. . _ ■ . 1 e ij_ Paul Weller “Modern Classics - die Greatest Hits” Island Records ' Grade: A Anyone else calling their greatest hits collection “Modern Classics” would be purely arrogant. But that’s if it were anyone else - this is Paul Weller. Weller’s practically a legend in his own right. In the late ’70s, he burst on the scene as part of a band that would ingrain itself as one of the underground successes of that decade - The Jam. While not big in the United States, it was huge in the United Kingdom. But in 1982, that was all she wrote for The Jam as it closed up shop. Not much lata came Style Council, but it didn’t last much longer than The Jam, breaking up in 1989. Finally, it seemed Weller was destined just to quit the whole thing, but he did what any sensible person did - he wait solo. And a genius blossomed. That was 1991. Seven years lata, it’s hard to underestimate the impact Weller has had on music over the past few decades. Dozens of bands have cited him as being influential. The trouble is that Weller can’t make a coherent album. And so comes the joy of a greatest hits collection. Weller’s solo career has been eclec tic at best, surprising at worst From the punk-gone-disco of The Jam to the jazz/poj>of Style Council, Weller’s musical style has been all overthe place, but his solo career has moved heavy to R&B, jazz and improvisational music influences. And with each of his six albums, Weller has wandered from heavy to light guitar, wrenching soul to jamming rock. His mood is all over the place. One moment he’s screaming about glory and love, the next he’s brooding and morose. “Modem Classics” picks up all of that and more. The best songs of die last seven years of Weller’s life have been picked, chosen and melded into one fan tastic collection. It’s lull of sporadic gui tar wails and whines, crooning voices and lingering melodies, all steeped heavily in soul and R&B. With casual grace, Weller shifts from the laid back, drink in hand, life is great attitude of “Friday Street” to die almost painfully desperate “You Do Something To Me.” The playfulness of “Sunflower” is offset by the up-ftont Only one of the songs on die collec tion is new, the wistful “Brand New Start.” But it holds much promise for Weller’s future. Maybe he’ll produce an album with the same splendor of his hits. Maybe he’ll regain his footing and become popular across the world. And maybe not But it’ll be worth listening to, what ever he does. -CUffHicks ‘Scud Stud7 to broadcast tomb unsealing live NEW YORK (AP) - Geraldo Rivera had A1 Capone’s vault. Now Arthur Kent has an Egyptian tomb. Fox announced Tuesday that it will broadcast a two-hour special next year where Kent, the former NBC “Scud Stud” now working as an independent journalist, will unseal the newly dis covered tomb on live television. The network and a production firm, Radio With Pictures, have made arrangements with the Egyptian gov ernment to broadcast the scientific excavation. Terms were not disclosed. Kent will join archeologists March 2 in opening the pyramid of Queen Khameremebty II, an Egyptian royal who reigned 4,600 years ago. They’ll also unseal a tomb near the burial place of a former Egyptian high priest. The special sounds familiar to one of Rivera’s low points, the 1986 open ing of a vault linked to mobster Capone in a Chicago hotel. After a big buildup in a live special, the vault was empty except for a sign and a few bottles. Fox thinks interest in history is ris ing. And it says this has been a serious archeological project, monitored close ly by the Egyptian government. But Fox being Fox - the network of “When Good Pets Go Bad” - a little drama doesn’t hurt, though. “Had the ancient Egyptians from 2,700 B.C. evolved into sophisticated architects, artists, astronomers and sci entists?” the network asks in a breath less news release. “Or did they receive some help? And if so, from whom? Alien visitors from another world? Descendants of the lost civilization of Atlantis?” The answers, Fox says, “have been silently entombed in the timeless sands of the Sahara Desert” Take a break from studying and join HuskerFury for an end of the semester celebration with prizes awarded to those who participate.
