
Princes” put the Spin Doctors’ al
bum “Pocket Full of Kryptonite”
on the flash-in-the-pan shelf in
1991, and they haven’t left that
spot since. Not even close.
The New York City group
should have stopped after two
subsequent attempts at fame
flopped. Both albums “Turn It
Upside Down,” released in 1994,
and “You’ve Got to Believe in
Something,” released in 1996,
“were almost ignored by the pub
lie,” according to Rolling Stone
magazine.
Now, nine years after their two
hit songs were on the lips of every
teenager in America, the Spin
Doctors are back for another try.
However, the only thing they’ve
hit with their latest album, “Here
Comes the Bride,” is a brick \\all.
Released on Das/Universal, this
new offering is painfully reminis
cent of a handful of recent chart
topping bands. Don’t the Spin
Doctors have a sound of their
own?
The song titled “Wow” suggests
a watered-down version of Sub
lime without the fanfare. The
Spin Doctors could be gravitating
toward the popular brass ska
sound, but one can’t be sure. It
seems like they are willing to try
anything to lure an audience at
this point.
“Here Comes the Bride” has
tracks that run the full gamut of
musical categories from the soft
metal sounds of “Waiting for the
Blow” and “Dodging Assassins,”
to the Christian rock vocals of
“Key to the Kingdom.” Versatility
is good, but only when a band’s
talent can justify the undertaking.
The Spin Doctors’ efforts to go out
on this limb seems minimal at
best. Most of the tracks have
promising beginnings but in
evitably result in disappointment.
In fact, none have catchy
enough tunes or outstanding
lyrics to be hit singles. The song
titled “Diamond” comes the clos
est, but, like all the other songs on
this album, inconsistency re
mains its downfall. An appealing
chorus can’t make up for lame
verses, and the song is quickly for
gotten.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July I). The spot
light is on you this year. Money could come in.
a legacy, perhaps, or it could be information
that leads to greater success. Either way. you’ll
have a hard time hiding. You have to go public
in July. In August, there’s friction between sav
ing and spending. You want to do both simulta
neously. You might find a way. too. In Septem
ber and October, a change in your domestic
environment is likely, either a move or a reno
vation. In December, there's plenty of work
and a couple surprises. In February, you’ll get
more attention again, and possibly another
prize. May is a good time to settle into a rela
tionship that will last a lifetime.
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10
is the easiest day. 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21 -April 19) — Today is a 7
— You’re an analytical person, but today, it’s
emotions that might win. Your intuition may
need practice to become perfect, so pay atten
tion to what’s going on around you. Here’s a
clue: The people doing the most talking arc
probably having the least effect. The ones with
the most power arc probably keeping quiet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— It’s important to express your point of view,
but sometimes it can get you into trouble. Why
notask for advicc?A sibling or close friend has
gone through a similar situation and would be
a good person to consult. Remember to support
the overall goal instead of just resisting the au
thority of one pushy person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) —Today is a 7—
The Moon is in Aquarius, which is generally
good because it broadens your perspective. It
helps you see the big picture. Today, that point
of view could bring more money your way.
The combination of a higher education and a
partnership could lead to an increased income.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6
— You’re in the spotlight. People ask for ad
vice about how to spend their money. You can
give them what they need — and get what you
need. too. What you know is valuable. Don't
give it all away for free.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 —
There arc chores to finish, and some of them
arc weighing heavily on your mind. The solu
tion to this problem could lie beyond your ex
pertise. so it’s OK to ask someone for help.
There isn’t any reason for you to do it all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Scpt. 22) —Today is a 6—
Is there a job you need done that a friend eould
handle? Go ahead and delegate. You’ll have to
manage the operation, of eoursc. just to make
sure everything goes on schedule. Your friend
may be creative, but it’s best if the organiza
tional details ate left up to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 7 —
Today, you've got an advantage in your career.
Act on it quickly. This window of opportunity
won’t stay open forever. In fact, it won't stay
open much later than tomorrow. You may have
a little slack, but there’s no point in using it. The
prize today could go to the one who's first in
line, so don't procrastinate.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5
— Today, sending money far away could gen
erate more money. If you invest in something
special, a correspondence course or books or
dered through the mail, you could understand a
different aspect of your job and be more pro
ductive. Being more productive anil efficient
would bring in more money.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Today
is a 7 — Today’s conditions push you to learn
about finances. This is not your favorite sub
ject. You’d rather be talking or thinking about a
motorcycle trip across Africa, or some similar
adventure, but if you 're ever going to do that,
you'll have to save up some money. Today,
you might find a way to make that happen.
CAPRICORN (Dee. 22-Jan. 19)—Today isa
7 — A partnership or legal matter could require
a lot of time, attention and money today. If it’s a
debt you owe. you’ll have to pay it. If it's ser
vices you’re contracting to buy. hopefully
you’ve already shopped around. It doesn’t look
like there’s much time left for that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Fcb. IH) — Today is a 6
— It’s a good day for you to take care of other
people. You like to solve big problems and
make the world a safer place for everyone, but
this isn’t quite the same thing. This time, you
need to take care of individuals, possibly one
individual in particular.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
— Today, you may feel compelled to act in a
romantic matter. You’ve been thinking about it
for some lime. You’ve probably got all the pros
and cons worked out. but you may still hesitate
to act. Well, guess what? Forces beyond your
control tire pushing you to act. Might as well re
lax and enjoy it.
