Like Dan Rather, but with music instead
Big news: The Breeders are
getting back together and
coming to Eugene. Music
fans may find the news less
than surprising as talk of a reunion
seemed to stir the moment the band
parted ways.
The news is
that a tour actu
ally came to
gether, and it’s
stopping in Eu
gene. The
Breeders will
pop by the
W.O.W. Hall on
Oct. 26. Tickets
for the all-ages

More minus
cule news: Debbie Gibson is getting
back together... with herself, I guess,
and she’s coming to... well, the clos
est she’ll get is Texas. But, perform
ing under the more mature Deborah
Gibson moniker, Ms. Gib is embark
ing as the opening act for six of
*NSYNC’s Pop Odyssey Tour dates.
More important news: In Friday’s
A&E section of The Oregonian, The
Dandy Warhols’ frontman, Court
ney Taylor-Taylor, was part of a
group interviewed about their dirty
musical pleasures. Mr. Taylor said
none other than *NSYNC.
Although The Dandys can’t even
make the “Hot List” for America’s
Rolling Stone, the band is the top
dog in the U.K. and Australia, where
“13 Tales From Urban Bohemia” is
nearing platinum, and the Aus
tralian Rolling Stone did a feature on
artists’ favorite albums, including
Mr. Taylor. *NSYNC didn’t make
this list, but a few other timeless clas
sics did. He picked, among others,
“Dre 2001 ” from Dr. Dre, “Blonde on
Blonde” from Bob Dylan, “London
Calling” by The Clash, “Back in
Black” from AC/DC and “Voodoo”
from R&B ab-master D’Angelo.

id” from “13 Tales” will be the theme
song for the FOX college show “Un
declared. ” Mr. Lang declares this will
be another instance where the quali
ty of the music outweighs the quality
of the show itself. Time will tell. You
can call him on that one if you want.
Interesting news: One of Mr.
Lang’s Weezer fanatics whispered a
tidbit on the street yesterday that the
band will reshoot the video for the
current “Island in the Sun” single
with video-genius/god Spike Jonze,
who directed the band’s “Buddy
Holly” clip. Jonze just wrapped
shooting on his second film, the fol
low-up to “Being John Malkovich.”
Rolling Stone reported that bassist
Mikey Welsh has left the band and
returned to his hometown due to a
“private medical condition,” mak
ing this, in Mr. Lang’s mind, the Offi
cii Summer of Rehab. As the band
prepares for a massive fall tour and
writes material for a new album, the
boys will look for a new bassist—
their third since their debut album.
Annoying news: Tori Amos has
joined an elite club of artists to an
nounce major tours without an Ore
gon stop. Amos, with Rufus Wain
wright, will hit Vancouver, British
Columbia, on Nov. 8, Seattle on Nov.
9 and Oakland, Calif., on Nov. 11.
Back From the Dead News: The
Smashing Pumpkins will release a
two-disc set on a yet-to-be-deter
mined fall date. The first will be a
greatest hits collection with a
bunch of new photos in the liner
notes. The second disc, currently ti
tled “Judas,” will be a B-sides col
lection from the latter part of the
band’s discography, much like
“Pisces Iscariot” covered the lost
but-not-forgotten tracks from the
Pumpkins’ first albums. The dis
banded group also have plans to re
lease a DVD of all their music
videos with documentary footage
about the making of the clips.

A&E briefs
Addition of EMU music store
will be delayed
Plans to place a music store in
the EMU have been put on hold un
til fall classes start, but EMU Busi
ness Manager Susan Racette said
the project has not been scrapped.
The deadline for businesses to
apply for the store passed without
any bidders, Racette said, even
though she had sent information
packets to most of the music stores
in Eugene and Portland looking for
a business interested in opening a
“branch store” in The Break.
The Break is the only EMU service
that is losing money. To solve that,
EMU administrators planned to re
model the back room of The Break,
move the arcade games to that room
and turn the arcade into a music store.
Racette said some businesses
told her the changing music tech
nology kept them from taking the fi
nancial risk of opening a new store.
The EMU Board will put the music
store at the top of its agenda in the fell.
