Elvis has his army," i31 sings Elvis Costello in ssl "Episode of Blonde" from his latest and quite rocking album, When I was Cruel. Indeed, many Salt Lake City inhabitants have travelled to catch Costello's live act in surrounding cities that are apparently cooler, like Reno, Nev., Las Vegas, Nev.. and Denver, Colo, (where an attendee told me a fight broke drug-inspire- solo in "Little Triggers," from This Year's Model, was particularly impressive. Drummer Pete Thomas pounded out a wide variety of tight, kinetic beats. Newcomer Davey Faragher filled the vacant bass position nicely, adding new elements to his predecessor's parts and rounding out the But before Costello took the stage, Billy Bob Thornton opened the show. Better known as an actor, he sang a collection of country and rock songs, some originals and some covers. The between-sonbanter was fun and the large backup band had skilled musicians, but the impression was washed away when Costello and the Impostors took the stage. With as much energy as I could imagine he had in 1977, Costello vibrated the theater with skilled guitar licks and passionate vocals. The set consisted mainly of songs from his albums, including the new one, 1978's This Vear's Model, 1986's Blood and Chocolate and 1994's pS very g d out). found myself seeing the rock legend with his new backup band, the Impostors which consists of s of his old backup band (also legendary) the Attractions in Chicago, 111., on June 8 at the I superb band. The set's highlights included lively versions of "Pump it Up," "Shabby Doll," "Clown Strike," "You Belong to Me" and "Watching the Detectives." New material like "Alibi" and 'Tear off Your Own Head (It's a Doll Revolution)" stood strong with the classics. Speaking of "classics," Costello didn't play either of the songs that are considered his biggest hits, at least financially, "Alison" and "Veronica," yet he still managed to play a set in which every song was beloved and exciting.

However, the - mix also includes Jewish klezmer, gypsy, classical and Latin rhythms. So where does the David Grisman Quintet's signature style fit? While the DGQ's music can easily fit into more than one genre at the same tone, Grisman coined the term for his band's signature style Dawg music It's only appropriate that the "Citizens of Dawgnation" intro starts the band's new disc, Dawgnation, with 23 seconds of barking dogs. It starts with a few barks here and there, then turns into an assembly of barks. The song "Slade" begins as a mellow piece that at the drop of a hat speeds up to the pace of an upbeat bluegrass tune featuring mandolin solos, violin solos and traded licks between all the players. The song has been used to dose shows because its structure allows all the instrumentalists to display their virtuosity on their instruments and displays a strong dynamic nature. "Slade" is a tribute to Charles Sawtelle, a fellow picker and friend of Grisman. ; Of the 12 songs on the album, 10 of them are dedicated or in tribute to someone. "Why Did The Mouse Many The Elephant?" features a beautifully composed and smoothly textured duet shared between Grisman on piccolo mandolin and Jim Kerwin on bass. g For 25 years, Grisman has led a group of virtuosos over the years but continwith some changes in the quintet's lineup acoustic sound. ues forward with a Dawgriatfon comes after seven years during which the DGQ didn't release an album.

Building upon the electronic foundations firauy set in 97's collaboraEarthling, Bowie, along with former producer and brsg-tim- e rock edge to the forefront with tor Tony Visconu, bring an loud pianos, sweeping synthesizers, tight, snapping drums and saeeching guitars. The album features contributions by the legendary Pete Townsend, who appears on "Slow Burn," as weH as Foo Fighters' frontman Dave GrohL, who plays on the Neil Young cover, I've Been old-scho- ol Waiting For You Bowie also tips his hat to Black Francis in a remake of the Pixies' classic "Cactus." In keeping with the indie band's unique brand of noise, Bowie takes the other remaining songs on a road less traveled. Heathen's thematic emphasis is an extension of Bowie's long-tim- e interest in outer space: "You jumped into your Gemini 1 jumped into mine We'll orbit the moon Just one more time," But contradictory statements overshadow the various space oddities and ethereal imagery permeating through each track, ones indicative of a frustrated search for meaning amidst chaos: TVs been looking IVe been looking" he repeatedly croons on Tve Been Waiting For You." Bowie also describes the current state of society on "Sunday" "For in truth ifs the beginning of the end And nothing has changed Everything has changed." The rest of the album threads the aforementioned elements through songs with methodically carved vocals layered ever the hallowed echoes of synthesizers and multiple guitars. After more than 30 years in the music industry, Bowie continues to push the envelope. His efforts are not always successful, but his to risk it &H pays off in the long run. The s earch for fulfillment could end here. But how wO v"?r lo progress without additional evolution?
