''Now Playing'' is the debut album by [[Chopper One]], [[Jason Cropper]]'s post-weezer band.  Recorded and released in 1997, the album was produced by Don Fleming, who has worked with former weezer tourmates [[Teenage Fanclub]], among others.  The album included re-recorded versions of the A & B-sides of their debut single, [["Free Lunch"]], as well as twelve new songs.  The initial release featured a hidden track, a vocal performace by the Croppers' first-born daughter, who also posed for the cover photo.

The album was reissued by Restless Records in 1998 under the name ''Chopper One'', with a new artwork, and a newly-recorded single [["A Punk Named Josh"]] replacing "Mary's Clothes" in the otherwise unchanged track listing - although they did leave off the original hidden track.  This release heralded a new line-up for the band, which added guitarist Dallan Baumgarten, and replaced original drummer Tyrone Rio with Troy Zeigler.
