Casper & The Cookies
3 1/2 Stars
Album US 2007 on Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records label
Rock (Lo-Fi, Indie Rock)
"Power Stupid", formerly named after a well known low calorie powdered drink represented by a powerful law firm, is about the movie the Dark Crystal. "Krötenwanderung v1.1" is the live arrangement of the first song on The Optimist's Club. "Sweet Pea" is a cover of an old bubblegum hit by Tommy Roe. Fun, innit? "The Optimist's Credo v2.0" is based on the live arrangement of the original track (again on The Optimist's Club). "Cherry Bomb" was originally performed by the Runaways, "Cloudy" by Simon & Garfunkle (this cover song was recorded in 2001; this is its first release), "I'm A Boy" by the Who and "Penelope" by of Montreal. Thanks to the Booty Patrol for spurring the creation of the latter. "Explanation of untitled song segments: A: I took a handheld recorder on tour and hardly turned it off. Some of the sounds you hear are: - the band raising a toast with Will and Jennifer, - Katie discussing eating on the road with Dr. Dog, - Courtney arriving at the Northstar, - the Cookies and the Apples in Stereo backstage, - Jim and Joe having a fistfight for fun as Kay takes pictures, - Jason walking down an icy street to a shop in Washington DC to buy a strange Valentine's Day gift for Kay, - Kay unwrapping the gift and reading the engrish instructions on the box, - My cell phone jamming the recorder during a phone conversation with Bill Doss of Apples in Stereo after their Conan O'Brien taping, - studio recordings These clips were then looped and cut up using a scientific formula based on our stupid band name."
