This Golden Millennium record was the results of a one-off supergroup formed around the fact that a couple of dudes bought gold fleck Les Pauls at the same time and felt they should play some glam rock.  Everyone in the band has some sort of pedigree, but the biggest name is Britt Daniel of Spoon.  I'm sure everyone involved had a lot of fun doing this, and it was probably fun to see live, but the recording is no more than a hair above average.  They play two originals and two covers of glam classics - T-Rex's "20th Century Boy" and Bowie's "Suffragette City."
