5.0 out of 5 stars Laptop's sardonic songs to pose by: Go buy it now, June 10, 2001

This review is from: End Credits (Audio CD)

After hearing 30 seconds of Laptop's hilariouly ironic *End Credits* at a coffeehouse near my San Francisco pad, I knew I had to have it. Laptop's brilliant, biting sound evokes Bowie and Depeche Mode while dripping irony a la Cake. This CD is a happy and rare marriage of irresistible danceability and lyrics such as we have not seen since Morrisey's salad days with the Smiths.

If this disc had any airplay, both "Greatest Hits" and "We're So Happy You Failed" would earn heavy rotation. "Greatest Hits" is a dysfunctional duet, a celebration of the current girlfriend as "the greatest hits/you're a the-best-of/you include only the best cuts of the girls that I've been out with" while said girlfriend fumes. "We're So Happy You Failed" is a elegantly vicious gloat with a twinge of hysteria, complete with nyah-nyah choruses. Let's not forget the robotic cover of Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," either.

Go buy this truly excellent CD now, right now. Intelligent, beat-driven, devilishly funny discs like "End Credits" are in very short supply.
