J UHTM; J IX piWIXjmfe X VV11116 xwx me to walk into a record store, buy a record that I know nothing about and find that it is a devastatingly cool piece of work. At least that's what I found to be the case of the self-titled major label debut of the The Indigo ; Girls (Epic Records). A pair of well-played acoustic guitars seems to be the instrument of choice for Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, the girls in question. The \ simplicity of the music allows the heartbreaking harmonies of the pair to shine forth like a beacon from heaven. Those harmonies are not wasted on lyrical pablum, either. On the album's highlight, "Closer To Fine," Saliers sings the story of her ,, life. "I went to his knee/ He never did marry or see a B-grade movie/ He graded my performance, he said he could see through me." While only these two make up The Indigo Girls, they've enlisted topnotch help. The album was produced by Scott Litt, who recently finished work on R.E.M.'s Green, and he called in the instrumentalists from that band to lend support on "Tried To Be True." The boys from down South add a refreshing punch to the girls' sound. Don't think that Michael Stipe was left out of the picture. His signature background mutterings can be found on the moody "Kid Fears."

IN THE BAZAAR heart into the stereo, you'd be a fool to pass on this disc. Not so free flowing, but certainly interesting is Pin & Web, the eclectic release from Caterwaul (I.R.S. Records). In an album that almost defies description, lead singer Betsy Martin leads the tight-knit foursome through a maze of musical directions. For the most part, the band sticks to an aggressive hard-edged sound, musically similar to Jane's Addiction, but with a vocalist that seems to have problems deciding whether it wr\nlH hf? pnnlfr tr\ cr?nnH a u/ail ing, twanging Loretta Lynn or a mystic Kate Bush. Sometimes, such as on the mandolin-based "Lay Down To Rest," she does both. No surprises to be found on the latest from XTC, Oranges & Lemons (Geffen Records). Like 1982's English Settlement, Oranges & Lemons is a melodic delight. Like 1986's Skylarking, the album features enough crisp pop songs to keep a Revolver-era Beatles fan's toes tapping for months. In short, the three from Britain have done it again. Ho hum, another masterpiece. About the only concrete difference that separates Oranges from previous efforts is the use of relatively unknown producer Paul Fox. In the past, the band tended to stick to the bigger names like Steve Lillywhite, Hugh Padgham and David Lord, but after the rift that developed between Todd Rundgren, who produced Skylarking, and XTC leader Andy Partridge over the direction the record would take, they decided to try something new. With Fox listed as co-producer along with the band, it's clear that this is the record XTC wanted to release. From the bouncy "Mayor of Simpleton" to the grinding "Scarecrow People," the album misses no marks. In you liked anything that they have done before, you'll have few difficulties rationalizing this purchase.

For Robert Bradshaw, the new experience is having his first symphony played at the Koger Center. The 18-year-old music composition major's "Majestique" will be performed by the Carolina Amadeus Players on April 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available to non-students for $5 and students and senior citizens for $3. Music history graduate student Doug Robinson, the conductor of the chamber orchestra, said he was half joking when he asked Bradshaw to write something for him. "I was the T.A. for his classical piano class, and I heard his major was composition, so I suggested that he write something and I would look it over," Robinson said. The piece was a challenge for the Massachusetts resident because he had never tried to write a symphony before. It illustrates an English fox hunt, Bradshaw said. "I thought it would be interesting," he said. I VOLUNTEERS<uU Help us help you. I American Red Cross |MH oi S.C. Regional Blood Services .

"The score is fabulous," Robinson said. "It's classical, but it also has a melody that goes right to the heart. Most classical music is high and lofty, but this piece will have the audience humming as they walk out the door." Bradshaw, who also plays the piccolo trumpet for the orchestra, said a special feature of the symphony is the use of meter. "There are no stressed beats, no one note more important than the other," he said. "It's like one giant phrase ? it just flows." Bradshaw looked at many schools before deciding to attend USC. He was impressed because it was the one school that didn't try to restrict his music or what instrument he could play. He said his entire family is musical, so he was born listening to music. He started the piano at age five, began playing the trumpet at age eight and took up the bass guitar and acoustic bass | Tire r>f I jlunl^e^ 10 OFF : J9COCK irson per visit Th ECTIONS , , I OCS.CA jV.

He listens to a variety of music, from classical to rock to jazz. In fact, his grandfather John DeFeo, a professional jazz guitarist, got Bradshaw started on the bass. Bradshaw's music is influenced by the people around him, he said. "I write to affect people's emotions, so my ideas relate to people's personalities," he said. But Bradshaw's primary influence is his 16-year-old brother, Jody. The two are in a jazz/rock band back home called Cold Shoulder that plays at dances and fashion shows. "He (Jody) is my one critic; I always bounce my ideas off on him," he said. "He's extremely talented." Robinson said he expects big things from Bradshaw. "He's got natural talent, and he's very determined in a positive way," Robinson said. "He's like a 50-year-old in an 18-year-old's body." "My music is for other people to enjoy," Bradshaw said. "I don't do it to accomplish anything; it's just what I have to do." Visitation Policy. Robby Benson. Classifieds. 1 f ^ "31? Bill I-Si ie Gamecock ?ping you informed.
