Galas weds her homicidal (no, really) blues to Jones' rumbling, inventive bass lines and it's a marriage made in hell. The single "Do You Take This Man" reveals a blade-wielding Galas howling "Husband, with this knife I do you adore," while tracks like "Tony," "Baby's Insane" and a cover of "At the Dark End of the Street" shove the record deep into the realm of netherworldly blues. Galas reigns over "The Sporting Life" with her huge, fierce growl, which on the psychotic "You're Mine" resembles nothing so much as a fax connection. Yeah, baby's insane, but you don't want to miss this one. Diamanda Galas and John Paul Jones take over the Michigan Theater tonight at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, $20 and $15 in advance, through Ticketmaster.

Those familiar with Barlow's style will recognize the truth in this state- ment. He writes with unflinching hon- esty, refusing to dress his songs in any pretentious poetic clothing. Over the course of Sebadoh's long and varied history - from the acoustic tapes he made while still a member of Dino- saur Jr. to the sprawling sonic mix of "Sebadoh III" and from the band's slot on the second stage of Lollapalooza in 1993 to the recent departure of founding member and noise freak Eric Gaffney - Barlow's songs have chronicled the ups and downs of his life with heartwrenching perfection. "Bakesale" finds the new lineup RnI) n rr, a nd nron Ic'Ttc' n "Rebound" and "Skull," some of the catchiest hooks he has ever written. Even without Gaffney's noisy wan- derings, or perhaps because of their absence, "Bakesale" does not fail to easily meet the high standards set by Sebadoh's earlier work. - Dirk Schulze Various Artists Speed Limit 140 BPM Presents: Law of the Jungle Moonshine Records Being hailed as "the first indig- enous Black music of England," Jungle is an emerging and important musical form. British hardcore techno, once the stomping ground of a highly white audience, is turning over a new leaf, and appealing to all audiences. Often times criticized for taking itself too seriously, British hardcore has been in need of a sense of humor, and Jungle provides just that. Even though songs like Shy FX/ Gunsmoke's "Original Gangsta" are self-reflexive, and funny, the hardcore Ian Brennan Paperboy Toy Gun Murder Records Once again, Ian Brennan capti- vates the cold reality of life through his haunting lyrics and mix of folk and alternative music, with his sixth release, "Paperboy." Brennan sings in his deep, whispering voice about all the social ills imaginable, from' homelessness to murder. His lyrics hit hard, full of pain and loss, while contrasting with the soothing vocals and melodies. On the first tracc, "Running Shoes," we encounter Brennan's tale of a boy killed for his tennis shoes. He ends the song with a thought from the dead boy about his hero with the memorable line, "Like Mike, I wanto to be like Mike." During the song, "Speak to Me," the urging and emo- tion in Brennan's voice shines through as he begs a three year-old who was born premature and hasn't spoken to speak to him.
