The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 24, 1992- Page 9 RECORDS Continued from page 8 for this one. While his movies have digressed from mediocre, angst-rid- den fantasies for the clove cigarette * teen army, to sickly sweet Disney- on-meanie-pill stuff like Home Alone, he is also the father of the ,"cool movie soundtrack." With Pretty In Pink, Hughes created a monster. Assemble a bunch of currently "cutting edge" artists, have them record some alternateen anthems, and voila! 120 Minutes heaven! Like it or not, you know that * You too have a dog-eared copy of that mid-'80s gem, even if it is lan- guishing in the used bin at Wazoo. That record, along with a can of hair mousse, sum up American youth culture of the time. Scary, huh? Until The End Of The World is Pretty In Pink's hip older brother. Instead of New Order, there's Can. But this Wim Wenders-assembled disc isn't too cool to omit hitmakers * like U2 or Neneh Cherry.

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. -Scott Sterling Yo La Tengo May I Sing With Me Alias The husband and wife duo of Yo La Tengo (Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley) continues to confound me. They overload their productions with LAWYERS Continued from page 5 now, and Let's Kill All the Lawyers is our calling card." The Filmmaker's Premiere of LET'S KILL ALL THE LAWYERS is Friday night at 7:30 at the Michigan Theater. Tickets are $10. L'7 Continued from page 8 "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 They overload their productions with seemingly endless layers of feed-back, distortion, and grunge, and through it all, aren't really that great at it. song makes it work well. The closing track, "Satellite," is along the same line. The vocals are the feature of the song, and not coin- cidentally, it's one of the shortest numbers on the album. Less is un- deniably more in this instance. one) was lost on me long ago. If they aim to annoy and confuse listeners, they have once again succeeded ad- mirably. But I can't help coming back continuously to one question- when it's all over - so what? -Nima Hodaei Hubley I Kaplan While many distortion-guitar bands hide their inability to write and perform creative songs beneath the noise, it seems ironic that Yo La I *1 There are hundreds of questions on the GMAT, GRE and LSAT.
