Music Savaged By The Average Beast
 
for December 13, 2001


ALTROK Ordinals 24

The Frames - For The Birds (Plateau/Overcoat)
Jeff says: Band is from Dublin, Ireland. HUGE in Ireland. Have released a number of records in the US, this is the first one in a couple of years. Leader Glen Hansard was also the guitar player in the film The Commitments.

Various Artists - Good Rockin’ Tonight: The Legacy Of Sun Records (London-Sire)
Jeff says: Sun Records, founded by the legendary Sam Phillips, is now 50 years old. It was home to everyone from Elvis Presley to Roy Orbison to Johnny Cash to Jerry Lee Lewis. Contributing will be Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck & Chrissie Hynde, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, Elton John, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Live ... and the ones we’ll be playing: Van Morrison & Carl Perkins, Bryan Ferry, and Chris Isaak. [Hmmm...sounds like I should file this in the "damning with faint praise" department... -Ed.]
