I wonder if they have like an entire brass section that will tour with them or if it'll be overdubs or something.

what is up with her face on the cover


"Clark's face is being stretched by wires, and Byrne's chin, on closer examination, has taken on a rugged cleft.

"At one point", continues Byrne, "there was a beauty and the beast idea, but with the roles reversed, with me as a plastic beauty and Annie as a feral beast." ("Feral beast," she nods.) "It was, to me, making fun of our age difference, but it got tempered to be less obvious, more of a double take: 'Whoa!' We worked with this really great prosthetics guy, who did the Cremaster Cycle for Matthew Barney. We got our faces moulded, so we both have exact replicas of our faces. Every wrinkle, every pore."

I love the first song. The whole album should've been better though. It just pales in comparison with Strange Mercy or The Talking Heads' best work.

Oh you guise. You jizz yourselves over Swana and Rush, but are meh towards this. Personally, this album reminds me of 50s/60s era Disney animation films (Robin Hood and Merlin) and Mutato Muzika (the early Crash Bandicoot games). I dig the shit out of it. :D I feel like a little kid.

XD I do have to admit, though, everything post "I should watch TV" is a bit weak.
