Several appealing versions of The Nutcracker exist on film or videotape. An especially familiar one is the American Ballet Theatre's 1977 production, a TV holiday staple starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland, both in their radiant prime. But Balanchine's remains the standard. His hero and heroine are children, and the first act contains a party scene that is the heart of the piece.

(Those aren't "chords" Frances Gumm plays; more like "bunches of notes.") As the two new bands started releasing singles and playing out in New England together, they both got better by sounding less alike...
...Radiant Storm King, who stayed at home, evolved a sound you'd be more likely to sit in your room and enjoy than to thrash to. On Rival Time there are numerous tempo changes and a few failed sonic, or Sonic Youth, experiments. NRSK's successes, however, are more accessible than Frances Gumm's--especially "Phonecall," which my roommate describes as "a good college-rock song that's actually about college."
