Camper Van Beethoven
Key Lime Pie
Virgin Records
Music critics now have proof
that they have been blessed: Camper
Van Beethoven has finally
named one of their albums with
less than four words, thus eliminating
many hours of typing.
Seriously though, Camper's latest
album Key Lime Pie shows a '
definite change in their approach (
to their music.
The Santa Cruz band has been a 1
favorite on college campuses for f
the past four years, but with their 1
last album, Our Beloved Revolu- (
tionary Sweetheart, they gained
their first widespread acclaim and 1
major financial success.
Prior to Sweetheart, Camper had (
been known primarily as a "hip- 1
pie" band, associated with a quirky ?
combination of folk and punk that 1
produced the cult hit "Take the 1
Skinheads Bowling." *
. But Sweetheart introduced Camper
to the mainstream of modern 1
rock, with a folk/rock sound which *
was decidedly less punk than their s
other previous two albums, Tele- *
phone Free Landslide Victory and 1
Camper Van Beethoven II and III, g
but still had the hard-edged, guitar- c

)ased sound which has impressed
wen fans of hardcore music.
Camper also used a violin and
nandolin on Sweetheart, played by
he multi-talented Jonathan Segal,
mposing a sort of Gypsy-like flair
>n the album.
The change in style which is
jresent on Key Lime Pie is most
ikely a result of the change in
Hamper's line-up, because Segal
eft the band (along with his manlolin,
keyboards, and acoustic guiar)
and has been replaced by fenale
violinist and singer Morgan

Beware: '(
By DAVID BOWDEN
Staff Writer
The movie Gross Anatomy is the
story of several medical school
students in their first year. It is the
doctor's equivalent to the law
school student movie, Paper
Chase.
Gross Anatomy is better than its
name. The title refers to one of the
classes taken by the students in
which human bodies are dissected.
The plot centers around Joe Slovak
(played by Matthew Modine).
Slovak is a smart, but slobby guy
who got into medical school to
make money. He is the son of a
fisherman, so he is used to blood
and entrails.
His roommate is a driven, hard'
approach
Neither one of them may be
more talented than the other, but
Segal's violin was such a distinguishing
feature of the old Camper
sound, it may take a while for
Fichter to even attempt to take his
place.
Another difference between
Sweetheart and Key Lime Pie is
the vast range in the quality of the
songs. Some of those on Key Lime
Dtii mmti n r "Di nhirao r\f t/-?V*
i tc, ouui aa x xv^tui va ui maw/ir
stick Men" and "Borderline" are as
good, if not better than, those on
Sweetheart. But others, like the instrumcntals
"Opening Theme" and
"Interlude," are just plain boring.
Sweetheart, in contrast, was a
very solid performance where most
of the songs were equal in quality.
Here, there are a number of standout
songs and a number of songs
which you may just want to fastforward
through.
Key Lime Pie is definitely not
another Sweetheart, but it is still
well worth buying.
"Pictures of Matchstick Men" is
positively addictive. Beware of listening
to it more than five times in
a row because you may eventually
wear the oxide off the tape.
The shorter version of the song
which was used in the video, does
not even compare to the version on
the album. 3/4

Dr. Rachel Woodruff (Christine
Lahti) acts really mean to Slovak
because she wants him to be all he
can be. She is the John Houseman
of the movie, but she's better
looking.
The other doctor is Dr. Banumbra,
played by Zakes Mokae,
who was the witch doctor in Serpent
and the Rainbow. The casting
agents have a sense of humor.
The plot consists basically of
scenes of all the students studying
really hard and of Slovak getting

impression that her character really
cares about Slovak.
This is really Matthew Modine's
movie. He was great in Full Metal

and once again he proves he can
be a likeable character. But he
ought to be a bad guy once in

not the case. It has its funny

of some shots of cadavers
