Swan song: An East
Coast odyssey begins
Like so many promising solo
careers, Mr. Lang’s has been
cut short by extenuating cir
cumstances. In this case,
the promise of a political journal
ism internship
in Washing
ton, D.C., has
pulled him
away, which *
means giving
up the opining
hat for another
stint as a legiti
mate reporter.
The job also
means Mr.
Lang is miss
ing a truckload
of jaw-drop
pingly lus
cious shows
stopping in the Northwest this
September and October, and he’s
plum stompin’ mad about it. So
here’s Mr. Lang’s “I can’t make it,
drop me a postcard” fall must-see
concert guide. Clip and save.
In Eugene, the big concert of the
fall will be They Might Be Giants
at the Eugene Celebration on Sept.
14. Or catch their show at the Crys
tal Ballroom in Portland two days
later.
On Oct. 26, The Breeders will fi
nally return to glory and rock the
W.O.W. Hall for an all-ages show.
Amid the usual plate of pop
rock, Portland will host a hip-hop
nostalgia trip on Sept. 2 when Sir
Mix-A-Lot, Tone Loc and Young
MC all stop by Tom McCall Water
front Park. Smokey Robinson will
slide smoothly into town on Sept.
6. And indie fans can enjoy Mod
est Mouse, Belle and Sebastian,
Mike Watt and Nick Cave and the
Bad Seeds throughout the month
as well.
Then, the magic of Bumbershoot
and a special benefit concert will
hit Seattle. Bumbershoot will fea
ture Damien Jurado, Built to Spill,
MxPx, The Red Elvises and so
many others worth seeing that
they just can’t all cram into this
single column.
Oct. 14-22, Seattle will again
stake its claim as a rock capital
when the impressive lineup of

Face the Music opens
in new location
The new-slash-old Face the Music
store has opened its doors at 886 E.
13th Ave., a scant few doors up the
block from its previous location.
The new location, next door to
Taylor’s Bar and Grille, is where the
store used to be about six years ago,
said Face the Music employee Bri
an Mumford.
Mumford said the $4,000 the
store will save each month in rent
was a major factor in the decision to
migrate back. He added that the
store still has the same selection of
new and used albums, just in a
smaller building.
“It’s intimate. It’s cozy,” Mum
ford said.
The move has also been sparked
by a nationwide sales decrease at
music stores, Mumford said. This
month, the EMU tried to find bid
ders in the Eugene and Portland ar
eas to open a music store in The
Break, but the EMU couldn’t attract
a single bidder interested in open
ing a new location of its store on
campus. Many store owners said
the downturn in sales has them
wary of expanding.
“We’ve been feeling that as well,”
Mumford said.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug 22). You're a
real whiz kid this year, so study something use
ful. Learn a trade you can make a living with
while you're furthering your other ambitions.
You're pretty lucky, but that's not how you'll
make your money. Don't gamble with your
heart, either. Bet on a technical friend to help
you with the stuff you don't understand. That
friend is a keeper.
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 6 —
You're about to go into your annual full-on
work phase. This is not like the spring, when
you're full of energy and enthusiasm for all
your new projects. This is more difficult. This
is when you get those projects accomplished.
Having a good partner heips. Find one before
you jump in.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6
— You're still cranking, trying to catch up. You
work well under pressure, right? You might do
more in one day than you do the rest of the
week. Make it happen, and you can take an ex
tra-long lunch tomorrow. Ask for a raise or pro
motion. too. If you've proven you can do the
work, the odds are in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 —
Don't get too pushy with an attractive person.
It's too early. Besides, there's a job to be done
on Thursday and Friday that will interfere. In
nuendo is fine for now. Don't make promises
you can't keep. Keep it light.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 —
Is there something you could get for your home
that would make it a little cozier, make being
there a little more special? How about new
frames for some favorite family photos’’ A bas
ket of silk flowers? You’ll find the perfect thing.
It won't take long, and it won't be too
expensive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—Today is a 7 — The
hardest part is over. You've made your point or
your sale, or maybe you even converted some
non-believers. If you haven't yet. you soon will.
Wrap things up so you can get into a new proj
ect. Your focus is about to shift again.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
We were discussing money, remember? It's
about time you asked for a raise. Don't say any
thing to the boss, though. Ask your friends not
to say anything either. Just keep your eyes open
for a potential problem. If you catch it before it
gets big, your value to the company will be ob
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7 —
You’ve made it past most of the major irrita
tions. However, you might clash with an older
woman. Don't make big decisions or changes
now. There's one more thing you need to learn
from this older woman before you move on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 2D — Today is a 7
— You know more than most people think you
do. Use what you've recently learned to further
your own agenda — discreetly, of course. You
can also get something nice for your home at
wholesale price. Don't make it a gift for your
sweetheart, though. Take roses instead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 6 — Don't believe everything you see or
hear. Something that looks like a lot of fun
could lead to a world of trouble. It would be
stupid to do something slimy just because
everyone else does. Heed the little voice telling
you to play by the rules.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Today is
a 6 — If you're schmoozing to achieve some
goal, give it up. You're apt to have the opposite
effect. Instead, do the best you can and let na
ture take its course. Plan to get together with
friends Friday night.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7
— Prospects look good, but don't push too
hard. A business relationship is fragile, so don't
ask for more than this person is willing to give.
Instead, rely on an outside supplier to get what
you need. A person you've known for years, or
a company you've dealt with before, is your
best bet.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
— Get something nice to fix up your house, but
remember to get your sweetheart's input on
your selection or there will be trouble.
