And for the North Carolina rock band Jennyanykind, what has been revealed is just plain weird, vocalist and guitarist Michael Holland said. “This band has totally been brought together by acts of God and pure coincidence,” Holland said. The band formed in Chapel Hill in 1991, when it was com prised of Holland and a drum mer. Then Holland placed an advertisement in a paper to find a bassist. “I just talked on the phone to everyone who was interest ed in the position,” Holland said. “Then I decided the only way I’d find a good bass player was if I actually went out and met the guys and gave them our tape. The only guy I did that for ended up our bass player.” Another unusual coincidence occurred when the drummer de cided to quit to play full time with another band. “The very day our drummer said he was quitting my brother called to say he was leaving the Army and was coming to Chapel Hill,” Holland said. Holland’s brother Mark became the new drummer, and the trio be gan making music professionally. Holland said the band recent ly acquired a pianist for its live shows. “1 kept saying I was going to get a pianist, but I had gotten lazy. So one night, I promised I would put an ad in the paper the next day,” he said. “I went out that night and ended up meeting a guy who played piano and is now touring with us." The band has released two full-length albums and one al bum with an independent record label. Jennyanykind released its most recent album, Revelator, with Elektra Records. I Mi idu ■; Jennyanykind Elektra Records West Coast Publicist Gihan Salem said she has enjoyed working with the band members of Jennyanykind. “Michael and Mark are great,” she said. "They’re really excited about the record. “Jennyanykind is very different, very solid. They’re not the kind of band that just gets lumped into that general alternative category.” The band members plan to tour through next spring promot ing Revelater, which Holland said is the band’s best work so far. "It was a natural progression, a moment in time,” Holland said. “You know how when you look at an old picture of yourself and say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe how silly I look.’ It’s nothing conscious, but you do learn from each record. Musicians should not be afraid to follow their ideas.” Following ideas has not been a problem for the musicians in Jennyanykind. The album has recurring themes of religion and spirituali ty, which Holland said are an im portant part of their music. He said listeners are often mis led into thinking Revelater is a re ligious album, but he said he does not consider Jennyanykind a a: 5 Christian band. “The significance ofn gion in our songs isthesi as its significance inlil there’s no escape from it,’ said. “It doesn’ti you’re Christian or whatever. It’s not a gion, it’s about life."

WE ECKS OR Cl ions mark; 1876 DR. ANDRE ELRAY BEACH, • 'll;i' LOS ANGELES (AP) — Madon na’s a mama. The 38-year-old pop diva and actress gave birth Monday to a healthy 6-pound, 9-ounce girl, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon. Madonna, baby and daddy Car los Leon were resting comfortably, spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said. It is tlie first child for Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. The 30- year-old father is her personal trainer and boyfriend. The girl was born at 4:01 p.m. at Good Samaritan Hospital, Rosenberg said. She and hospital officials declined to release other details of the birth, including whether it was a natural birth or a Caesarean section delivery. Dr. Paul Fleiss, father of Holly wood madam Heidi Fleiss, told TV crews as he left the hospital that he was the baby’s pediatrician. Fans all over the world cele brated the news of the baby. MTV ran a series of Madonna videos along with congratulatory mes sages from fans on the bottom of the screen. The New York Daily News re ported earlier this month that Madonna had wanted a natural childbirth, took birthing classes, considered having the baby at home and planned to breastfeed the girl. Gossip columnists had also said she would name her baby “Lola.” Instead, she settled on Lourdes.
