casper & the cookies are an interesting band. ive never seen em live, but from friends accts they’re pretty awesome – they’re actually playing the hi ho lounge here new orleans on wed, 3.16. anyway, ive listened to most of their releases, and while they may not always be my thing, they are definitely fun. anyway, they got a free record out thats filled with songs that were featured on comps, 7″‘s, tour only cds, etc. not all of its awesome, but again, if you’re into very quirky pop, you will definitely dig this. grab it via their site. for the record, the name of the record comes from a conversation the band had w robert pollard regarding a new band name.
