All Messed Up Over Casper, December 14, 2000
This review is from: How's Your Hand? (Audio CD)
... "How's Your Hand" is still a great CD, a blast of crazed pop, studio tomfoolery (CF is a genius both on stage and in the studio), low-fi grunge, even spacey synth music. Influences? Jeez, too many to name--but a partial list would include XTC, the Beatles, old Genesis ..., the Flaming Lips and possibly the Groovies as well, the Beach Boys....Highlights include the power-pop "All Messed Up Over Girls" (if only it were longer), the funky "Reset," the rollicking "Mosey Home". The cover of General Public's "Tenderness" is worth the price of admission by itself. This one will keep you humming, tapping your toes, and scratching your head in bewilderment for a long time. So what if you've never heard of him? It's ... a bargain for a CD this good. So buy it already!
