lyrics contribute to the band's originality,
whether it be the soothing voice we hear
in tracks like "Pacific Atlantic" and "She
Loves You," or the all out raging vocals
of "Moon Moon" and "Dinosaur."
There is no doubt as to the versatility
of Stanwyck. Backed by the powerful
guitar of Mick McKenzie, the drumming
dramatics of Tim Timleck, and the
pounding bass of Johnny Sinclair,
Universal Honey completes its eclectic
and catchy sound.
As natives of Toronto, Universal
Honey continues the originality of fellow
Canadian rockers Alanis Morissette and
Ihe Tragically Hip. Much of the freedom
and diversity of the sound of "Earth Moon
Transit" can be contributed to the fact
that it was self-produced by the band.

Superior Feet has a broad selection

Surprisingly, these prices are relatively
reasonable when compared to the inflated
cost of their shiny tiny T's. They also
keep a great selection of contemporary
accessories in stock. A strong point of
the store is its selection of bags.
The selection is not as great as CEO's,

"Dinosaur." These songs spotlight the
talents of McKenzie, who is complimented
by Timleck's drumming.
"She Loves You," "Starving Artists"
and "Make My Mind" take the hard edge
off a bit, but maintain the strong
momentum of the band's sound, adding
some quirky guitar techniques and solos.
Many of the songs off of "Earth Moon
Transit" can at one minute have you
racing with the rhythm, and then the
next minute drop you off into a smooth,
unexpectedly calm chorus. But then the
intensity comes right back.
Universal Honey rounds out the
album with tracks like "Let It Fade" and
"Bullet From A Gun." These tracks, once
again, show the band's versatility and

No matter what listening mood you
may be in, Universal Honey's "Earth

of everything to satisfy the musical
appetite. And with the hits packed into
this second album, they are surely no

So be sure to check out Universal

Old records, costume jewelry, funky
handbags and antique vases are also
good gift ideas.
Hopefully, thrift stores and
consignment stores aren't too frightening,
antique stores too reminiscent of your
grandparents' attic and "used clothes"
are seen more as "recycled clothes".
Next time you pass a vintage clothing
boutique or a Salvation Army Thrift
Store, you might want to stop in and see
what's new.
