If you were driving through the
Orangeburg County Fairgrounds
this past weekend, it may have
looked like the residents were
trapped in a 1930s time warp.
Peagusus Productions, a film
company out of Los Angeles, was
filming the motion picture Wild
Hearts Can't Be Broken, which is
scheduled for release in April.
British actress Gabriella Anwar,
sixteen Candles star Micheal
Shoefling and Cliff Robinson star
in the movie, which is based on a
true story.
The heat and humidity didn't
keep more than 500 extras from
Spartanburg, Columbia, Orangeburg
and Georgia away from the
filming on Friday.
Tona Hill, extra casting director,
said that about 10 USC students
were involved in the making of the
movie. Hill said more students weren't
involved because of the filming
schedule.
"Working on a day that conflicted
with classes, not getting (
paid, made the turn-out lower,"
Hill said. But she added that the
students working with the movie
were doing a good job.
"They have been very helpful
and really hard workers, Hill said.

Something Happens!
Stuck Together With God's Glue
Virgin Records, Ltd.
I try hard not to review albums
that people are not going to be
able to find, but I have to make an
exception in this case. This album
has been out for more than three
months, but I just found a copy of
it last week, despite searching all
summer in practically every record
store on the East Coast.
I could give you a clue as to
where you might find it in Columbia,
but that would be free advertising,
wouldn't it?
You may remember reading my
review of Something Happens!'s
last album, been here seen that
done that, from this past spring.
For those of you who weren't here
or just weren't paying attention, I
called them "one of the most talented
new rock bands to emerge
on the music scene in the past
year."
They are a four piece from Ireland,
and one of the hottest acts to
ever hit Dublin. They beat both U2
and the Hothouse Flowers as the
best local band in a Dublin poll
last year. Their sound goes from
hard-driving bar-band fare to
almost-folksy acoustic numbers,
and their new album has an even
harder edge than their last.

Live work has been a mainstay si
of the band's popularity, and the 1
live sound comes through clearly o
on their albums. The simplicity of, f<
the arrangements gives the music a h
clean, classic sound, while still al- h

All four members of the band VI
are masters at their crafts, but this b
album shows growth both in their a
abilities as individual musicians is
and as a band. Guitar lines go b
from riffs that would shame some
metal bands to melodies and is
bridges that would impress anyone, ta
Once again, in spite of the qual- n
ity of the musical performances, c<
the lyrics are by far the best part of h
the album. The band has had si
enough experience now that the v'
songs are less about making it in
the music business and the games o
that men and women play, and ti
more about love and society. a
"Skyrockets" is a beautiful song t(
about unrequited love. It contains a
lines such as "My love is waiting/I o
fired skyrockets for you/You C
didn't see them/Now what am I to ?
do/They light up the sky," which g
float over a beautifully bare little p
guitar bit. g
A lot of the songs are about Ii
missing someone or feeling lonely
while on tour. "The Patience Business"
has one of the best lines of n
the album with "I phoned the f<
speaking clock to hear a voice v.
speak/It said 'at the tone you will fv
be'/Very much alone." 0
There is also a great tongue-in- w
cheek social observation in "Brand o:
New God." The song is a witty c<
criticism of orthodox religion, us- tf
ing lines such as "They say he left c<
us all a note/Called 'crucial life in- c<
struction'/All of it illeeible/Except ft
the word 'Destruction.'"

experience, listen to "Hello, c

When I reviewed Something
[appens! last album, I said that
le key word in talking about them
'as potential. They were then, and
re still, a young band. Truthfully,
was hoping that Stuck Together
'ith God's Glue would prove to
e the realization of that potential,
true masterpiece, but all in all it
; really no better than their last alum,
nor is it any worse.
The difference between the two
the obvious maturation that has
iken place. The music is a little
lore free-wheeling. They are beaming
better musicians. But they
ave lost a bit of the innocent
implicity that added so much
alue to their first effort.
The album is a disappointment
nly in that respect. I can only cricize
them so sharply because they
re really too good not to get betix
with every album. Compared to
lot of the albums that have come
ut this year, Stuck Together With
lod's Glue is a wonderful success,
lopefully we can look forward to
reat things from Something Hapens!
with their next album. These
uys are destined to be superstars,
t's just a matter of time.
P.S.- I changed my mind about
ot telling you where I finally
)und this album. The record store

'ould be really easy for them to

spies in already. And if you give

store ought to be able to get it
