I SOUND OFF
BECOME WHAT
YOU ARE
GROUP Juliana
HatfwM Three
LABEL: Atlantic
Recently looking over my
library of tapes and compact
discs. I realized my collec
tion was lacking in ono area —
music by females.
Having heard a catchy song by
someone named luliana Hatfield
on the radio. I decided to pick up
her new album. Become What
You Are I was not disappointed
This trio, made up of luliana
Hatfield on vocals and guitars.
Dean Fisher on bass and Todd
Philips on drums, has got to be
one of the hottest alternative
bands around with a female out
front
luliana Hatfield can only be
described ns a sorority girl gone
"bad," but she c.an justify it bv
pointing to her success. With her
fashion-model attitude and looks,
and cute, girlish voice. Hatfield
lends the band through some
candidly revealing songs that fre
quently rock
Become What You Are. which
is out on Atlantic, starts off with
"Supermodel," a song that takes
a sarcastic, hut ultimately affir
mative. look at jHKiple who make
their living as models. "I came
over as soon as she called/ Cause
she's a living doll." and "$5,000
a day is what they pay my baby
for her pretty face" are sample
lyrics from the song
The second song, "My Sister."
is definitely the best song on the
album and is about the |>orfeo1 sis
ter one wishes one could be with
hut can t lie — because she is not
around Hatfield goes from hat
ing this sister to admitting she
really loves her She says she's
a "hitch", hut then goes on to say
“She's i ooler than any other girl/
that 1 have ever met. '
' N1\ Sister" has gotten a fair
amount of airplay, mainly on col
lego radio.
On a song with the ironic title
of "For the Birds," Hatfield mus
es about the death of a bird. The
lyrics of the song are full of sym
bolism.
"Mabel” sounds like it is about
a homeless woman, whom Hat
field looks after. As would hap
pen at a live show, this song flows
immediately into "A Dame with
a Rod ." With the feedback from
the ending of "Mabel'' still doing
its thing, drummer Philips counts
out four clicks with his drum
sticks. setting the pace for this
hard-driving song, in which Hat
field proves without a doubt that
she can play guitar and use a gun
as well as any guy
On "Addicted." Hatfield's
experience getting over a drug
addiction is described "My body
is a shell/ A broken empty shell/
A chemical well/ A little, private
hell," she relates early in the
song, which reminds me of some
of the songs on Alice in Chain's
recent album Dirt. Hatfield gets
through it. "I can't take this lying
down/ 1 can't handle this wait
ing around," she sings tri
umphantly
On the energetic: "Keelin' Mass
achusetts.” Hatfield sings about
what she does when ennui sets
in.
"Spin the Bottle," "President
Garfield" and "Little Pieces" tell
about the stages of an apparently
unsatisfactory relationship.
The last song on the album. "I
Got No Idols." which was co-writ
ten with Philips, Hatfield repeats
the refrain of the title. She can say
she- has no idols because she is
one. She is also a goddess as well,
even if she wouldn't admit it.
Hatfield really is quite a
singer/songwriter. While the
lyrics on Bet nine What You An•
may seem simple and not too
great on paper, they take on
gruatur significance when they are
accompanied by the music:.
Some of the lyric s really strike a
chord.
You really have to hear Become
What You Aiv to appreciate it. It 's
the art that went into this engag
ing piece of work that makes it so
great.

THE LAST
DRAG
★ ★★
GROUP: The Samples
LABEL: WAR
mem
he Samples' fourth release
The Last Drag seems to con
tinue the buna's habit of con
vincing the listener that though
the album is good, the next one
will be great.
They have not delivered that
great album yet, but once again it
seems clear that it will be the next
one.
Their label. W.A R ’ (What Are
Records?), is the Ben and Jerry 's
of the recording industry.
W A R.?‘s guerrilla marketing tac
tics rely on a large fan base to put
up posters, check on stock in
local record stores and request
songs at radio stations. The band
is on the road constantly (cur
rently in the midst of more than
a month with only four days off)
and makes frequent appearances
in Eugene.
There are many brilliant tracks
on The last Drag. including “Lit
tle Silver Ring," "Carry On" nnd
the obligatory song with "rain"
in the title. "The Streets In The
Rain.” Guitarist nnd singer Sean
Kelly wrote the bulk of the album,
but his bandmates turn in some
good songs like "Conquistador"
nnd "Eatonville.” Kelly's writing
is still rather inconsistent but
there are many moments that
show just how good he can be.
The wonderful simile in "Every
time." "As darkness falls on
me/Like the cold use of words."
is just one example.
Especially because the album
begins with the crowing of a
rooster, the simple sunset sounds
of the title track would make the
most appropriate (which is not to
say predictable) ending. Instead,
we get five more tracks, the bulk
of which are dull and uninspired.
Only "Darkside" captures some
spark with its exploration of the
good and evil in every personal
ity with music to match the
dichotomy.
The Ijist Drag is probably the
weakest album in The Samples'
catalog, which, considering the
lofty standards they have set for
themselves by producing some
wonderful work, is not much of
a criticism. The Samples are still
one of the most promising bands
in the country, but it is time they
made that great album and fill
filled that promise
