PULSE BRIEF
35th annual Bach Festival
begins tomorrow
The 35th annual Oregon Bach Fes
tival will open tomorrow with a per
formance by the Pacific International
Children's Choir at the Huh Center.
The festival, headed by founder and
conductor Helmuth Rilling, will run
through July 11 with performances at
the Flult Center for the Performing
Arts, the Beall Concert Hall, Central
Lutheran Church and the First
United Methodist Church.
"Since this is our 35th year, we've
decided to look back at some of the
masterpieces we've performed in the
past," spokesman George Evano said.
According to Evano, the festival's
highlights include a performance of
Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" on Fri
day and a performance of Mozart's
"Requiem" by the Festival Chorus and
Orchestra on July 2.
Other recommended events include
Jeffrey Kahane's performance of Bach's
"Goldberg Variations" on July 1 and a
July 2 Composers Symposium titled
"The George Crumb Commissions,"
which will feature three concerts of
works by Crumb, performed by the
Third Angle Music Ensemble.
Tickets prices for the Bach Festival
vary, ranging from free to $55 for in
dividual concerts. Complete festival
passes are also available. Pricing and
a concert schedule can be found at the
festival's Web site, http://www.ore

ALBUMS
continued from page 5
Detachment Kit seems to have trouble
doing on its effort, "Of This Blood."
Many of the songs on the album feel
like half-baked ideas which need to
be shoved back into someone's brain
so a little more thought can go into
them. It would have been worth the
extra effort, because the handful of
songs that do work are excellent.
The group is one of the rising num
ber of bands that are taking the emo
prototype and doing something inter
esting with it. But unlike the band's
distant compatriots in the Blood
Brothers and the Appleseed Cast, De
tachment Kit doesn't really seem to
know what it's trying to accomplish.
The lyrics are all intelligent and cool,
albeit essentially meaningless, and the
group boasts some decent instrumen
tal chops, but in the end, it just does
n't go anywhere.
Finally, in another area of the music
spectrum, we have 1 See Hawks in L.A.,
a California country outfit peddling its
spacey vocals and George Jones
stylings on its sophomore effort,
"Grapevine." It shouldn't be too sur
prising that the only people doing any
thing interesting in the country genre
are far outside the reaches of Nashville.
The self-possessed star-makers in that
town have been successfully sucking
the blood out of modern country for
well over three decades now, creating
some of the blandest music to ever be
spewed across the airwaves.
1 See Hawks has stepped away from
all that, harking back to artists like the
above mentioned Jones, Charlie Rich
and other members of what will proba
bly be the last wave of great country
musicians. Occasionally the band even
digs deeper than that, throwing out
some Bill Monroe-style bluegrass just to
keep things interesting. While at times
the album feels pretty much like any
other country release, the band keeps
throwing in the off-putting distorted
guitars or weird, abstract lyrics, keeping
listeners constantly on their toes. While
there really isn't a whole lot of new
ground being broken, the ground that
is already there is made comfortable
enough to traverse for the time.
I See Hawks in LA. will be perform
ing July 2 at Cafe Paradiso at 115 West
Broadway.

has a distinct attraction as a
comic form, something which
really came to head in the
1970s with Monty Python's
Flying Circus ("And now for
something completely differ
ent") and the endless stream of
absurdity flowing from the
Zippy the Pinhead comic strip.
These days, comedy has
become more pedestrian and
outright absurdity seems to
have sadly fallen out of favor.
Yet the non sequitur remains a
vital force, through both the
above-mentioned musical
works and in everyday use.
There is a subtle art to crafting
a good non sequitur. It requires
an amount of free associative
ability, a sense of the absurd
and an ear for the inane chatter
of everyday conversation.
There are various styles within
which to work, from the
literary ("Eat your porridge
quickly for there are bears near
by") to the sociopolitical
("Everyone loves a man with a
gun in his hand") to the out
right absurd ("Midget golf pros
are peaceful creatures").
But, as with so many things
these days, remember to keep it
short and to the point.

for submissions from people in Eugene
who have made their own films."
In any case, the late-night shows are en
route to becoming a staple of the Bijou's
film schedule. Staff and management
alike said they were interested in keeping
the showings around.
"It would be great if people began to
appreciate what an opportunity it is to
see these kinds of films again on the big
screen," Bijou projectionist Scott
McGahan said.
The Bijou's late night shows are every
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are
$4 for Friday and Saturday shows and $3
for Sunday shows.
