Tired of leftovers? Here's a Moog Cookbook
Duran Duran "Meditzaland" -Capitol I can't believe these guys are still calling themselves Duran Duran. There are only two original band
Duranie, but neither the music nor the group carries into 1997. The new album, "Medazzaland," sounds as if the tracks were taken directly off of a retro soundtrack. I'll bet the guys are glad that synthesizers are back in style. Even Simon Le Bon is doing his best bloated Elvis impression. The first song, "Electric Barbarella," is just plain bad. Lots of flash and little substance. The members of Duran Duran were much more creative in the '80s, but now they sound tired and in need of cash. The slow, boring "Out of my Mind" sounds like a reject "Seven and the Ragged
Tiger." Well guys, at least makeup for men is back in style.
The Moog Cookbook "-Plays the Classic Rock Hits"-Restless
Back in the groovy '60' a legend was born. Known as the moo svm-
as the Moog Cookbook is bringing this unusual sound to the children of the '90s. "Plays the Classic Rock Hits" is the second album from the Moog Cookbook, and this time the guys are tackling classic rock hits. If you love classic rock, don't buy this album. Basically, the Moog Cookbook has recorded songs like Lynrd Skyndr's "Sweet Home Alabama," Boston's "More than a Feeling" and Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4," all in swank moo style. I won't even get into what they do to Kiss. Not even superstars Van Halen escape the moog's wrath. Their version of "Talkin' About Love" will make you forget all about David Lee Roth. There are no egos here, just music. Because after all, that's what it's all about.
Green Day-“Nimrod”-Reprise
Green Day--Nimrod- Reprise
Who says punk is dead? I do. I do.
Well, maybe not dead, but resting.
"Hitchin' a Ride" is a snappy rock tune, the rest of the album kind of let me down. It is full of mediocre songs like "All The Time" and "Uptight," which are slow to catch on, and even slower to interest the listener. Green Day even experiments with the boring surfing sounds of "Last Ride In." Dick Dale can do it, Green Day can't. I found myself drifting away from the CD and into conversations or other activities. But then I realized that is the purpose of "Nimrod." The
album is perfect for party background music, or cleaning your house. Either way, it's not worth the sticker price.
Salt 'N' Pepa-"Brand New"-London
Salt 'N' Pepa have certainly come a long way since "Push It." In fact, the first ladies of rap have created a
sophisticated and smooth new album with "B r a n d New." in a time when it seems that anyone can become
rapper, Salt, Pepa and Spiderella have avoided the nasty-girl gangsta
rap image. Instead, they have stayed close to their funk and hiphop roots, experimenting with unusual samples and unlikely collaborators. On the track "Image," Sheryl Crow pops up to lend her earthy vocals to the mix. Other stars that have guest appearances are Queen Latifah, Mad Lion, and gospel guru, Kirk Franklin. The title track, "Brand New," is a peppy little number that smartly uses the '70's freedom-rock hit "Love is Alive." Although some of the tracks like "R U Ready" and "The Clock is Tickin," seemed contrived, songs like the sexy "Giddy Up" and the inspirational "Hold On" make the CD enjoyable. If Salt 'N' Pepa can't make you shake your booty, nothing will.

Information on course content to be made available to students
Kansan staff report
The University Council discussed intellectual property issues and approved a course content data sheet yesterday.
The course content data sheet will be given to instructors so they can provide information about their courses. Instructors will not be required to fill out the sheets.
The actual mechanism for distributing the information has not been determined, said Laurence Draper, professor of microbiology and faculty council president.
At previous council meetings discussion has centered around posting the information on a Web site.
The data sheet gives instructors the opportunity to voluntarily provide usual class size, course
topics, teaching style, grading policy, instructor's expectations of students, estimated cost of required class materials, and other comments.
In other business, Carl Locke,
dean of engineering, presented
an overview of intellectual
property issues to the council.
Locke said the Board of Regents would hear a report about intellectual property in January and would try to adopt a policy about intellectual property by June.
Locke said students and faculty with ideas about the intellectual property debate should refer them to a page to be created on the provost's Web site.
The council also referred a course evaluation form presented by Student Body President Scott Sullivan, to the Senate Executive committee for further review.
Apology to victim may take bite out of Marv Albert sentence
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Va. — Marv Albert couldn't keep his job or his dignity after his sexual assault trial bared seamy details of his sex life, but he might keep himself out of jail by apologizing to the woman he attacked and seeking counseling, defense lawyers said.
The former NBC sportscaster could be locked away for as long as a year when he is sentenced today. He pleaded guilty to one count of assault and battery.
Defense lawyers and even a sheriff's deputy said it was unlikely that Albert would do time for the misdemeanor. But
the sentence could be affected by the words and deeds of Albert and his accuser, Vanessa Perhach.
"He needs to acknowledge he has a problem and get some help. That will go a long way to convincing the judge Albert is sincere, said Greg Murphy, who defended John Bobbitt on charges that he abused his wife before she cut off his penis.
Albert's plea last month ended two days of humiliating testimony from Perhach and another woman. Both revealed details about Albert's fondness for three-way sex and wearing women's underwear.
