Six Dozen Cookies is a selection of stories written and read by David Fair and put to music with help from his brother Jad Fair. For years, the two recorded albums and toured as über-important underground rock duo Half Japanese. Now, the brothers are together again and, as always, this is no ordinary collaboration. Six Dozen Cookies features a dystopian world where Lake Michigan is substituted for Lake Wobegon and David Fair sports a well-trimmed black goatee, serving as the world’s bizarro Garrison Keeler. He crafts short, simple, personal tales about small-town family life – growing up, growing old, and how long it really takes to find grandpa a new pair of shoes.This is no spoken word album to be filed separately from your collection of ‘90s indie rock; destined to spend all eternity sharing space next to your dusty Henry Rollins, Jerky Boys and Jello Biafra. CDs. No! This CD will serve to glue the rock, jazz, old-time radio show, and spoken word records all together in one big happy family.
