Boston may be a three-hour drive from Burlington, Vt., but Boston Garden will look a lot like UVM's Gutterson Field House tonight. Last year, Vermont fans packed the Garden, filling it with screams of "Go, Cats, Go." This year, Vermont's share of ECAC Final Four tickets sold out just as quickly.

Although every XTC album contains its fair share of love songs, the group seems to have gotten a little sappier and a little more conventional on Oranges and Lemons. "The Mayor of Simpleton'"s lyric silliness ("I can't have been there when brains were handed 'round or get past the cover of your books profound") is somewhat offset by Partridge's fast-paced vocals, but with its bouncy rhythms and annoying chimes, it's still more of a junior high dance song than the XTC we know and love.

Viewership for the Sinatra- Minnelli-Davis concert is still being tabulated, but will probably fall well short of 100,000. Still, the concert's packager, Showtime Event Television, is pursuing other big stars for PPV events, and industry executives are bullish. "We're building an electronic arena," says Jeffrey Reiss, chairman of Request Television. "The day will come when Bruce Springsteen will be playing pay-per-view at the end of his tour. We're betting on the future...
