...latest album. Hot Stuff is the finest example around of blues-finger disco--turn it up and watch the room shudder the way the highway does when its 100 in the shade. Hot Rocks had nothing on this--only burnt your feet like those Pacific s-m islanders' who walk on red hot terraces. Memory Motel replaces the no-tell in this chivalric age.

When successful, says Walker, "shopping becomes entertainment...

A recent display of neon sculpture by Boston artist Chris Sproat at MIT's Hayden Gallery was reviewed critically in Ergo: "One can see the show in 10 seconds, the time it takes to walk across the gallery. The pieces do not differ significantly from each other except that in one case the conduct is curbed rather than angular, the shapes smeared in chalk rather than paint, etc. An electrician might want to take a closer look at the arrangements of the wires and junction boxes...
