I have yet to listen to the new serpentwithfeet, but I imagine that I'm going to really dig it. I caught David Byrne on tour a few months ago and it was truly incredible. I brought my pops for his birthday and he was moved to tears. I'm glad we got to check off that bucket list item together.

The current iteration of his live show is really something to behold. I still couldn’t believe we got “The Great Curve” when he played here last month.
