WHO DOESN'T LOVE A BREAD BAKER?:

Crash Test Dummies On World Cafe (WXPN, 10/20/10)

Now in their mid-40s, the members of Crash Test Dummies have come a long way since the release of The Ghosts That Haunt Me and God Shuffled His Feet. After several years of hiatus, the group got back together with fresh ideas and a slew of new songs. After becoming infatuated with a vintage musical toy called the Optigan, Roberts and Stewart Lerman decided to have their comeback album, Ooh La-La, revolve around the electric organ's distinct sound.

In contrast to some of the band's earlier work, Ooh La-La is a generally optimistic and youthful album.
