That record, along with a can of hair

culture of the time. Scary, huh?

nages to maintain a consistent,
gloomy demeanor from beginning to
end. All of the tracks rumble with a
dark, dreary tension. From Patti and
Fred Smith's keyboard-washed tone
poem "It Takes Time," to a gorgeous
duet between k.d. lang and Jane
Siberry, "Calling All Angels," this
disc never loses i's ethereal, murky
mood.
Depeche Mode, who are special-
ists in the field of gloom and doom,
lift up their weary heads long
enough to toss in the solemn
"Death's Door," while fellow de-
pressos Nick Cave and the Bad
Seeds moan through the melodra-
matic "(I'll Love You) Until The
End Of The World." Definitely not
one to take to the beach.
Mercifully, Until The End isn't
all melancholy baby. R.E.M.'s acou-
stic "Fretless" is quietly beautiful,
and the Talking Heads deliver the
enchanting "Sax and Violins." Ne-
neh Cherry attempts to brighten the
proceedings with her entry in the
"Justify My Love" rip-off sweep-
stakes, "Move With Me." She must
be saving the good stuff for her al-
bum.
Like most soundtracks, it's hard
to say if Until The End Of The World
will stand the test of time. Who
knows, maybe five years on we'll be
laughing at this disc, along with
Caesar haircuts and pretentious cof-
fee shops. Only the guys at Wazoo
will know for sure.

"But we knew that we couldn't
just go up there and look normal. So
we decided to be bald. Our girlfriend
who was a makeup artist got us caps
and makeup and we all were bald.
The crowd was a little stunned at
first, you know; their sense of humor
isn't quite like what ours is. It took
them a while, but then they just
started rocking out.
"At the end of the night someone
from the audience said that we were
a really good band and we didn't
need to use that gimmick, as if we
do that all the time. But it was pretty
funny. We've got some great pic-
tures from that show."
seemingly endless layers of feed-
back, distortion, and grunge, and
through it all, aren't really that great
at it.
What they do excel in, however,
is the three to four-minute rock song
which is sorely missing from their
latest album, May I Sing With Me.
Good songwriters they are, but not
in the style they've chosen to play.
"Mushroom Cloud of Hiss" and
"Sleeping Pill" are relentless in their
pursuit to agonize the listener. The
former song is held together with a
fast drumbeat and an overall fuzzi-
ness. The vocals remain secondary,
and the feedback at the end carries
on for what seems like an eternity.
The latter (and the name "Slee-
ping Pill" should give it away),
could easily put the worst insomniac
to sleep. The shimmering guitar
turns into feedback, and eventually
becomes an intimidating mass of dis-
tortion. Again, the song drags on
forever.
Tengo does this, when in fact, the
songs lacking in grunge are their
best. "Upside-Down," the best tune
on the album, has an entertaining
vocal harmonization between the
duo. The straightforwardness of the
Yo La Tengo's best work to date
was Fakebook, an all-acoustic album
of cover songs. While it's not par-
ticularly necessary for the duo to
convert to a complete anti-grunge
sound, their point (if they even have

aim to annoy and confuse listeners,
they have once again succeeded ad-

back continuously to one question-
