Hot Toothpaste, The "Mildly Humorous" Band

Always exciting to come across a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously. If comedy and goofball guitar strumming were a legitimate musical genre, then Hot Toothpaste might just be The Pixies of the genre. This email from someone called Ted Caplan associated with this band should put things in perspective:
Hello Mr Fish,
Just thought I'd pass along our wee-little album. It has recently been heard on KXLU in Los Angeles and we think it is "mildly" humorous, thought provoking and enjoyable (in that order). Here's a link to download the whole thing:

You will instantly notice the first song is not music but an interview. If you don't have time for somewhat humorous interviews skip to the even-numbered songs.
Thanks for your time and enjoy the Hot Toothpaste.
Best,
Ted

Love it. First I get called "Mr Fish". And then I get a free album of 18 tracks with titles like "KCRW", "Larry King Live", and "Ball's Bounce". Not to mention that the music is nice "slacker pop" or "pop culture slackery". All under 30 minutes. Try it, of course the whole thing is available for free download (see link above).

Is that a parody of the Innocence Mission album cover? Sure looks like that one, I think it's called "Befriended."
