Beating Time WORLD SERVICE (CD) By Delirious? Furious? Records The BBC World Service. I appreciate its existence, and the important part it plays in the lives of many people. But when I am tuning in my radio station presets, it isn't among them.

Music Review
Beating Time ALL RIGHT HERE By Sara Groves Sponge Records A first impression of this CD said quirky yet cool female solo artists: all at once deliciously self-indulgent and yet not really very edifying. The whole angsty, me-versus-the-world demeanour found in such music appeals to my adolescent side, but I know it doesn't help when one is trying not to conform to the pattern of this world any longer. Anyway, as I said, these were my first impressions. I wasn't entirely wrong. Sara Groves definitely has her Fiona-Apple-cum-Alanis-Morrisette moments.
