litaerwald DAVID BAERWALD "my BY SHARI ROMAN

This album has a very theatrical feel. Was that part of your initial concept? Definitely. One of the ideas Ihad was that I Run for your teddy bear or wanted it to be sort of aradio play. I'm abig whatever else gets you through the fan of Brecht and Weill and that whole brand night. David Baerwald's dark, poetic of "The world is bad and man is poor..." I'd obsessions, hinted at in David + love to be able to do some kind of musical David's "Boomtown" (done with off- theatre, but nobody seems to want to put up and-on again partner David Ricketts) the money for that. and his first solo album, "Bedtime You've said this album was really Stories," are in full bloom on his tough for you. brilliant new LP, scarily/ironically It was the result of some really intensive entitled "Triage" — a combat medical experience in research and revelation. What I term that means, roughly, save those was trying to do was break the pattern of you can and abandon those you can't. denial that Ihad been in and in the process of Gliding from sophisticated pop to doo- doing that, break through the fog that wop psychotica, Baerwald's twisted surrounded me. sense of apocalyptic humor is captured Pattern of denial? in a lush, neo-Brechtian landscape of For instance... AIDS. When AIDS first came madness, immorality, AIDS, Jim Jones out, Ithought it was really strange that there and conspiracy theories. After was this disease that seemed to target the listening to this album, your reality will most socially unacceptable people in this never be the same. Sitting outside in society — blacks, Haitians, heroin addicts the too-bright Hollywood light, the and homosexuals. So I'm busy denying the chain-smoking Baerwald dumped possibility that our biological warfare ashes in the lap of HITS' resident community manufactured achemical agent that will destroy the lives ol "THESE ARE member of the pseudo-intelligensia, people. It's kind of savage to look at it that way, but it's better than Shari Roman "Wasn't Built In A Day." expending energy on pretending it's not there. NOT JUST Message songs can often be preachy. How did you avoid that? DARK On an artistic level, Iwas trying to work with what this kind of thinking does to you. You don't want to go off on some polemical frenzy because it doesn't SONGS, BUT DARK SONGS THAT accomplish anything. The bottom line is, what does it do to the psyche? How ARE FUNNY AND HONEST, TOO." does it make me feel? What does that sound like? In the past, when I've written, I've put myself in the character's situation, but on this record, for the most part, a lot of slack. The period between "Boomtown" and "Bedtime Ididn't. Even the cops and the waiters and the psychotics are all basically me. Stories," Ihad to figure out how to make records by myself. Also, I These are not just dark songs, but dark songs that are funny and honest, too. had this awful reputation as being some kind of lunatic, because Idid How did the way you grew up influence your point of view? a lot of stupid things, like attacking people in the business. Iwas During the Vietnam war, as ateenager, Iwas with my dad in Asia, from 1965 right, but it was still astupid thing to do. So, Ihad to learn how to to '72. He had aconsultancy position with the state department. Anyway, control myself. they were carpet-bombing Cambodia — it was horrific — and my father, I Are you and David Ricketts working together again? can say it now that he's retired, was OSS and the whole thing. He's seen alot Yeah, we're doing that now. Ithink making a record every seven and there he was watching TV and laughing at the carpet-bombing. Ididn't years or so is good for the band's longevity.

Luke Haines' enigmatic writing blends bril- liantly with the fragrant combination of guitar, cello and piano COOKIN' WITH KOWAN KO Morgan Creek artist and "PoMo Babe to remind us of what pop music is all about.(Meredith Chinn) the Week (Major)" Chris Kowanko (ligie), keeps aplacid smile on his face even though the humer he's sitting on backstage at CBGB's is set on "simmer" Gumball, "Super Tasty" (Columbia): "You know, Lenny Kaye is such agreat guy Ijust didn't want to upset him by Indie cred just doesn't get any groovier telling that the satiny smoky aroma he was so enjoying was actually my seared al- terna-buttocla," said Chris. Whatta paL than Gumball's. Founded by Velvet Monkeys and Dinosaur Jr. alumnus Don Fleming, Gumball's music shines brightly as an amalgam of the best elements of Fleming's past. The result is asort of "Starry-Eyed Garage Punk" full of sarcasm and humor propelled by asplendid grind. To top it off, Butch Vig (Nirvana, Sonic Youth) manned the faders on this debut which features one churning chestnut after another. "Super Tasty" is the stuff PoMo dreams are made of.

I've spent most of the past week immersed in two of the most important releases of the year and be- cari' of their significance, I'm taking most of this column to pontificate... It was on the fifth complete FRIEND listening that it hit me — like abaton to Rodney's backside — Aerosmith's "Get A Grip" is a remarkable record. Kalodner told me to live with it for awhile before passing judgement and his prophesy rings tue. This CD is like adigital Disneyland — there's fun ("Shut Up And Dance," TO ALL "Flesh," "Get A Grip"), bone-chilling thrills ("Far The Rich," "Fever," Joe Perry's blistering 'Walk On Down"), tears ("Cr)in',"" crazy") and reflection ("Amazing'), aphysically and emotionally draining experience. The first single, "Livin' On The Rige," is so complex in musical texture, it demands attention. The "breakthrough" video will ar- ticulate this when it airs very soon on MTV. As for the Lenny Kravitz collaboration, 'tine Up" (Rick Rubin's idea; Kalodner made it happen with a phone call), if this track isn't a#1 single, my name is 1.13. Bad! Behold Aerosmith's "Sergeant Pepper" — atestament to the brilliance born from the precarious marriage of asupertalented band, deftly skilled mgmt and avisionary A&R guru. Kudos as well to Bruce Fairbaim and Brendan O'Brien... Anthrax has always been aband with halls. Now, with the addition of fomier Armored Saint vcralist John Bush, there's hair on the jewels. "Sound Of White Noise," coming to stores in May, ushers in the new Eleictra era of Anthrax with an explosion of intelligent, riff-heavy, monstrous- sounding metal, without ahint of sell-out. "Only," "Room For One More," "Hy Pro Glo," "1,000 Points Of Hate," "Sodium Pentathol!" are aggressive, angry songs with apurpose. Thanks to Dave Jerden's divinely "Dirt"-y production, Anthrax's sound has been contemporized for aleft o' center, alternametal audience but in no way alienates their formidable, HM fan base. Bold 'n' hardrock hungry PDs who took early chances with Metal- lice, Megadeth, and more recently, Pantera, your next course is comin'... OK, what else? Trent Reznor's done another Megaideth remix, this time of "Sweatin' Bullets." He's also working on aButthole Surfers' remix. Have )1 Imentioned how much I'm getting into the new Surfers?... Straying from the heavy for amoment, gotta chance to hear some Rod Stewart "Unplugged" on Arnold Stiefel's killer system last Friday. Can you say HUGE?... In the spirit of lvana's new Adult Post Modem, I've been tinkering with an idea to milk more bucks outta you guys. How 'bout Pre-Pubescent Peddle to the Metal? We'll target By LONN M. FRIEND the 6-14 demo. (Ed note: We thought you already weir, Anthrax: "White Noise" is the next Lonn.) Just athought!... Friend out.. course.

Now three years later, his last decent meal came from scraping the fuzz off his freezer, but hey, he's in the music biz. A 35-year institution (the store, not Jay), Davidson's now calls itself "Music" instead of "Records" and houses some of metal's finest both in the bins and on the floor, hosting in-stores with such PHOTO OF THE WEEK luminaries as Pantera, Firehouse, Enuff Z'Nuff and STP.

Yo, the self-described "soul survivor of athousand beats," LL Cool J, returns with the heavy-hittin', body-slanunin' "How I'm Comin" from his newest joint, "14 Shots To The Dome."
