The Folk
Implosion
One Part Lullaby
CD courtesy of Interscope Records
The Folk Implosion, who have long condemned
the “pretentious” indie scene, have put out their third
album. One Part Lullaby, on a major record label.
Originating in 1993 with John Davis and Se-
badoh's Lou Barlow, the team quickly became a
mainstream one-hit wonder with the success of “Nat
ural One,” featured on the Kids soundtrack.
Despite their short-lived radio success, Davis and
Barlow managed to score some time on Interscope
Records. The result is a laid-back, low-fi album dwin
dling on the periphery of pop. The movement is one
large leap backward from previous ultra-mellow
sounds to a louder, sardonic blend of super guitar and
creepy organs.
Unfortunately, no song on the album really stands
out. Listeners may find themselves asking, "Didn't I
just hear this?”
However, for those with a lyrical ear, the words
make up for the lack of musical creativity on this al
bum, although “Easy L.A.” should probably be
skipped.
The remainders of One Part Lullaby seem to be
part flop, leaving listeners to speculate whether ma
jor-label success has killed the crutch of the Natural
Ones? (Grade: C-)

Kato Kaelin wins libel lawsuit against National Examine
LOS ANGELES
(AP) — The man
who became the
nation’s most fa
mous house
guest during the ■
OJ. Simpson mur
der trial, Brian
“Kato” Kaelin, has
settled his $15
million libel lawsuit over the Na-
KAELIN
tional Examiner’s headline: "Cops
Think Kato Did It!”
Kaelin’s lawyer, Gary Bostwick,
would not say how much Globe
Communications Corp. agreed to
pay. The settlement was entered
into federal court records Friday.
Kaelin was Simpson’s house
guest when the former football
star’s ex-wife and her friend were
stabbed to death in 1994. Simpson
was acquitted of criminaU
but later found liable in aw
National Examiner headlfi
week after Simpson wasa«
of the crime.
While the tabloid argued
never accused Kaelin of r
and “it” in the headline me
jury, a federal appeals o
year ruled that the head ne
could be grounds for libel
