SMALL FACES: One sure candidate for album title of the month has been rejected by the veteran hard-funk band Mother’s Finest: “Black Radio Will Not Play This Record.” A spokeswoman for the band said that it was feared “people might not understand the irony.” Instead, the title is set to be “Everybody’s Got One.” . . . How can the Pierce College Choir and Chamber Singers get into a pop music column? By performing a tribute to the recently deceased Queen singer Freddie Mercury, as they will tonight in a concert on the Woodland Hills campus. . . . Christian rap group DC Talk is presenting its new anti-segregationist “Walls” video, which includes the burning of a KKK robe, as an answer to the eye-for-an-eye theatrics of Public Enemy’s “By the Time I Get to Arizona.” The trio’s publicist said plans are to have a public showing of the clip--which premiered last Monday on Black Entertainment Television--in Pulaski, Tenn., the “home” of the Klan. . . .

Witty pop duo They Might Be Giants has aligned itself with 1992’s designation as International Space Year. The act’s upcoming album “Apollo 18” will carry the ISY logo and TMBG is discussing serving as hosts and musicians for a series of “Space Minutes” on MTV. . . .

You’ve got until April 5 to stock up on sunscreen. That’s the date for what is being billed as the first ever Clothing Optional Nude Rock Concert at the Treehouse Ranch nudist colony in Devore. Headlining the concert, which caps a weekend that also features a Mr. and Ms. Nude Spring Break contest, is the current version of the Guess Who. No word on what the band plans to wear. . . .

Look for Sony to give a big spring push to new artist Sophie B. Hawkins, a New York singer-songwriter who is being described as a cross between Kate Bush and Rickie Lee Jones. Her debut album, “Tongues and Tails,” is due March 31. . . . Promotional item of the month: Publicists often go overboard with items to promote their acts, so it almost seemed refreshing when Tommy Boy Records resorted to good old-fashioned payola for the new, Oakland-area rap act Goldmoney. The company simply mailed critics a crisp, new dollar bill with the group’s name stamped in red next to George Washington’s glum visage.
