calypso solo played by both guitarists.
Ifthese guys decide to stay together,
"Big Love" will become their trade-
mark set closer. This ballad is a testi-
mony for all middle-aged men looking
forasubstantialrelationship.Theysing,
"I need a fifty-foot woman to wrap
thesearmsaround/Doyouknowwhere
this love can be found?/'Cos I'm a full
grown man/ and I'm looking for a big
love."
Though I'mno full grown man, I'm
just looking for a big disc to satisfy all
my moods. Little Village is it.

Juliana Hatfield
Hey Babe
Mammoth
This killer collection of teenage girl
riot anhems is too good to be true.
Despite the slap-happy brilliance of her
band, the Blake Babies, Hey Babe is a
dazzlingrevelation.Hatfield'sgleefully
grungy snap'n' pop tunes are late '60s
AM radio-style classic, complete with

bitingly sardonicsweet somethings that
caress and cut at the same time.
"Everybody Loves Me But You" is
Wilson-Phillips on aDinosaur Jr. high,
acan't-get-it-out-of-your-headmelody
shredded to glorious bits by rough and
tumble guitars, courtesy of the
Lemonheads' Evan Dando. "Quit" is
another rock 'n' roll car crash, all sonic
(youth)riffsthatrollercoasterfromhere
to eternity.
Butit's"Nirvana," thatprovidesthe
coup de grace on Hey Babe. A grind
'em and smile crush groove careens
recklessly around the room, while
Hatfield screams, in that sugary-sweet
voice, "Here comes the song I love so
much/makesme wannago fuck shitup/
I've got Nirvana in my head/ I'm so
glad I'm not dead."
More fun than a lifetime subscrip-
tion toSassy magazine, Hey Babe is
pure power pop perfection.
