Thanks for the mini history, Mark. I've only recently purchased the full
length but there's quite a few songs on there even better (and poppier) than
"Cobrastyle."
So yes, serious I was, though part of what I dug about that Letterman
appearance was the humor of it, as well as the unusual instrumentation.
Normally I'd think two drummers wasn't necessary -- though Pere Ubu toured
that way at one point and the shows were kick ass -- but they really push
the rhythmic punch here.
