Page 4 • The Battalion Tuesday • July 18,19?! Teenage Fanclub Continued from Page 3 and the Beatles,’” he said. McGinely shares Chilton’s attitude and said he is not too worried about sounding like others’ styles. “When we do a song, we don’t think, ‘Does this sound like anyone else?”’ he said. “We kind of take it for granted that we have written the song.” McGinely said other bands only influence the band’s music subconsciously. “Perhaps if you sit and listen to a few soul compilations over a weekend, and then you write a song, it’s going to be more laid back than if you were lis tening to a hardcore punk record,” McGinely said. This could be the reason the album included a bit of the Byrds, a bit of sunny fun remi niscent of the Beach Boys and a touch of John Lennon psyche- delica. Grand Prix does, at times, sound like music out of the ’60s. However, the band tries to reinvent its sound on every al bum. “When it comes to making records we try not to second- guess our ideas and feelings,” McGinely said. The change in sounds from album to album is fostered by the songwriting arrangement of the band. Similar to the Beatles, Teenage Fanclub has three songwriters, and McGinely said they help each other out. McGinely says that having three individual songwriters “takes the pressure off any in dividual” to contribute ideas. And while having three indi vidual songwriters may have been too much for the Beatles, Teenage Fanclub will continue to try to use the arrangement to its advantage.

To Place Your Ad In The Battalion Call 845-2696 c Vertical Horizon Continued from Page 3 Unfortunately, the lyrics did not evolve as much as the music and are a repeat of There and Back Again. Simplistic lyrics fail to draw out Kane and Scannell’s poetry in songs like “Sunrays and Sat urdays.” Scannell plays a psycholo gist’s role and analyzes why it is better for the song’s two lovers to call it quits. He clashes cheesy ’70s imagery against his intri cate guitar playing as he sings, “And I wish you / Sunrays and Saturdays / Sweet dreams and moonbeams / And a love that’s warm and bright.” “Japan” shows that the po tential for lyrical improvement exists. The song departs from the simplicity of the first album, which may be a prosaic move that toward solidifying the band’s lyrical integrity. The melody tells the depress ing story of a man facing the bit ing pangs of loneliness. The duo sings, “You see I love an Ameri can beauty / But nobody here understands / But nobody came to his rescue / And he came to his bitter end.” Vertical Horizon sings anev er-ending story about relation ships that sounds like a conver sation college students mayhai over dinner. Although the lyrics lackma turity, the band’s musical so phistication could eventuallypi its book of love at the top ofthi bestseller list. lome are /bile sor blurred t Red-hot Indians cant find way to lose ist.

After all, he created them. Yet each time they find an other wdy to win, the 46-year- old general manager becomes a giddy little kid again, just like the other 41,000-plus fans who’ve been routinely cramming into Jacobs Field. “I leaped out of my seat, as I’ve done so many times this year,” Hart said after the In dians’ latest miracle finish, a two-run home run by Manny Ramirez in the 12th inning that beat Dennis Eckersley and the Oakland A’s 5-4 Sunday and gave the Indians a league-best 50-21 record. “If you love the game, those things are special.” Very little has seemed special about baseball in most cities this season, with lingering re sentment from the strike and uncertainty about the game’s fu ture having taken so much of wher: the fun out of it. Not so in Cleveland fans hungry from 40 years t bad baseball suddenly fin: themselves watching thebe! team in the world.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Talk of resurrecting the Dallas Cowboys’ recent glory was already floating freely in the hot Texas air just a few hours into the unofficial first day of training camp. “It truly doesn’t feel like a sea son if you’re not in the Super Bowl,” said receiver Michael Irvin, participating Monday in the first day of the team’s “Quar terback School.” It might be July, but talk about wresting the Lombardi Trophy away from the San Francisco 49ers was rampant as players spoke of recommitting themselves, physi cally and mentally, to a third world championship in four seasons. “We’ve got the talent — all we’ve got to do is get it together,” said linebacker Robert Jones. “We want it. All we have to do is go and get it.” The only aberration to an other wise serious day of football oc curred in the morning when a woman ran out onto the practice field and tried to approach quar terback Troy Aikman. Irving police arrested Linda Oxley, 42, of Fort Worth on a charge of misdemeanor trespassing. It was only a mild interruption to the morning’s grueling task of running a series of 110-yard sprints to test conchtioning.

It’s no accident that this year’s All-Star Game was an entertaining one. Players saw the game as a golden opportunity. It was one of the stepping stones set down to retrieve all the fans lost in the mire between base ball and summer boredom. Players and owners dug themselves into a major hole with the strike, but they are being extremely opportunis tic in their attempts to bring baseball back. The work stoppage going on in basketball couldn’t be more timely. There’s noth ing like an NBA lockout to take a little heat off baseball and set yet another one of those stepping stones down. Labor talks are on sched ule to hit the table by the end of July and an agree ment could be reached be fore postseason play begins. Another strike would ut terly destroy baseball. That’s why another one can’t happen. Everyone in volved knows this. Eventu ally ’ the fans will come back, the ratings will go back up, and yes, baseball will once again be America’s favorite pastime. Palmeiro’s bomb spells doom for Rangers in 13tli □ The former Texas star kept his old teammates from moving into first. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rafael Palmeiro homered into the upper deck in right field in the top of the 13th inning Mon day night, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. The 418-foot shot off Dennis Cook (0-1) was only the third ball hit into the upper deck at the Ballpark this sea son. Six Baltimore reliev ers held Texas without a hit over the final eight in nings. Mark Lee (1-0) got his first major-league victory since 1991 and Doug Jones pitched the last two-thirds of an inning for his 16th save. Both teams had two runners on base in the 12th but failed to Baltimore tied it 2-2 in the eighth with the help of a balk call. Jeff Huson had a leadoff pinch-single and moved to sec ond on Ed Vosberg’s balk when it appeared he had Huson picked off. Huson moved third on a groundout at scored on Brady Andersot double. Rusty Greer’s sixth-inni: homer gave Texas a 2-1 leadi ter ex-Ranger Kevin Brown k retired 10 in a row. The ho® was the last hit of the game: Texas. Palmeiro’s home run cont ued his hot streak agait his former Texas teat mates. Palmeiro If the Rangers via ft; agency after the 1? season and was(■ joying his best ye: as a professional f fore play was intf rupted by last seasot strike.

After briefly hobblingt ball, Ripken was able to fire to first and get Gonzalez by tf steps. The Rangers’ loss kept the one game behind California the AL West.
