IMPACT! continued from page 7 The most recommend films were cho sen for the Moonlight showings. "These are all films that deserve to be seen on a big screen/' Lords said. "They're great films in a crowd setting." Cinema is not the only attraction to the event. Each screening is preceded by a performance by a live band. For the screening of "Jaws" the folk and bluegrass troupe, the Fiddlin' Big Sue Band, performed until it was dark enough to screen the film. Upcoming musical guests include Beatles cover band the #9 Band, Brooks Robertson and Buster B. Jones. The next two showings, scheduled for Friday and August 6, are Stanley Kubrick's political satire "Dr. Strangelove" and the classic Charlie Chaplin film "Modern Times." All showings are at 8 p.m. at the corner of Broadway and Willamette St. The event is free to the public, with a sug gested $2 donation. ryannyburg@dailyemerald.com A campus tradition—over 100 years of publication. ri CDs continued from page 7 the music seem doubly diverse.

Recent history alsc has its pleasures, as can be witnessec on the latest release from former Top Jimmy & the Idiythm Pigs guitaris Carlos Guitarlos. Guitarlos has spen the past few years singing on a Sar Francisco street comer, and his musii exudes the grimy, oil-streaked feel tha such a history might suggest. litis coupon for $10.00 off your next Piercing!!!

Saturday & Sunday 2-2 Guitarlos is no poet. His lyrics en compass a range of rock and blues cliches stretching back 50 years, but that hardly matters, since the real joy in his music comes from the presenta tion. It's not what he says so much as how is says it and in what context. The context in this case is a form of rock with its roots in a number of home grown American styles. From the Ca jun romp of the opening track, "Damn Atchafaylaya," to the soulful blues ballad, "When the Pain Stops Killing Me," Guitarlos has a rough yet fluid vocal delivery which brings everything together. His distorted, i trashy guitar-playing often, appropri l ately, sounds like an extension of his > voice. While not a perfect album, the t high points make it well worth the ef t fort. Guitarlos will be playing at Sam i Bond's Garage on Saturday, August 14. And finally something with a bit t more of a modern flavor to it. Pedro the Lion's latest release, "Achilles Heel," is an oddball collection of indie-pop that sounds oddly like something I've hear before, but not anything I can pin down. Their songs roll out in mellow, melodic waves, placing atmosphere over tight arrangements. It's an odd choice for pop music, but it turns out to be very rewarding. The lazy, delightfully inane lyrics have the same feeling as the music, falling out of the singer's mouth as if he just thought of them through some dazed inspiration. That in itself would be good enough, but further analysis reveals even more layers of meaning and emotional content within the lyrics with every listen. A great collection of pleasant, intelli gent pop music from beginning to end. The band will play at the WOW Hall, located at 291 W. 8th Avenue, at 9 p.m. on August 10. ryannyburg@dailyemerald.com CONCERTS continued from page 7 concerts, including an appearance by the aptly named Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash on August 9.
