December 16: Josie and the Pussycats - Music from the Motion Picture
Why is this a weird disc? Because of the alt-rock talent slumming it here. An all-star band featuring Matthew Sweet on guitar and the chick from Letters to Cleo on vocals sings songs supposedly by Josie and the Pussycats, the cartoon band brought to life in the blink-and-you-missed-it movie. The songs were written by Jason Falkner, Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows, Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, and Babyface, among others. There's so many cowriters from the '90s, you'd think it was a Bowling for Soup album.
We watched this on the studio VCR when 12 Pearls was recording recently. It's pretty entertaining if you've got a couple of hours to kill before it's time to lay down your bass part, plus you can find it in convenience stores or wal-marts for like $4 on DVD.
The CD is pretty inconsequential. I did laugh a couple of times at the song "Backdoor Lover" by the fictional boy-band DuJour, because my sense of humor is the same as a 14-year-old's.
