Cansei de Ser Sexy


Cansei de Ser Sexy is the first full-length album by Brazilian indie rock band CSS. It was released on October 9, 2005 by Trama in Brazil, where it reportedly sold 5,000 copies and failed to chart. It was released in the United States on July 11, 2006 on the Sub Pop label, and in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2007 by Sire Records. A limited edition version of the album included a CD-R. The purpose of this was that the buyer could burn a copy of the album onto the CD-R to give to someone else as a gift, paying homage to the effects of digital technology upon the dissemination and popularization of music.
The song "Alala" and video for "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" were included preloaded on the Zune multimedia player, released in November 2006. The songs "Alala" and "Off the Hook" are featured in the Xbox 360 video games Forza Motorsport 2 and FIFA 08. The song "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex" was featured in a Zune advertisement in 2006 and an iPod Touch advertisement in 2007. The song "Alala" was featured in an episode of the MTV show The Hard Times of RJ Berger.
