Rec. #187: Here Lies Love
What: David Byrne and Fatboy Slim join forces to make a concept album about Imelda Marcos. Because why not.
Comparable to: A list of the contributing artists should give you a good idea — Tori Amos, Theresa Andersson, Nicole Atkins, David Byrne, Camille, Charmaine Clamor, Steve Earle, Fatboy Slim, Cyndi Lauper, Nellie McKay, Allison Moorer, Sharon Jones, Natalie Merchant, Róisín Murphy, Candie Payne, Kate Pierson, Alice Russell, St. Vincent, Santigold, Sia, Martha Wainwright, Florence Welch, Shara Worden
Representative lyric: "And if I bang my head on the wall for hours/ Then I won’t feel the confusion no more/ The New York doctor—bright yellow pills he gave me/ Remind yourself what you’re doing it for—"
You might not like it if: You choose to hold your breath until they mention shoes, which would cause you to pass out from lack of oxygen.
