Back from the Dead

Hisashiburi dane!

It sure has been a while, but FmGT has returned. And with that I’ll just jump right in and give you my most recent musical obsession.

David Byrne and Fatboy Slim just released ‘Here Lies Love,’ a concept album inspired by the life of Philippino empress, Imelda Marcos. It’s certainly not what you’d expect from Norman or the former talking head, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few killer hooks. How Are You is a feel good track with a lounge infused bossa nova attitude and vocals by Nellie McKay. I won’t be surprised if we see an upbeat remix of this one in the near future.
