These notes are a great resource for daycare or school instructors as well as parents, and, when implemented in moderation, can add another dimension to the listening experience.

Looking for "different." Look no further!.......2006-01-14
We Love the title song as it teaches early phonics and recognizing that words start with a letter. I don't turn to the CD to teach my kids everything, but use it as a supplement to my teaching.
disappointed.......2005-08-28
These aren't your run-of-the-mill songs!.......2005-04-12
Some of the great fun songs include the title song "Can a Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet," "What Could a Bean Bag Be," and "The Compost Bin." His learning songs teach shapes, sound blends, and rhyming. I love "Letters in the Blender" and "Fun with The Rhyme Time Band" as well as "Jig Along Shapes" and "Action Fraction."
As you can see from reading the titles, these aren't your run-of-the-mill songs. Hap Palmer has a great talent at creating songs that are interesting to listen to and fun to dance with. This hour long CD is definitely worth it and will quickly become your family's favorite tunes! --Denise Steele-Darnell
Highly Awarded Early Childhood Music Pioneer.......2004-01-11
So my family and I have made a point of listening to his music, mostly by loan through our local library. Unfortunately, we do not like his musical style or voice very much. Most of his albums are not singable or melodic. I praise Palmer for making music that is good for childen and not like most commercial "junk food" children's music products that are on the market, but we just don't like most of his songs.
"Can a Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet" is one of the exceptions. The songs are interesting and fun to listen to. We like this CD. Plus, the messages are good for children, like most Hap Palmer albums. Thumbs up!
RECOMMENDATION: I suggest that parents start with CD's by Raffi. Then consider this CD. Hap Palmer's music is especially valuable if you use it to interact with your child, such as moving and thinking. Palmer's music is quality.

"F*cked up" doesn't even begin to cover it. This is forty three minutes of pure, unadulterated insanity. There's no reference I could come up with that could possibly prepare you for this album. Not one.
Now, I have seen and heard a lot of disturbing things in my life, but this *has* to have wormed its way to the top of the list.
Yeah, definitely recommended. I can't say I'll listen to this often, but it'll certainly have its place in my collection and I will sure as hell be burning it for all my friends. :)
Oh my god........2005-01-05
After the grand Overture, we have Selected Readings From Rat Catching, Crispin's first published book. And boy is it really "selected". Do yourself a favor and don't try to follow along while reading your own copy of the book. He jumps around all over the place, but it's still good. Crispin sounds incredibly happy during some readings, and just plain freaky (wait until you hear him say "chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickeeeeeeeeen"). The music playing in the background is equally happy, and puts me in a good mood. Next, he sings being clean in The New Clean Song. It's a nice acoustic ditty where the lyrics say it all. Crispin sounds like he's enjoying himself on this track, but not as much as he probably is on Auto-Manipulator. A song about nothing but masturbation. At first, I couldn't stand this track, but I loved it after just a second listen. There's some weird vocal effects going on (that I can magically match when I sing along) which make it even more hilarious. Here's a few quick lyrics to give you a sample:
"I'M AN AU...TO...MANI-PU-LATOR. I PLAY WITH MYSELF...I'M A MASTURBATOR." [later in the song] "I close the bathroom door, I be lookin' so cool, my mama don't know I been touchin' my tool"
See? If anything, it's a demi-hip hop track that you'll have to hear for yourself. Up next is the track no one can resist mentioning: Clowny Clown Clown. Demented circus music is what's on this one. The lyrics are silly as well, but sort of depressing in what happens to the clown. Like I mentioned earlier, there's a small Rubin & Ed bit here, and if you're lucky enough to find the music video, you'll see even more. Speaking of that video, if you need it, email me right away. But yes, this is a happy song that everyone loves, and I've yet to get sick of hearing it. With Getting Out Of Bed, we get an eerie glimpse at what Crispin must think when he does get out of bed. And lordy, I don't wanna be around when he does if this is what it is. Next is a personal favorite of mine- The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze. It's so graceful and classy, yet touching. I love the music again, and the way Cripin sings a few lines is really devious. The last song on here is a Charles Manson cover: Never Say "Never" To Always. If it didn't make you think before, it definately will this time around, I'll leave it at that.
Finally are the Selected Readings From Oak-Mot. Again, don't try to follow along with your book of the same name. I just tried, and things were way off. Crispin would say "chapter ten", but it'd be a completely different chapter, and I'd just give up. But really, you should listen to these before reading Oak-Mot if you can, and memorize the way he reads them and the music that plays as well. It adds even more effect, and now I can enjoy Oak-Mot the way it was most likely intended. And finally [part II], the last track is Crispin freaking out in German sort of like how he did in a dream-scene from Bartleby. Someone online was kind enough to translate most of what he's saying, so again, just ask me if you'd like the info.
In the end, I take this album to heart. It's one of my favorites I own, and listen to it religiously. Even the title: The Big Problem Does Not Equal the Solution. The Solution = Let It Be has a lot of meaning to me. Whenever you're stressing out, think about the title and you'll feel normal. Well, as normal as you can get after listening to this.
Crispin, thank you for making this beauty. I look forward to The Big Love, whenever it comes out.

Amazon.com
The third album by L.A.'s Negro Problem (and the first since golden-throated singer-guitarist Mark "Stew" Stewart took a three-year break to work on his solo career) is a delight on every level. These lyrics-driven songs memorably mutate funk, baroque '60s pop, lounge music, '80s synth pop, classic Tin Pan Alley, and psychedelic rock. The disc sounds like the Bonzo Dog Band, Vernon Reid, Cole Porter, and Arthur Lee collaborating on a tribute to Jacques Brel. The lyrics drop serious the-personal-is-political science while still exhibiting humor. The only problem lies with the album's eclecticism; an artist can be too talented and versatile for his own good (see Cardinal and Chocolate Genius). However, in an alternate universe where the charts teem with literate pop, "I'm Sebastian Cabot," "Astro Sister," and "Is This the Single?" rule the airwaves. --Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:
Mellow pop, incredibly sharp lyrics, beautiful vocal harmonies .......2006-05-30
Really, if you think Steely Dan or Elvis Costello write literate, sarcastic lyrics, Negro Problem is like that times 10. If you have a high tolerance for sarcasm and irony (like me) you'll love this, but most people can't take it. The first time I played it, I didn't like it nearly as much as "Post Minstrel Syndrome". After a couple plays, I was hooked. It may take a couple plays to grab you.
The lyrics here are so sharp, so often funny, sometimes really poetic, and packed with perfect, unexpected rhymes. I'm tempted to quote all of "Bermuda Love Triangle", which tells a funny story with great, internal rhymes built into each line; but then I'd give away the twist ending. "I'm Sebastian Cabot" and "Lime Green Sweater" likewise have lots of wit and perfect rhymes with great back-and-forth between the singers.
Sometimes they're too clever for their own good. The song "Is This The Single" makes fun of record companies guys who are focused on producing hits. It's a big 'f--- you' to the record company. I can only imagine what TNP's record company's executives must have thought when TNP first played that song for them. As for the song itself, it's almost a single-- catchy, almost a hit-- but too laden with synthesizers to really ignite. So, once again, TNP has no single.
The songs on this CD are more mellow than on the previous "Post Minstrel Syndrome" -- there is nothing as energetic as "Buzzing" from PMS. Whereas PMS sounded unlike anything except maybe They Might Be Giants or Elvis Costello, "Welcome Black" sounds like nothing except the song book for the coolest musical never written. Stew should really write songs for Broadway musicals-- he'd be better than Stephen Sondheim and the execrable Andrew Lloyd Webber, because Stew is edgy and rock n' roll.
Now I've got "The Watering Hole" stuck in my brain. That song is the mellowest on the CD, and I can't get it out of my head, it's so slow and cool. Worth it to buy the CD for that song alone. "You can find me... at the watering hole..."
TNP=The solution to uninspired music.......2003-10-08
I own everything they've put out & am anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new solo effort from this very website (in essence, "TNP" is Stew, so solo, or with band - the music is superb). Buy their albums, await their arrival, and only tell your close friends. Overexposure is death to any good band! (as you're probably well aware). Listen and judge for yourself. I'm sure you'll get hooked.
Try it, you'll love it!.......2003-05-24
Seriously though, this is classic music at its best! I've not done this album justice enough by this review, but take my word for it, practically every song on this album is great easy listening and fun for the whole gang!

Isn't it hard when you're spoiled rotten?.......2003-11-16
I'm very happy to say that "Luxury Problem" has plenty of tracks listeners can look forward to. "Less Teeth" addresses the horrors of cosmetic surgery; while ripping apart the glamorous image of Miss America, Theo attacks an industry that preys upon a woman's vanity. The album's bitterly proud title anthem reflects on the Lunachicks' long ride to fame and fortune. "I'll Be the One," (a song that's just over a minute long) is a shocking example of how taking a dare can be dangerous. "Crash" is a comical track that states how Death never takes a holiday; in just four minutes, Theo gets killed in a plane crash AND drowns in the mud. "Say What you Mean" takes the pleasure of stumbling over its own words, representing a dog chasing its tail. "Nowhere Fast" also honors the Lunachicks' celebrity status, only this time the ladies delve into the exhaustive burdens of constant touring and recording. In "Hope to Die," Theo portrays a beautiful convict who is sent to prison after strangling a police officer. "Shut you Out" is punk rock anger at its radioactive state; it instructs young women the most effective way to scare off obnoxious bullies. "Down at the Pub" can be described as an Irish drinking spoof performed by four inebriated tomboys. Beware of bullfrog belches! Finally, don't forget the blood-soaked "Terror Firmer," which sets the tone for the independent splatter flick of the same name.
"Luxury Problem," as a whole, is totally well-done. It just goes to show that rock & roll isn't for boys anymore!

perfect music.......2007-07-16
No matter what I say here, it won't justify how good this album is. There are no words to describe it that will do it justice. Just buy it. Hopefully you will like it as much as I do.
An amazing alternative!.......2006-05-24
If you think back on all of the greatest rock band's albums, and recall a certain buzz, then this album will hold your ears in suspense and a need for more. The lyrics are superbly written with vocabulary that only enhances the emotional attachment felt through this album in its entirety. When you hear "Traveling by stereo its suspension time in space. Your best, your worst, as you journey through the system you define body and mind.", then lead off into a casual frustration of old rock progressions while finalizing with a great conclusion with class and creativity, you'll realize that Bad Astronaut is something worth more than listening to. It's worth understanding.
If you really enjoy that raw rock sound, "Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem", by Bad Astronaut, is a great buy.
And by the way, enjoy!

Houston, We Have A Record Review.......2005-08-29
Bad Astronaut, due to the creation of writer/singer Joey Cape, has been labeled by many as a genre of punk. Admittedly, when you spin back towards Acrophobe, the distinctions are considerably more blurred. However, I cannot possibly categorize Houston... as a punk CD.
This is the unfortunate fault of many people who buy these CDs. Most of them have expected a CD on par with Lagwagon, and this is simply not the case. The music is not so similar(unless, as I mentioned, you're listening to Acrophobe, which shares much more in common with Lagwagon than Houston does). As poor David Hyatt is concerned, this CD isn't "Punk" enough for good ol' Joey Cape. The flaw in reasoning is at once understandable, due to categorization, but also poorly thought out.
The first thing you should note about Houston... is the slow progression of the opening track, These Days, which is a dead giveaway to the nature of this CD. The CD itself flows in a slower, conceptual way, dropping the speed and breakdowns of Lagwagon. If anything, Bad Astronaut has created a CD that flows into a vein of music that defines generalization. As so far, I have yet to hear a band that sounds even remotely similar.
I disagree with David, who seems to believe that the lyrics to Houston... are not as impressive as Lagwagon lyrics. Personally, I've always found Lagwagon to fall short in their lyrical content, mostly because Joey Cape's inability to direct an idea in his lyrics consistently. What's impressive, to me, about Houston... is the advancement of the lyrics, and their scope and nature. If you listen to this CD, it becomes apparent that there's a story here. If nothing else, this CD is just as the name suggests: the life of a drinker and a mover.
The CD is not without it's dead points, personally I cannot usually listen to Solar Sister or If I Had a Son, as they typically bore me to death. Though, the rest of the tracks on the CD more than make up for the two points I consider to be weak. And sure, there are a few spots where the lyrics get a little bit silly(Not a Dull Moment), but even those can be overlooked.
I believe that Bad Astronaut is truly the side of Joey Cape that's been trying to get out. As if his acoustic split with Tony Sly wasn't proof of this fact, it just seems to me that without spending so much time away from Lagwagon, he would've never come to realize a CD as broad and amazing as this. It shows maturity in bounds and leaps over the same tried-and-true formula that Lagwagon is famous for. Really, isn't this what music is about? Maturity? Growing up and experimenting?
This CD is an amazing testament to how complex any one person can be, showing that even the hardest rockers can expel their shell for something a bit more modest. I believe Joey Cape has done a great job with this CD, as well as the entire band as a whole(rest in peace Derrick Plourde). Perhaps the only true issue I have with this CD is the volume it was recorded at, which has the tendency to make even the kindest and smoothest speakers crackle a bit here and there, but overall, the production value is superb.
If there were ever a category for Bad Astronaut, I would list it as something around a Pop Funk Emo. But let's hope it never comes to that, because categorizing music makes it less individualistic, and Bad Astronaut is certainly it's own individual in the music industry.
spectacular.......2005-02-16
I love all music, seriosly. I think this band (primarily this cd) is perfect in all aspects. Listen to "disarm" and "another dead romance" and you hear what im trying to say. With tempo changes, heavy guitar, acoustics, piano, the band takes bits and peices from all styles of music, and surgicly combines them to create thier product.
If you like rock, any kind of rock, youll love this CD.
