The Battalion Tuesday • April 21, 1998 m 1 ' Jew soundtrack to film about fast moneymaking cashes in on variety of artists ricx ling fish: I. slang, v.f., to swindle, to pip off, to defraud By James Francis Aggielife editor S oundtracks are hot items for films these days, and it seems that people always run to the mu sic store after viewing a good movie whose mu sic moved them. This time, however, the music comes before the film, as Shooting Fish will be released nationwide June 1. Although the film stars Kate Beckinsale from Much Ado About Nothing and Dan Futterman from The Birdcage, the soundtrack to the movie features a wide range of artists from The Wannadies to The Su pernaturals to Dubstar. One of the most memorable tunes comes in the form of a release of “Do You Know the Way to San Jose," sung by Dionne Warwick.

"Barefoot in the Park†is a comedy that follows the story of two tense nights in the lives of newlyweds Paul and Cory Bratter, who have just moved into their first apartment in New York City. On “Friends,†The Wannadies sing, “We go to places where everything feels amazing / No need to pretend / We know we’re good friends / And that’s the way it should be.†With another old favorite, Jackie De Shannon sings, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love / It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.†Lyrics such as these promote the usual feel-good type of music that many people already have grown tired of hearing on the radio. It is, however, hard to deny the fact that catchy lyrics work to sell records. On the downside, there is a lot of repetition in lyrics, some of the words may be a little hard to un derstand because of the British accents and for those individuals who do not have a taste for poppy music, this compilation is all smiley faces and cheddar. Shooting Fish is a film that deals with conning the Shooting Fish Soundtrack Various Artists Capitol Records Critique: B+ rich out of money and helping the ordinary-joe char acter get away living happily ever after. The music to the soundtrack has the same premise, as it offers new music from up-and-coming artists that satisfy the tastes of individuals who prefer good music. ■■■■mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm tmm wmmm mmm wmmm mmm 1 Earth Day promotes better future for B-CS 1 E arth Day approaches and once again, no one cares. No one knows what to do about it. What can we do — recycle our Coke cans? There is more to do than that. Brazos Valley Cyclists is sponsoring Bike to Work Day Friday, May 1. Stu dents, faculty and commu nity residents are encour aged to put down the car keys and pick up the cycle to contribute to cleaner air and less traffic. OK, so Bryan-College Station is not exactly a smog-infested metropolis, but every little bit helps. Mother Earth is no different from any other mother. She is tired of cleaning up after us. She is tired of the litter and wasted energy. She wants to see us become responsible and clean up after ourselves. We’ll thank her for it someday. We have got to stop messing with Texas A&M. Do not just recycle — just plain cycle. April Towery Staff writer By commuting by bike on May 1, we will not only conserve the air, we will conserve the roads. And we all know the roads in this town can use all the help they can get. Cars are the biggest source of air pollution in the United States, producing benzene, lead carbon monoxide and other dangerous air pollutants. Traffic congestion is another problem biking can solve. Traveling by bike may end up getting people to their destinations quicker than they would by car at certain times of the day. Parking is the other problem solved by riding a bike. No hangtag is required, and 10 bikes can fit into the space taken up by one car. Parking Tran sit and Transportation Services stays away, too. So, this Wednesday, celebrate Earth Day by recycling and all that good stuff; hug a tree and save the spotted owls, but get serious about something, too. Pump some air into those bicycle tires and get ready to participate in Bike to Work Day on May 1. After all, you do have to live here. April Towery is a junior journalism major.
