Jewel takes you 'This Way'
CHRIS KORNELIS
Assistant A&E editor
Using her ability as an acoustic singer-songwriter, Jewel
meshes genres ranging from pop to rock to country on her latest
Atlantic release, "This Way." On her first album of
all original material since 1998's "Spirit," the follow
up of her smash debut "Pieces of You" that went on
to sell over 10 million copies, Jewel proves that she has come
a long way from the days of "Foolish Games" and "You
Were Meant For Me."
"I wanted to focus on the craft of performing and songwriting.
I've always been a live musician, and I wanted my voice to shine
through. To me, the relevance means staying honest about where
you are. The most important thing to me is maintaining my authenticity"
Jewel said in a Los Angeles Times interview. She accomplishes
this and more on her new album, "This Way."

Prof
brings big dance to little city
by Aristita Albacan

Dancing since the age of three, Festival dance Academy ballet
teacher Jodey Eliseo teaches beginning through advanced levels
of Ballet for the Festival Dance Academy in Moscow and is also
teaching the ballet curriculum for the University of Idaho.
Eliseo was raised by a professional jazz musician father in Phoenix
Arizona, and she moved to New York City in the early seventies,
a time when theater, music and arts were flourishing.
Argonaut: Mrs. Eliseo, why do you teach dance?
Jodey Eliseo: Well, actually, I danced my whole life. I had to
quit performing due to injuries. As I am a Bob Fosse freak, I
was invited to stage a Bob Fosse show in North Dakota and after
three weeks someone offered me a position as a teacher. I was
invited to try teaching in 1997. My first day of teaching dance
ever was in North Dakota.

their best year ever.
Twenty-eight crafters from all over the Northwest will participate,
Anderson said. They will be displaying a variety of quality crafts:
pottery, jewelry, marbled paper, quilted creations, puppets,
dolls, clothing, batiks, basketry, candles, herbal products and
much more. There will be also some international food booths

NY
hardcore blood still runs thick
JIM TOWEILL
Argonaut staff
New York (Gotham City)'s Most Precious Blood play fast-paced,
aggressive straightedge hardcore with plenty of palm-muted, chugga-chugga
breakdowns and pissed-off screamy, emotional vocals.
Heavy use of power chords, short double bass blasts, octaves
and metal riffing to create bits of melody, spoken passages building
up into explosions of all-out catharsis are all signature elements
of hardcore and MPB uses them liberally.
The lyrics are fairly common as well. Singer Tom Sheehan (formerly
of Indecision)'s words are dark and angry with an underlying
theme of positivity that borders on melodrama. One-sentence assertions
like "love is stronger than death," "carry the
lantern high" and "just like a rose ripped from its
root" reek of standard high school poetry.
