It’s about time this record be released. Perhaps the most influential forerunner of the early punk rock movement, Richard Hell co-founded, penned, sang and played bass in numerous New York-based punk rock bands beginning in the early ’70s. The double album is full of studio material, mostly unreleased, while the second disc features ragged live recordings from his numerous projects, including the Voidoids and the Heartbreakers, among others. The first few tunes on the first disc sound like they were recorded in a barren garage with one mic hanging from the rafters, but they encompass the overall feeling of D.I.Y (do it yourself) in the best way. I’m sure during the years those tracks might have been scuffed a bit, but the imperfect sound quality of each song makes the album that much better. Tracks like “I’m Your Man” come across nicely, even featuring an almost doo-wop harmonization from backup vocalists - parts of it are even reminiscent of a Pixies track - while “Crack of Dawn” is high-pitched guitar oozing to the max. The title track is one of the album’s best, while “I Can Only Give You Everything” staggers along with a guitar riff that current artist Beck borrowed on his single “Devil’s Haircut.” Other tracks, which feature horns, could be played at Marty McFly’s “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance” in the movie “Back to the Future.” The sound quality of the live disc is less than favorable, but it’s a nice addition to the package, and the liner notes feature a book’s worth of photos and stories about the band. This release is an effective and concise portrait of one of the greatest pioneers of punk rock that should have been released years ago.
When things get out of hand at large public events, there need to be measures that will keep people safe.
After a weekend split in their Big Ten opening series, the Spartans are gearing up for Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne today at Kobs Field. The Spartans (17-5 overall, 2-2 Big Ten) take the field at 3 p.m.
East Lansing officials want to bail the school district out of its budget problems by bringing back the rental buyback program.“With the prospect of 35,000 new beds being built on the city’s boarders and stable enrollment at MSU there is a prospect of open housing,” City Manager Ted Staton said.
I am writing concerning Dan Julian’s book review of “How to Quit Church without Quitting God” (“‘How to Quit Church’ thoughtful, provocative,” SN 4/2). I understand The State News is trying to gain some cultural capital by reviewing books, but perhaps it should just stick to what it knows.
If junior goaltender Ryan Miller leaves school early - and that’s still an “if” at this point - Spartan fans probably will be a little worried about MSU’s last line of defense next season.After all, Miller has been the epitome of excellence and durability in his three-year MSU career.
A fifth student has been arraigned in connection with the death of an 18-year-old Bay City man who drowned in the Red Cedar River in October. Nicholaus Belski, a Holden Hall resident and no-preference freshman, was arraigned Thursday on three counts of supplying alcohol to a minor, including Eric Blair, who drowned in the river.
When Kelvin Torbert, Alan Anderson and Chris Hill became MSU’s 2001 recruiting class, another Big Ten title and another trip deep into the NCAA Tournament seemed within reach, if not certain. Sure, the Spartans would lose five seniors, but the trio of recruits would help ease the blow. Torbert, an electrifying scorer, was the 2001 Sporting News Player of the Year, Michigan’s Mr. Basketball and Flint’s second all-time leading scorer - behind ex-Spartan Charlie Bell - with his 1,978 career points at Flint Northwestern High. Anderson, a silky and versatile slasher, rated the No.

East Lansing city officials want to resurrect a housing program that involves the city buying back older rental properties and marketing them as single-family housing. Many of the rental properties in the city can be found in predominantly student-populated areas. Officials hope the program, along with other incentives, could create a more diverse dwelling in areas dense with renters. The announcement in the interest of the rental buyback program came as part of East Lansing’s Strategic Priorities - a list of issues the city intends to address - at Tuesday’s city council meeting. The plan could by brought to the East Lansing City Council for further discussion as early as six months, Mayor Pro Tem Sam Singh said. Despite a lack of support by ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, East Lansing officials plan to continue pushing the program that would reduce the amount of rentals available. Singh said the city is working with students in mind. But the program to reduce the amount of rentals in neighborhoods was discussed by city officials in 1999. “We have always had priorities with students in mind,” Singh said.
All right, before I dig into the sentimental saccharine-fest that is “The Rookie,” I’m first going to dig on Joel Siegel.
Jennifer Cornellier smiled at her crew as she took a deep breath and celebrated the completion of another taping Monday night. Cornellier is a producer, but she doesn’t work on a Hollywood sound stage - she’s a member of the MSU Telecasters. From their campus production booth in the Communication Arts and Sciences Building, club members can often be found producing, directing, acting, editing and filming four television shows for the MSU community. Cornellier, a telecommunication junior, is co-executive producer of all shows, but also produces “Lansing Upfront,” a political commentary program that brings together four guests each Monday night to discuss issues in the Lansing area. During episode six filmed Monday night, host Billy Crawford led the panel in discussing Marcus Taylor’s decision to file for the NBA Draft, the four females arraigned on felony charges of running an unlicensed bar in connection to Eric Blair’s death and the recent Oscar results. The show’s crew also took on a new obstacle when they invited a live audience to its taping March 25, which featured the local band, “Under Construction.” Crawford, a telecommunication junior who helps brainstorm material with writers, said he is the only one viewers see on television, but the people behind the camera do much more work. Communication junior Jennifer Aragones is a member of Telecasters who handles the visual and technical aspects of filming, such as sound, lighting, sets, cameras and editing equipment. Maintaining a strict budget, the group uses equipment purchased from previous years or borrowed from the Department of Telecommunication.
