PROMO PHOTO OF THE WEEK
The Emerald entertainment desk
gets an avalanche of promotional pho
tos for bands, movies and various “acts”
during any given week. This special
column takes a moment to present the
most bizarre image received.
Our faces froze with gasps of
shock similar to that of the youngest
girl in the photo when we feasted
our eyes on these green monsters. Of
course, cucumbers that can be hol
lowed into canoes and cabbage
leaves big enough to build the clam
shell for a front yard Venus De Milo
sculpture can only mean one thing:
A state fair is on the way.
Sadly, our fair Beaver State has
failed to create such promotion, which
is, at the least, attention-getting. To go
where size really does matter, travel to
Alaska for its state fair Aug. 24- Sept. 3.
Despite the chilly stereotypes, pro
moters boast: “The Land of the Mid
night Sun produces 90-pound cab
bages, 190-pound pumpkins and
other monster veggies. ”
Our suggestion is to make a trek out
of it. Start at the Oregon State Fair, ven
ture north to Washington’s, thenhitthe
big freakin’ greens. In fact, stop by a
county fair along the way and see Styx,
Visit anchorage.net for more infor
mation about the fair or where to get
matching purple plaid flannels.
‘Giant’band set to play Eugene
The band that brought us mu
sical history lessons about
one-term former president
James K. Polk and the name
flip-flop of Turkey’s capital is coming
to Eugene. They Might Be Giants
have been confirmed as the headlin
ing act for the Eugene Celebration on
Sept. 14. A few months ago, band
members John Flansburgh and John
Linnell told CNN they don’t mind be
ing called nerd rockers — or even a
novelty act. But after seven studio al
bums, a slough of live and greatest
hits material and a TV show theme
song here and there, the boys aren’t a
novelty like The Buggies or Len.
They’re simply good. Don’t be a fool;
go see them when they come to town.
TMBG will release “Mink Car”
Sept. 11. Veterans of the band’s live
sets will recog
nize many of the
songs, including
“Cyclops Rock”
and “Another
First Kiss.”
Speaking of
“nerd rockers”
with upcoming
albums, The
Eels announced
this week that
they will release
their new al
bum in 2002,
with the help of
John Parish of P.J. Harvey’s band and

But few are looking as far forward
as Mr. Lang, for they are still aghast
with joy over Tuesday’s *NSYNC
release, “Celebrity.” Because there
isn’t enough *NSYNC-oriented
news in this issue already, Mr. Lang
has accumulated a few tidbits about
the heartthrobs.
In an interview with MTV’s Carson
Daly, *NSYNCer Joey Fatone said
when he gets a case of the blues real
bad, he likes to go on a CD-buying
spree to turn his frown upside down.
Recently, Fatone admitted, he
dropped $500 on albums at a Ware
house Music store just to pull himself
out of the doldrums. But there’s an up
