Album Notes

"Urban Shocker" is the follow-up to Smart Alec's sensational three-disc debut, "The Debris That Is Me." The sound this time is richer and fuller, while the songs continue to expand on Smart Alec's favorite themes of love, food, and celebrity worship. Smart Alec has been compared to everything from the Kinks to Cheap Trick to Beck, which he finds very flattering indeed.

In keeping with Smart Alec's commitment to packaging innovation (begun with the distinctive cardboard container for "The Debris That is Me"), your copy of "Urban Shocker" will arrive in an attractive brushed aluminum tin, with a hand-silk screened design. Included with every CD is a bonus "You Can Play It" card, with the chords and lyrics to a selected song. Collect all 33!

In addition, H. R. Tilden from Rock Opera Quarterly has discovered that the songs on "Urban Shocker" form an inadvertent suite, a frankly fictitious tribute to forgotten baseball hero Urban Shocker. For a lengthy excerpt of his essay, visit www.mentalslapstick.com.
