''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 Kiefer, who also posed for the cover photo. | ''Now Playing'' is the debut album by [[Chopper One]], [[Jason Cropper]]'s post-weezer band.

This release heralded a new line-up for the band, which added guitarist Dallan Baumgarten, and replaced original drummer Tyrone Rio with Troy Zeigler. | ||
At the time of release, the album was fairly well-received by weezer fans. The band even played at a couple of weezer fan club gatherings, and contributed the album track "I Like You" to the benefit compilation [[Hear You Me! A Tribute To Mykel And Carli]]. However, time has not been kind to the disc, as many boardies deride its sunny pop sheen and slick production. Still, some consider it a lost power-pop gem. | At the time of release, the album was fairly well-received by weezer fans.
