Music From the O.C. Mix 3: Have a Very Merry Chrismukkah

Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
Other than the Eels, the only reason I can think to buy this album is if you are a big fan of TV's The O.C. Me, I'm frightened by Peter Gallagher's monstrously thick eyebrows, so I have never seen it. However, if the show is anything like this Chrismukkah album, then I am not missing much. In addition to only including one song about Hanukkah, this Christmas compilation is more ho-hum than ho ho ho. Rooney continue their foolish mission of making rock 'n' roll safe with the mediocre "Merry Christmas Everybody." Luckily, the Raveonettes contribute a shimmering mid-tempo yuletide tune filled with breathy, atmospheric vocals. But, the exceedingly talented Eels shine brightest with a song whose festive sleigh bell beat belies its blue Christmas lyrics.- Connell Burton McDaniel

Ben Kweller
Bio[+]Accomplished multi-instrumentalist Ben Kweller received his first recognition as a songwriter when he was awarded an honorable mention in the youth songwriter category from Billboard Magazine at the age of 9. The Texas-born youngster formed Radish in 1993 with bassist Bryan Blur and drummer John Kent and signed to the independent Practice Amp Records, releasing the Helllo EP and Dizzy full-length album a year later. Mercury signed his band in ’96, who released Restraining Bolt the following spring. The band didn’t live up to the supercharged major label hype, and disbanded in 1999. Finding his balance as a solo artist, he self-released an EP, Freak Out, It’s Ben Kweller which was highly successful in Europe. In 2002, at the age of twenty, he released the fuzz-pop infused Sha Sha on Island Records.
