If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This especially pertains to travel, higher education and true love. The first setback is educational, but by the end of April you should have found the information you need. Stick to your budget in May, ignoring temptations to splurge. After a debt is paid in June, go out and celebrate. Where do you want to live, how, and with whom? Choose wisely in July. Recommit to a goal in August, and to your mate in October. The other way around works too. Break out of the ordinary in December. Friends inspire you in February to do good deeds for others. That's what you'll value most highly when you add up your Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6. Problems surface, but that's good. You want them out where you can see them. Don't believe everything you read. Check for errors. Encourage a distant friend to proceed with caution. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5. Keep your cards close to the vest for a little while longer. Keep your money in your pocket, too. It's not quite time to make your move. Meanwhile, gather information. Listen through keyholes. You'll get an earful. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a G! Whatever can go wrong, most likely will. Things won't be where you left them, or get to where they should be going. A friend will come to your rescue just in the nick of time. This is one of those days when you'll find out who your real friends are. Be one; too. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. Your favorite brat will be in a better mood after the big job is completed. Unfortunately, all is not going smoothly. Don't cringe; it's not your fault. Remind the impatient one to chill out. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. You've got lofty dreams, and you want them all to come true right now. That's not going to happen. If it were that easy, where would the challenge be? The challenge is what makes them lofty dreams. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. This is another of those scrambled days. Everybody is hurrying off in different directions. They're worried, but are they efficient? Are they getting anything done? You can figure that out. If you steer them straight, you'll be the hero. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7. There's more work and less fun, unless you can make the work fun. Creativity is required, and that's a plus. What you already know doesn't work, which is a minus. That rowdy partner of yours could have the answer. That can either be a plus or minus, depending on you. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. Today, you're the one who offers comfort. Isn't it strange how that happens? One day you take, the next day you get a chance to pay back. Provide something a loved one needs — at no charge. Saailittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6. Sagmarus (NOV. 22-Dec. 21) Today is day You're getting into the tough part. This is when you really appreciate all that homework and planning you've done. You have done the homework and planning, haven't you? Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. Work-related hassles have you jumping. There'll be all sorts of surprises, and maybe even some breakage. If you pay attention, you can prevent disaster. Conditions are changing for the better, but it will take a little white. Aquarius [Jan. 20-Feb. 18] — Today is a 7. Once you get the financial situation straightened out, everything will go smoothly. With luck, you'll enter into this state of bliss during the weekend. Meanwhile, keep smiling, and keep dialing. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7. You may be slightly tweaked by a couple of irritations. You might even feel pushed to make a change Maybe that's not a bad idea. It's important that you are treated with respect. Insist upon it. If you aren't getting it where you are, why are you there? Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.

Clutch has returned to defend the dying rock culture with its newest release, Pure Rock Fury. The most admirable element of the band is its ability to tell stories. Lead vocalist Neil Fallon explains in an interview with Atlantic Records, "I make up some kind of fiction and then act like I know what I'm talking about. I would rather tell a story than sing about my life or how I feel." Since their second release, Transnational Speedway: Anthems, Anecdotes and Undeniable Truths, Clutch has slowly progressed toward a funk-based style of rock until The Elephant Riders, their previous release. With Pure Rock Fury, little Clutch is a refreshing blend of top 40 or politically motivated rock. has changed since The Elephant Riders, except a new storybook of tales and epics. Fallon's voice is the most distinguishable characteristic of the band's sound. He is able to shift from a flex of brawn to an obviously embellished southern twang in "The Great Outdoors." He also calls to unity like an Irish pub herald in "Drink to the Dead." Guitarist Tim Sult continues his whaling riffes as well as Maine's barn-stomping bass and Gaster's thunderous drumming. Clutch fans will be more than grateful to add Pure Rock Fury to their collection. But, because Clutch does not market its music to a mass audience and plays only small venues, the album is very difficult to prescribe for first-time listeners. They are a "word-of-mouth" type of band but can be worth the risk. The best advice for the inquisitive listener would be to purchase The Elephant Riders and then move to Pure Rock Fury whenever it feels right. Nick Krug Essential Mix intended for dance club scene Various Artists Essential Mix Mixed by Peter Tong (Sire Records) This CD bills itself as an "essential selection of global dance classics." It isn't. Sorry. Not that this is a bad assortment of club music. English DJ Pete Tong has, after all, made a career for eight years of picking dance hits for his BBC Radio 1 program and recently started his own label, FFFR. He's probably the most respected man in English club circles — not a bad guide to the music. The disc starts with ambient dance and ends with the same. It is often difficult to tell where one song stops and another starts. Most of it is in the purely English mode; fans or serenely textured Orbital or harsh bands like Cubanate might be bored or disappointed. The old "American Bandstand" comment really does apply here to describe the collection's virtues. It has a good beat. You can dance to it. If you happen to be a DJ looking for a good selection of hot club tunes, this is a good buy. Tong knows what clubbers like and has packed his CD full of it. All of the songs are recent, within the last year, so the CD also serves as a handy sampler of the best of recent global dance. A true club-music fanatic who doesn't own all of the songs already — or who wants the remixes — would do well to pick this up. However, club dance However, club dance music is intended for. well, dancing in a club. The music on the CD makes your feet fly but does little for your heart, ears or brain. For casual listening, it's far from ideal. Buy it, listen to it once or twice, then give it to your local club DJ as a gift. You'll both be better off that way. Mike Loader
