A NN Arbor is in the summer
concert doldrums, but concert fans
willing to trek downtown can see
excellent talent at St. Andrews.
Virgin recording artists Camper
Van Beethoven appear on Wednes-
day. Those champions of the non-
sequitur debuted in the big leagues
recently with Our Beloved Revolu-
tionary Sweetheart. And no, it is not
a "sellout."
The first song, "Eye of Fatima,"
dispels any worries of lyrical
changes in a fun tale of witchcraft,

cocaine, government experiments,
tequila, driving, acid, and cowboys.
Camper Van addresses the pressures
of a major label debut on "Life is
Grand": "And life is grand/and I will
say this/ at the risk of falling from
the favor/ with those of you/ who
have appointed yourselves/ to expect
us to say something darker."
The various instrumental tunes
and sections on Sweetheart are ex-
cellent samples of their live sound.
An appearance at Rick's last
November led to multiple encores,
but the crowd couldn't coax a cover
of "The Crunge" from the boys.

Maybe this time.
The next night St. A's hosts Jim
Osterberg aka Iggy Stooge aka Iggy
Pop aka God. Let's face it, Instinct
was so anticipated because of his
achievements with the Stooges. I'm
happy to note Iggy dropped the
"String Arrangements" present on
his last LP, but Stooges fans won't
like the presence of the evil words
"Keyboards" and "Programming."
Luckily producer Bill Laswell sub-
dues these monsters.
The god of punk music collabo-
rating with the guitarist of the Sex
Pistols, Steve Jones, makes the
spine tingle, to say the least. Too
bad the title of the excellent single,
"Cold Metal" summarizes Instinct
better than any critic. The music and
vocals were recorded separately, in-
ferring the presence of another evil
word, "Overdubbing." My advice is
to find a "Cold Metal" 45, or wait
for an LP produced by John Cale.
However Instinct's songs have
good live potential. In a recent radio
interview Iggy promised to play
"1969," which may be your last
chance to here it before the Gaye
Bikers or one of those prolific Aus-
tralian bands record it next year as
"1989." Ticketless fans can look
forwardto a national tour in the fall.
