Do they do the "somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had..." song? If that's them, I've only heard that song so I can't tell you anything about the CD but I can recommend some Pulp, whom you might also like if you haven't discovered that already.
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I have all this Pulp on an mp3 CD someone gave me (like two or three years ago) but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
I'm generally not a big Britpop fan (Lord spare me from Oasis), but I do like Pulp.
Sadly, my wife has declared Thelonious, Miles, and Lemmy off-limits for kids' names.
Raymond Douglas Childs has a nice ring to it...

Blur's where it's happening, bay-bee.
I can't get over the "woo hoo!" song. It's soured me on Blur. Also the fact that there's a lyric in that song that sounds like, "I got my head checked / by Erma Bombeck."
I know that's stupid. I should give them another try.

Heh. That's the most anomalous song in their catalogue. And it's purposefully so, because it was their sort of historical response to Nirvana. A way to let go of all their tightly crafted, carefully thought out songs and let one rip with a big, dumb roar. They're very Not!Dumb most of the time.

This gives me hope. iTunes, ho!
Now, I do like "Langford" and "Raymond Douglas". I'm partial to "Quine," too, but my wife thinks that it'll only get him beat up every day.
I'm a philistine. I love "Song 2" and "Crazy Beat."
(Also, Jen, it's "by a jumbo jet." Which makes no more sense, but there you go.)
